Government Shut Down Update: SCHUMER JUST BLINKED
DC Whispers ^ | Jan.20, 2018 | DC Whispers Staff

Posted on 01/21/2018 8:19:32 AM PST by libstripper

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer gave a tepid, droning, and utterly unconvincing performance on the Senate floor this morning where he repeatedly inserted the phrase, “the Trump shutdown.” The problem for Mr. Schumer is two-fold: First, very few watched his speech. Yes, CNN, MSNBC, etc., will replay it a few times, but none of those replays will generate as much interest as a single Trump tweet. Second, and this is even more critical, the phrase “Schumer Shutdown” is trending throughout Social Media circles – a development which has Mr. Schumer’s staff increasingly troubled. He doesn’t want to be the one shackled with the blame for the shutdown – the Establishment Media was supposed to make certain that was done to President Trump.

“Schumer Shutdown”

Does have a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Little Chuckie Schumer is about to find out just how great of a job PDJT does branding his political opponents, if he hasn't figured it out already.

I told this story yesterday here on FR about when I went to the local CVS to pick up a prescription and the people standing in line at the pharmacy were all talking about the shutdown and blaming the DEMOCRATS for shutting down the government to protect ILLEGAL ALIENS. People out here in the Midwest are pissed.

The Democrats tied themselves to DACA and DREAMERS and out here in fly-over country (even in Illinois where I am ....) people are really upset that once again the Democrats are choosing ILLEGAL ALIENS over them. "The Democrats shut down the government for what? To give illegal aliens more of what I work for? OH HELL NO!" was just one of the things I heard while standing in line.

Democrats are going to lose BIG TIME on this issue. They're just too stupid to realize it yet.

Poor little Chuckie just didn’t realize what he was getting into when he took on the world’s greatest salesman.

"As you start typing Schumer there is not type ahead feature activated with a Schumer shutdown"

On Bing there is and it does!

Google scumbags force you to type out the whole search. They are blocking it.

I noticed that. Usually I just have to put in a few characters and what I want pops up, but not with this.

Fortunately, most citizens across the vast breadth of America today--January 21, 2018--are watching sports--not the pitiful moanings and protestations from a NY Senator whose name will forever be associated with "government shutdown" and "resistance" to progress and prosperity!

Amazon has some great T shirts with Schumer Shutdown. My favorite is the one that says “Shutdown Schumer”

Media is balking at covering for dems this time because there is no way to spin this in favor of the left without looking like an absolute idiot. The CR contains only stuff the dems want yet almost all of them have voted against it.

I just heard some clown on NPR say the “90% of Americans want amnesty” for illegals.

As one who made his career in sales, I have very much enjoyed watching President Trump at work. He is a real master at the craft.

Go to Google and search it.
I wouldn't do or use anything Google related even if President Trump suggested it.

I searched “Schumer Shutdown” on the following:

Duck Duck Go
Google
Bing
Yahoo
eBay
Amazon
You Tube

Every one, (including ebay!) had tons of “Schumer Shutdown” products, videos, articles, and images! LOL!

"Schumer Shutdown" t-shirts on Amazon - LOL!

Funny, all of those search engines had "Schumer Shutdown" in their quick pull-down menu of recent trending searches. Except for Google, of course, which is evidently trying to scrub it (imagine that).

Schumer and literally every democrat are liars through and through. They are so vested in their pack of constant lies that the truth can never be uttered by any of them. That’s what happens when a party elects a pack of cheapshit slip and fall lawyers to Congress.

The truth can and will destroy them.

I’m late to the thread and I’ll never make it through the whole thing. However, your suggestion re trending interested me. I treat Google like the Black Plague, so I went to Bing. I typed ‘Schumer,’ — and up popped, ‘Schumer shut down.’ I.e.: it was already the number one trending search re Schumer.

Clicked on it, and saw all Schumer’s old quotes coming back to bite him. Bol.
