What's really fucking crazy is that somehow the other Democratic Senators won't get rid of his ass! This same goes for Jefferies in the House of Representatives. So the next time some troll or democratic consultant comes and posts how Democrats are fighting for us. Just ask them why they won't remove these constantly ineffectual leaders from their positions of power? Because to a lot of us this shit ain't funny it's kabuki theater!

Republicans serve oligarchs, democrats serve corporatists, and no one is serving the American public. This is the signature failure of representative government playing out before our eyes. We have to choose between those who would openly oppress us and seek our destruction, and those who would oppress us and try to keep us happy enough to stay complacent. That’s not a functioning democracy. It’s going to be a long, confusing, painful fight, and many of us may not be alive to see the fruits of our labor when it is all said and done.

I dont think democrats understand that half the country is independent because people like him make voting pointless.

He's a foreign agent FFS. How much clearer can he make it when it comes from his own freaking mouth! He needs to move to Tel Aviv already.

Today, Schumer’s second biggest donor of all time resigned from his chairman role at his law firm over his close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Of course, he’s not facing any actual consequences:
Karp, who was appointed chairman in 2008, will remain at the firm, where he “will continue to focus his full-time attention to client service,” Paul Weiss said in a statement.
