When a 78 year old acts like an insolent 2 year old, they need to be told “NO,” even if it’s for the first time in their life. Say it, over and over and over again, if necessary!!

Schumer told Annie Karni and Luke Broadwater: “Here’s my hope … after this election, when the Republican party expels the turd of Donald Trump, it will go back to being the old Republican party.”
That insult may cause a splash at the White House in light of Trump’s abuse of Schumer, who he said last week was “not Jewish any more”, over the senator’s response to anti-Israel college protests.
According to Karni and Broadwater, of the New York Times, Schumer delivered his judgment over a glass of wine one night in June 2023. With hindsight, the authors add: “If Schumer had seen any of it coming, he had not wanted to face it.”

Here’re today’s Snyder and Cox Richardson. Also today’s Krugman:

Smears, Sadism and Social Security - Paul Krugman
The cascade of calamities grows daily and exponentially. The more damaging long term consequences are to our foreign policy. Alliances probably shattered forever. American foreign interest thrown away for Putin’s in its place. Our security and intelligence infrastructures dismantled. Our economy soon to be gutted by completely insane trade wars. Sacrificing talent for ideology at the department of defense. Our standing in the world degraded, if not forever, then for generations. Our status among free societies transmogrified from a model to a pariah.
For most Americans these consequences are abstruse and hardly register. Last night, Rachel Maddow, with Tim Snyder as her guest, emphasized that current polls show:
-
that Putin’s favorability among Americans is 84% negative and 3% positive;
-
that Americans favor Ukraine over Russia by a slightly smaller gap (primarily due to a slightly larger “neither” showing); and,
-
that the vast majority think Trump favors Russia over Ukraine.
These poll results led Maddow and Snyder to conclude that this unjust war against and betrayals of Ukraine made a key focal point for a growing resistance movement.
I think the better focus is furnished by the now openly shameless corruption of Trump and Musk destroying Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid to further line their already obscenely bloated pockets. They’re doing this through billions more in tax cuts paid for by cutting and crippling Social Security, etc. They’re adding further billions to their piles at the expense of normal Americans by destroying the IRS’ ability to catch fat cat tax cheats.
I nominate “Pigs on the Potomac” as a lead slogan for the demonstrations and advertising campaigns against them.

Good to see Schumer out there proving everyone’s point that he’s not up to the moment and needs to go.
Hopefully he doesn’t drag this out for another 6 weeks too

Imagine if half of the major political parties in this nation had even a third of its members with a functional spine. Fat Nixon would be celebrating several months in jail at this point instead of installing the Fourth Reich, Dumb and Dumber edition.
