Can Chuck Really Handel His Job?

Two-Cluck Chuck

Attendees on a recent town hall teleconference questioned whether Schumer's strategy was tough enough to have a real impact, per the Washington Post. "We are in a gunfight, but we have a butter knife," one of the attendees said.

While more "disruptive" ideas like quorum-breaking — which would require Democrats to withhold their attendance at Senate sessions, and thereby prevent lawmakers from reaching a "quorum" — have been floated as possible tactics, Schumer has indicated that he prefers to focus attention on the issue areas that have been raised. He asked constituents at the recent town hall to stop "prodding Democrats to use their limited procedural power to delay a Supreme Court confirmation," according to ABC News.

"I think if we put all of our eggs in that basket, we'll have less of a chance to focus on the substantive issues," he said, per Politico.

What the hell is he talking about? What "substantive issues" can we focus on after Trump has cemented a conservative majority on the Court for a generation? These are the end times. Fight, damn it! I'm not sitting in the back of the bus because your sorry ass doesn't want to get your fingernails dirty. Nancy Pelosi would never put up with this. She would whip votes. She'd go on the offensive.

When Nancy has bigger balls than Chuck, well things are bleak!

How would Pelosi fight harder? They're both weak and incompetent at "resisting" Trump and the mean ol Republicans. All either of them do is roll over and show their bellies if Trump tweets something mean about either of them or if Mitch McConnell keeps insisting the Democrats are being the most obstructionistic party now. (Ironic coming from the man who spent eight years obstructing everything Obama wanted to do)

The Gov't shutdown back in January was their chance to show they had the guts to "Resist" the administration's agenda, and they blew it. They blew it big time. They didn't get Daca people protected and Trump and the Republicans look stronger than ever afterward.


They are all weak and impotent against Trump and the Republican machine.

I'm not even sure if Chuck can Mozart his job.
