This Fucking Guy: Chuckie Schumer

The Surrender Monkey does what he does best when faced with the Chaos Caucus

Update: It’s all over, 60 votes for the CR, and it is passed.

I really can’t understand how the Democrats can be so fucking feckless, over and over again. The oft cited quote from Will Rogers that he is not the member of an organized political party, he’s a Democrat, rings truer day by day.

Yesterday, March 13, as we were barreling towards a government shutdown tonight (the 14th), it seemed like the Senate Dems were going to hang together to have those turd blossoms fail to obtain cloture (well, except for Manchin-lite - AKA John Fetterman), and then Chuckles decided to throw in with the wads of fuck that are the Republicans, and support this fucking terrible pile of shit CR like legislation with all sorts of shitty caveats.

The WaPo has this (gifted link) “Democrats to decide: Shut down government or side with Trump” bit of hagiography.

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-New York) said Thursday that he plans to support the GOP funding bill, lowering the odds of a government shutdown.

“For sure the Republican bill is a terrible option,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take … much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”

You fucking know what Chuckles? Giving them carte blanche to do all their fucked up shit, give air cover for Muskrat’s asshattery, and essentially give up ANY leverage the Dems might have had. Schumer might as well don a fucking red hat and begin attending Trump rallies.

Look, I see tons of people out in the world saying why aren’t the Dems stopping the insanity. And I carefully explain over and over that the Dems ain’t got any juice.

But this is the one time that they could slow the runaway freight train, and then you have the goddamn minority leader of the motherfucking Senate of the United Fucking States giving air cover for the fucking limp Democrats to get in line and prevent the shutdown.

What really fucking pisses me off is that just the day earlier, Schumer said boldly that there wasn’t enough stomach in the Dem’s to let the R’s get to cloture.

The announcement comes just a day after Schumer said there were not enough Democrats to support the bill and as the caucus faces intense pressure from House Democrats and Democratic voters across the ideological spectrum to oppose it.

For fuck’s sake dude, you had (for once) a solid chance to stick a finger in the eye to Trump and to toss sand in the blitzkrieg that Musk and Trump’s shitbag cabinet is doing.

Instead, you get the Trump ego stroke:

Yeah, you pusillanimous surrender-monkey, you really showed them, but at least you won’t get any grief from <checks notes> anyone who is pissed at the shutdown.

Look fuckwit, you don’t want to own the shutdown. I get that. But sometimes you need to stand up and do what is right.

And backing down, giving air cover to the other Dems in the Senate to cave in is a terrible look. You deserve to be primaried and I hope that you go down in a blaze of glory, because if I lived in NY, I would vote for an inanimate carbon rod over your pathetic ass.

For that, Chuckie, you win the “This Fucking Guy” award this week.

Addendum: Jojo from Jerz has her own take, and it is 100% worth reading:

Step the F up, Chuck.

Highly recommended!
