So, it would appear, at least as far as things go in
the U.S. Senate, with the departure of ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid, and the selection of
Chuckie Schumer as the ‘new’ minority leaders for the Democrats, what we have
is a scenario that amounts to nothing more than out with the bad and in with
the just as bad, if not worse. And the
reason that I say that is because of Chuckie’s recent, and rather bold,
declaration that the Democrats will ONLY work with President-elect Donald Trump
if he “moves completely in our direction and abandons his Republican
colleagues.”
It was while appearing on the Communist News
Network, aka CNN, that Chuckie made his demand and it was also where he would
go on to say, “90-95 percent of the time we’ll be holding his feet to the fire
and holding him accountable.” And the
hilarious punchline came when Chuckie said, “But we’re Democrats. We’re not
just going to oppose things to oppose them.”
Really? So I guess we’re supposed
to suddenly believe that Democrats are somehow going to break with their
longstanding tradition and do more than to simply stonewall? Is there really a political advantage to
that?
Now of course, Chuckie’s statements stand in pretty
stark contrast to his recent Senate floor speech when he said the Democrats
would work with Trump “if the president-elect proposes legislation on issues
like infrastructure and trade and closing the carried interest loophole, for
instance, we’ll work in good faith to perfect and potentially enact it.” Chuckie seems to have had a change of heart. Which begs the question, was Chuckie not
paying any attention on November 8th, or is he another Democrat who
thinks that the popular vote ‘trumps’ the Electoral College?
Chuckie either fails to understand, or chooses to
ignore completely, the fact that not only did his team lose the most recent
presidential election, but over the course of the last eight years they have
also lost over 1000 state legislative seats, more than a few governorships,
lost control of the U.S. House as well as the Senate and now they have lost the
White House. All of which, you would
think, would make Chuckie at least appear to be just a bit more cautious about
making comments about how the Democrats plan is to be little more than a speedbump
for the next two years.
And then, it was on MSNBC that old Chuckie was heard
telling Rachel Maddow, on Tuesday, that he will fight “tooth and nail” to make
sure the vacancy on the Supreme Court stays open until a Democrat president
takes office. Chuckie said, “We are not
going to settle on a Supreme Court nominee.”
And he went on to say, “If they don’t nominate someone good, we’ll oppose
them tooth and nail.” And he added, “We
are not going to make it easy for them to pick a Supreme Court justice.” How arrogant?
Democrats still think they’re in control despite the fact that they…are
not.
Maddow pressed Chuckie, asking, “Is there an
argument to be made, that that was basically a stolen seat, so it isn’t theirs to
fill. In that case, no nominee would be legitimate because that seat should
have been filled by President Obama.”
Chuckie responded, “It’s hard for me to imagine a nominee that Donald
Trump would choose that would get Republican support that we could support.” And added, “So you’re right.” Maddow, seeking clarification, asked, “So you
will do your best to hold the seat open?”
Which prompted Chuckie to simply smile and say “absolutely.”
Such comments differ greatly from what he said
shortly after Justice Scalia’s passing.
Then Chuckie demanded Senate Republicans “do their job and give Judge
[Merrick] Garland the hearing and vote he deserves because the American people
deserve a fully functioning court.” He said,
“Having a deadlocked, 4-4 court could lead to judicial chaos surrounding
environmental protections, voting rights, and so many other issues that are
important to everyday Americans.” He
said, “This delay has gone on long enough. It’s time for the Senate to do the
job we were elected to do.”
In 2009 when Barry won and the Democrats controlled
Congress, Barry basically said, "Screw the Republicans and screw the
American People, I won so get over it!
Either you join us or you're out and if you DO join us you will sit in
the back of the bus and keep your mouth shut." And now in 2017 when the Republicans won, the
Democrats are still saying, "Screw the Republicans and screw the American
People. You may have won but you have to get OUR permission to do
anything. Either you join us or you're
out and if you DO join us you sit in the back of the bus and keep your mouth
shut."
This is the perfect example of the modern day, blatantly
tyrannical, and more than a little twisted, progressive mentality. Our soon to
be ex-president, Barry ‘O’, engages in the same tactic. He talks about negotiation, compromise and
comity but in reality he demands nothing less that than total and complete
capitulation from the opposition. Chuckie is but the latest leftist sociopath
loser making all manner of demands. There
is no reaching out, no give and take, and especially NO compromise. One cannot
debate and negotiate with these leftist lunatics.
In 2018 the Democrats will have 23 senate seats up
for re-election along with 2 independents who caucus with them. The Republicans
have just 8. Democrats whined for 8
years about how the right has opposed the classless, U.S. hating Barry! The low information voter bought every lie,
not knowing that every president has opposition, that's how the system works. Barry’s legacy is holding the record for
losing the most congressional seats of any president. The corrupt Clintons and the divisive Obamas
have decimated the left at every level and most clueless liberals don't even
know.
And regarding the Supreme Court, clearly, the
Democrats record on judicial nominees, at best, has been rather checkered.
"Borking" became a verb after the disgraceful treatment Judge Bork
received. Biden supported Clarence Thomas in private and then voted against him
in public. Republicans unfortunately take the position that a president should
be able to put his nominees on the court.
The nominations of Kagan & Sotomayer were based more on the gender of
the nominee than on whether they were actually qualified for the position.
Neither were vetted courtesy of the same lens had their political opposites come up against Democrat opposition. Republican senators, as is usually the case, lacked sufficient spine fearing media spotlight and shaming. With the Barry “Almighty” trainwreck, the media has lost considerable leverage. Trump must punch back hard, often and without hesitation in an effort to humiliate the Democrats every chance he gets. As Barry himself once said, "elections have consequences, and I won." So if Chuckie wants to obstruct, then maybe Trump needs to simply run over him.
