Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on Senate Republicans on Monday to “take immediate action” on the Trump administration’s stonewalling of a whistleblower’s complaint about President Donald Trump.
Face it, he doesn’t have the ability to force hearings, but can he back Schiff and Nadler up?
OK,Schumer that’s a start but if there’s anything ever to vote for in the Senate maybe a nice long filibuster with these talking points would be helpful. Out loud, say it often in public, now is the time.
“Schumer sent a letter on Monday to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) urging him and his Republican colleagues to probe Trump’s alleged attempts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, the President’s top 2020 Democratic rival.”
McConnell: “Nyet.”
Ah, yes! The classic, Harry Reid-style Sternly-Worded Letter®. Meanwhile, Speaker Pelosi is still a Honey Badger, and still don’t give a &^*%…
Let’s discuss the possibility of fat chance.
I’ve opened a special breath-holding room for everyone.
You will need to allow all of the “Reasonable Republican’ts” who will rally to Senator Schumer’s call to vape in this room, or else they won’t come…
Welp. …he laid it out there for the Record.
Moscow Mitch doing Vlad’s bidding again.
Who does Schumer think he’s talking to? He has to know this Sternly worded letterTM is as effective as Thoughts and PrayersTM.
He should be speaking to people who actually can do something.
See?
SEE?
How far we have gone. Suppose Everett Dirksen said “Nyet” to working with his own country against Russia.
He would have been jailed ONCE (which would have been enough) for what Mitchie Moscow does every single day.
Well said, but I wouldn’t hold my breath Chuck.
The whistleblower complaint labeled “urgent”, so we spend weeks URGING its release?
Wtf
This is effing crazy.
If by “effing crazy” you mean “the new normal”
And your plan to confront Moscow Mitch as Minority leader would be what exactly
Ooh, lots of anti-Semitism in one crazy post.
Of course he will. Why do you question he won’t.
It would be to do unto Mitch what Mitch has done to us. The Minority Leader has the power to slow Senate business to a glacial pace, but only if he chooses to use the power given to him. GOD! If I had a nickel for every time Mitch McConnell lamented while he was the Minority Leader, “Gee kids, there’s nothing I can do to get what I want from Reid and Obama because I don’t have the votes,” I’d have exactly nothing…
I’d suggest a duel, but Schumer would probably end up like Hamilton.
