NYC protesters rally outside Chuck Schumer’s home to demand he step down over budget vote: ‘Devastating lack of leadership’
NY Post ^ | 3/23/25 | Valentina Jaramillo, Steve Janoski

About 100 protesters rallied outside Sen. Chuck Schumer’s Park Slope home Sunday to rip him for folding on a GOP-backed spending bill — with one sign reading, “Lost spine, if found please return to Chuck.”

Schumer — the Empire State’s 74-year-old senior senator and Democratic caucus leader since 2017 — has insisted he won’t step down from his leadership role despite mounting pressure to do so.

The senator showed a “devastating lack of leadership as he capitulated to [President] Trump, [Elon] Musk and the GOP during negotiations over government funding,” said a statement from Indivisible Brooklyn, the liberal group that staged the demonstration at Schumer’s Brooklyn home.

“Since then, Senator Schumer has been pleading his case on multiple platforms, but New Yorkers aren’t buying it,” the statement said. “Schumer is not meeting the dire moment: It’s time for new leadership in the Senate that will fight fascism tooth and nail.”

Some of Sunday’s picketers toted signs that read, “Stand up or step down” and, “Resist or resign.”

About a dozen officers stood watch outside the embattled leader’s home, which was also protected by metal barricades that forced the protesters across the street.

“Your time is up, Chuck!” they chanted as the cops looked on.

Jennie Spector, one of Indivisible Brooklyn’s organizers, told The Post that Schumer “really betrayed us [and] betrayed the people who are counting on him to step up and protect us from what is clearly a fascist government in the White House.

“We’re calling on him to step down as minority leader because he’s not the leader we need at this moment,” Spector said.

AOC.

Could be they’re wanting to clear out the old guard to bring the fresh, more radical blood up through the ranks.

I wouldnt want not one of those junkers. Not one.

Gimme a 1966 to 70 chev pickup with a straight six and four on the floor.
Or a 95 to 2000 style dodge with a slant six and four on the floor.
Or a mid 80s ford with a straight six and four on the floor.

Or and 20s ford or 29 chev.

But I wouldnt refuse a nice Rolls Royce from the early years.

RE: But I wouldnt refuse a nice Rolls Royce from the early years.

Would the one on Burke’s Law with Gene Barry be acceptable? Was apparently good enough for the several classy, beautiful women on the series.

Have to interject here, would having Tim Walz come over and look under the hoods to keep them running well be a factor?
Probably not.

What Chuck Schumer should be riding in is a motorized cart with a small trailer in back carrying the laundry bags and alternating with garbage inside the federal “correctional facility” where he belongs. 2 miles per hour tops.

But make sure he doesn’t hide inside and get out in the trash trucks.

One example.
Prisoners Timothy Clausen and Armon Dixon hid in a laundry cart loaded onto a truck and punched a hole in the roof to escape from the Lincoln Correctional Center, later stealing a vehicle.

More famous one. El Chapo Guzman.
“In 2001, Guzman escaped prison by hiding in a laundry cart. He was not apprehended again until 2014. The following year, Guzman escaped again. This time he crawled through an opening in the floor of his shower into a tunnel.”

Another.

Crime
Basket Case: Inmate hides in laundry to escape
July 9, 2014 / 9:02 AM EDT / AP

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Authorities say a New Mexico inmate escaped from jail by hiding in a laundry basket.

Officials say 28-year-old Kevin Matthew Perkins packed himself in the basket Monday to get away from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque. Authorities say the laundry basket was bound for another facility.

When an officer opened a truck door, officials say Perkins jumped out of the laundry and ran.

Later, Albuquerque police received a breaking and entering call from an assisted living complex. There, they found broken glass from a window, and followed a trail of blood that led to Perkins. CBS News site. 2014.

You are hard to please.

And those actresses deserved the jewelry and luxury cars they were used to. Probably had to put up with arrogant guys all the time.
