    Why would Israel’s controlled opposition in their colonial-occupational government openly oppose the deportation of his enemy? Of course he is rejoicing with his fellow Epsteinite-unipartymen, raping children and drinking their blood on some new private island.

    Chuck is as much an enemy of the people as Trump, but more insidious than outright evil, by presenting himself as an ally to and leader of the left-wing. He’s nothing more than a bulwark for the Zionazis and a concierge to the other powerbrokers.

    Of course not. Its his full time job to “fight for aid to Israel, all the aid it needs”, he said so himself. He doesnt care at all about Omar, or any of us --except maybe as sources of funds.

      Can’t agree there, the government of Israel has gotten along really well with the government of Saudi Arabia for example. If you murder journalists and protesters and otherwise repress dissent they will try to work with you.

      Ha, Zionists hate everybody. They are the Chosen People.

      And Islam hates everybody, they are God’s select. So there’s a wee bit of conflict there. A thousand years of this clown show.

        It’d be a tidy summation if it were true, but its not historically accurate. Jewish people got along just fine in Muslim lands until zionism resurged. There has been 100 years of violence, since zionism-- which is racism.

          I wonder where that aspect of Zionism originated…

          I hate to say it, but one of the big three is not like the others.

            They are all infested with a smug superiority and have proven willing and able to murder all who won’t submit to their rule.

            They are dissimilar in some ways, but the most important thing is that they are all murderous and all have scriptural support to be murderous.

            But yes, one of the big three is not like the others. For example, there are no PRIDE parades in any Islamic state.

            All three have a lot to answer for over the years. I could do without any of them, but I think humans would find some other bullshit excuses and narratives around an invisible friend to justify subjugating other countries and subjugating others within their own country…

              Humans will always find some other bullshit excuse and narrative… but only the religious get tax-free status over and above any non-profit.

              We certainly shouldn’t be passing their tax burdens onto everybody else, for any religion. They are all unfathomably wealthy already, no need to add to their gigantic pile of gold.

    One more reason to support term limits for Congress.

    Yes, we’d lose a few of the “good ones”, but it would keep corrupt fucks like Chuck from staying in power too long. The net positives would far outweigh the net negatives.

    The problem isn’t that he’s 75, the problem is he’s been in office almost 30 years. He’s corrupt and he has the support of a corrupt machine.

    Old guys who are entrenched, whether democrat or republican, should finally get the hell out of dodge and let the next generation take over.

      People like JD? He’s the “next generation”, I guess. Or a few generations down, actually. He’s Gen Y.

      Not sure what age has to do with it. Or the number of terms.

      The answer is to primary fuckers like this with someone better. No matter how old they are.

      We give them the option to take what they have and cut ties with the rest. If they go out kicking and screaming, SEIZE IT ALL!

      This, especially for all the Republicunts with heavy ties in the current admin. Lay it out and give it to them like this. Look, we know for the last couple years during Trump, your finances have grown exponentially. Through wildly illegal means. So, it goes like this, you forfeit all of your ill gotten gains and walk away peacefully. We remove all the bullshit laws that were created and disperse the money towards the deficit and less fortunate. if you have one negative thing to say, just one! WE TAKE IT ALL! And you get to meet Mr. Guillotine!

      They wont. They will need to be dragged out kicking and screaming. Very few of them seem to be honorable or decent people.

    Chuck knows what she’s done and has cut ties. The writing is on the wall, she got too greedy and stole such a gigantic pile of money that not even Schumer can defend her.

    She’s been in office for eight years and is now a multi-millionaire on less than 200k a year. Fancy that. Not even Chuck can ignore that level of corruption. And that’s saying something.

      You have no idea what you’re talking about. This, “investigation,” is outwardly about fraud on her childhood immigration documents, and in reality an attempt by Trump to denaturalize a political opponent. It has nothing to do with imaginary embezzlement.

      Also, Schumer has never defended her. He’s a hard-core Zionist and she’s a critic of Israel. He’s called her antisemitic in the past for criticizing AIPAC. He and Pelosi hung her out to dry on multiple occasions; he hasn’t suddenly, “cut ties,” because of, “what she’s done.”

      Her net worth is high because she’s married to a hedge fund manager. If you think politicians and their families shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks, fair enough, but it’s (infamously) not illegal, and completely unrelated to what’s beijg done to Omar right now.

    Since he explicitly said that his job is “too keep the left pro-Israel,” his silence is perfectly in line with his job description.
