Count Charles Barkley as someone who isn’t going to be boycotting Bud Light anytime soon.According to TMZ, the NBA legend and TV personality was in Lake Tahoe for the American Century Celebrity golf tournament. At some point, he got a little time away from the links. This gave him a chance to take the mic and lambast people unhappy with Bud Light’s descent into wokeness.“I want y’all to drink this f–king beer,” Sir Charles said. “I want y’all to drink this f–king beer, I got three cases of Bud Light.”Those three cases may mean that Barkley was holding onto the...

Viewers of the progressive news cable channel MSNBC melted down on social media Tuesday after anchor Chuck Todd said that President Joe Biden didn't have a "loyal fanbase." Social media erupted with anger and frustration when Todd made the comments on his show "Meet the Press Daily" ahead of Biden's first State of the Union speech in Congress. "Chuck is an uninformed idiot. Just because 81 million of us don’t wear T-shirts, wrap up our cars in banners, and build golden idols, doesn’t mean we aren’t out there," replied one angry Twitter user. "Chuck Todd decides to act like an...

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Thursday condemned a sweeping elections bill signed into law by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), calling the legislation “despicable” and vowing to take action against it. “Since 2012—the GA GOP has closed more than 200 polling places,” Schumer tweeted. “Voters in mostly Black precincts now wait 8X LONGER to vote than voters in mostly white precincts. Now the GOP makes it a crime to give water to people standing in long lines THEY CREATED.” The top Democrat vowed: “We will act.” The controversial law, passed by a party-line vote just hours earlier by...

If the new impeachment standard is inflammatory speech, then Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer should be the next in line after former President Trump, as far as Sen. Rand Paul is concerned. The Kentucky Republican on Sunday blasted House Democrats for bringing an article of impeachment against Mr. Trump for “incitement of insurrection” while ignoring the incendiary comments of Mr. Schumer and other Democrats, calling it a “partisan farce. “I opposed the notion, which I think was a misguided notion, of voting to overturn the election, either with Congress or with the vice president,” said Mr. Paul on “Fox...

More than 60 progressive groups signed a letter that was sent to Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) urging him to get rid of the filibuster in the Senate. The letter is calling for the filibuster to be removed after Democrats won the House, Senate and presidency for the first time since 2011. “The results of this election have unlocked the door to change, but another clear obstacle remains: the rules of the United States Senate that allow a partisan minority to block legislation and will prevent the Senate from governing and delivering on the promises they made to voters...

On multiple occasions over the last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has proclaimed justification for President Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial by claiming it’s about “healing.” This isn’t just placate-speak coming from a Democrat, which we often hear. This is absolutely accurate from his perspective. And therein lies the real reason this impeachment trial is going forward.NOT A JOKE: Schumer Says Only an Impeachment Trial of Trump Can ‘Bring Healing’ to the Country https://t.co/LzwlDanQ80— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) January 25, 2021Most speculation has surrounded the stated notion that impeaching him will prevent him from running for office again. They have to...

@Breaking911 NEW: Schumer calls for President Trump to be removed from office with the 25th amendment. If not, he wants him impeached.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) will try to pass legislation on Tuesday to increase the amount of the stimulus checks included in a recently signed coronavirus package from $600 to $2,000. Schumer’s effort, which he announced on Monday night, comes after the House passed the legislation in a bipartisan 275-134 vote, kicking the bill to the GOP-controlled Senate. “Tomorrow I will move to pass the legislation in the Senate to quickly deliver Americans with $2,000 emergency checks. Every Senate Democrat is for this much-needed increase in emergency financial relief, which can be approved tomorrow if no Republican blocks it...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was aghast Thursday night after receiving a letter in which President Trump accused him of being a “bad” senator and asserted that Schumer was vulnerable to a primary challenge from within his own party. “No wonder AOC [U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] and others are thinking about running against you in the primary. If they did, they would likely win,” Trump wrote. The president’s letter was apparent retaliation after Schumer wrote to the White House earlier in the day, criticizing Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak. The Democrat responded during an appearance on MSNBC.

A day after he was abruptly fired by President Trump, outgoing Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson spoke on the phone with Senate Minority Chuck Schumer. The New York Democrat said Saturday evening that he told the independent watchdog, whom defenders fear was removed to settle a score stemming from the impeachment saga, he will be remembered as a "hero." "I spoke to Inspector General Michael Atkinson tonight, thanked him for his service, and told him that history will remember him as a hero and those who retaliated against him as scoundrels," Schumer tweeted.

White House counselor Kellyanne Conway told reporters Monday that the White House sees “no reason” for acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and three other witnesses to testify at a Senate impeachment trial, as requested by the top Democrat in the Senate. “We don’t do things just because Sen. [Chuck] Schumer asks us to do them. That’s very clear,” Conway told reporters at the White House Monday evening. “Starting on Oc. 8, our White House counsel made very clear that he looks at the entire process as unconstitutional, illegitimate, and ill-conceived.” “There is no reason for them to go and...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday called on President Donald Trump to continue working with Congress on gun control measures despite Democrats' official impeachment inquiry over a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Specifically, Schumer wants Trump to consider backing universal background checks, a bill known as HR 8 that passed in the House earlier this year. “Amidst the impeachment inquiry the gears of government can still move. Anyone who suggests otherwise is advancing a false narrative,” Schumer said at his Manhattan office on Sunday, the New York Post reported. “In fact, the best example of...

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is appealing to former President George W. Bush in an escalating fight over documents tied to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Schumer, in a letter to be released on Friday, is asking for Bush's help with a "time-sensitive request"—to publicly release all paperwork from Kavanaugh's service in the Bush White House, where he worked as a legal counsel and staff secretary. "My purpose ... is to ask you to authorize that the complete record of Judge Kavanaugh's service in the White House be made public so all Americans can be informed about this nomination...

Shut your trap and get off the floor already and let the vote begin. Isn't time for you to go take a poop already?

I want to begin by sending my condolences to anyone who has lost a loved in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, or Irma. I also offer my prayers for all who have been effected by Harvey's destruction in Texas and those who will be effected by Irma, where ever it may land. I do not mean to discount the suffering many are going through, nor do I want to insult anyone who cares so much for their loved ones that they are evacuating their home for safer ground. That being said. Why am I so not into how bad...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) knocked President Trump's first speech to Congress, arguing there's a gap between the president's rhetoric and his administration's actions. "The speech and reality have never been more detached in a presidential speech. It really doesn't matter what he said. This is like the campaign, and he says one thing but as he governs it's another," the Senate's top Democrat told MSNBC on Tuesday night. He noted that while Trump talked about infrastructure Democrats haven't "heard a peep" from the White House about a proposal they rolled out earlier this year. Schumer also pointed to...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he has "serious doubts" about President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court, the first sign of what is likely to be a contentious confirmation battle. "Now more than ever, we need a Supreme Court Justice who is independent, eschews ideology, who will preserve our democracy, protect fundamental rights, and will stand up to a President who has already shown a willingness to bend the Constitution," Schumer said in a statement. "Given his record, I have very serious doubts about Judge Gorsuch’s ability to meet this standard. Judge...
