    Dereliction of duty in such a high office is horrible.

    Moreover, enabling genocide is unacceptable.

    And this is what AIPAC Chuck Schumer will be remembered for.

        Haven’t you heard? Treason is acceptable now. You are allowed to commit treason if you have a solid, selfish reason for it. Selling out your country for a lot of money is at the top of the list of acceptable reasons for Treason.

    why are the needs of the citizens of another country more important than the needs of the citizens of his own country?

          Doesn’t matter the citizenship of the assholes. They want to prop up the defense industry with more contracts and protect other financial interests of the wealthy. Its a class thing not a nationality/ethnic/religious thing.

          His own made up middle class reactionaries don’t even support him. He’s playing to the imaginary middle, that even in his imagination are supporting republicans. Meanwhile spiting the actual left they can’t win elections without, as well as the half of the population that doesn’t vote because there are no good options and because all they will get are people like schumer perenially shaming them for not pretending they aren’t doing a fine job to justify the leaders’ losses.

      The number AIPAC pays him actually doesn’t mean much because Schumer is so central to their operations that they would pay him literally whatever be needed to stay in power. 1.7M is just what it cost to keep him in power. They would gladly give him 20M if that’s what it took.

    Senile self-satisfied old fuck needs to be forcibly removed. But who knows who they’d actually replace him with because it’d probably be another pro-Israel democrat who thinks Amazon deserves more tax breaks and that ICE isn’t that bad.

    Of all the things, funding another fucking country that already has universal health care is absolutely NOT your fucking job, asshole.

    I’m sure many Israelis look over here at clueless marks funding them and their lifestyle of apartheid and murder and just laugh at us…

    It is LONG past time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck and Jeffries to get the hook, and be dragged off stage.

    Then we can kick their asses in the alley out back, the fucking treasonous losers.

    Make Treason punishable by death again!

    Treason- The betrayal of allegiance toward one’s own country, especially by committing hostile acts against it or aiding its enemies in committing such acts.

    Definition: In Article III, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, treason is specifically limited to levying war against the U.S., or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.[1]

    Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death,[34][35] or not less than five years’ imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.[36]

    We should bring everyone on this list up on charges https://www.trackaipac.com/congress

        Let’s start with the people actually currently holding power. They will be sentenced in proportion to their crimes against the American people and then be sent to the hauge to be sentenced for their war crimes against the citizens of Gaza

      The vote shamers hard at work. Try getting a good candidate to begin with and they will shout you down, but after they have their guy the other guy is worse and it’s your fault when they lose because you didn’t believe hard enough, didn’t pretend they were doing a good job.
