    They’ve been warned, and if what we are doing and are going to do to #ChickenHawkSchumer isn’t enough of a clue then they’re brain dead ….

    #DumpSchumer currently trending … keep it that way ….

    But, for certain, we must make #PrimarySchumer a reality and then do everything it takes to defeat the #WarMonger …

          Well wouldn’t it had been nice if Chuck Schumer had said what Sen. Bernie Sanders said, “The test of a great nation is not how many wars it can engage in, but how it can resolve international conflicts in a peaceful manner”. Hear that Chuck Schumer.

      Bob, this is the email that I sent to my senators Boxer and Feinstein,

      Senator,
      I am quite dismayed at Sen. Schumer’s decision to bow to pressure from Israel PM and vote No on the IranDeal, and as a result of this, I, a California voter, am asking you and other Democrats to NOT vote Sen. Schumer as our next Senate Democratic leader.

          They always do that to me! Then Malia says she thought I was traveling with PBO and FLOTUS. By the time I get back to their car they’ve pulled off. Then they’ll call me and apologize but I can never quite hear them over the laughter in the background.

    Gotta keep the payback coming on Schumer. He needs to be an example for any other potential asshole traitors. That first tweet up there about Biden running. Is that inside info or wishful thinking? Every now and then I check the polls for individual pairings with Dem and GOP candidates. I had made the assumption that Hillary would have better numbers because she is in the race, etc. However, Biden, even though he hasn’t declared has about as good numbers as Hillary in most of the pairings. I would assume he knows that, and maybe has conducted his own private polls. Anyway, if he gets in, he probably will start on an even footing with Hillary in terms of electability.

    • 49 Bobfr (@Our4thEstate)
      August 7, 2025 at 6:57 pm

      You better believe, Bill, that the big data analytical machine that is the Obama WH is enabling VP Biden to have the best ‘internals’ of any VP ever to consider a run for the Presidency :)

      “Anyway, if he gets in, he probably will start on an even footing with Hillary in terms of electability.” YUP (at a minimum since he’s got sooooo much less baggage).

      • 54 Bobfr (@Our4thEstate)
        August 7, 2025 at 7:05 pm

        Haven’t heard any comments about Schumer, Bill, but Bernie announced his support of the #IranDeal, in equivocal terms, a couple hours ago.

        Doubt Ms Triangulation has any appetite for chastising #ChickenHawkSchumer …

          August 7, 2025 at 7:09 pm

          She doesn’t even have to. Just back the deal. Oh but then that would make Bibi made. What was I thinking?

          • 56 Bobfr (@Our4thEstate)
            August 7, 2025 at 7:20 pm

            She has actually expressed her support for the deal, very shortly after the negotiations were complete, DerBingle. Harped on ‘implementation verification’ as if wasn’t the keystone of the entire deal, but nonetheless supported it.

            Will she waver; that’s like asking if water is wet.

    Why do some elected officials keep making the same horrible decisions???

    anyone who is forward-looking can see that a no vote on the #IranDeal is going to become a political abattoirs around your neck.

    If you have paid even the slightest attention to the trends in the Middle East, you would know that throwing your fate in with Bibi is dangerous and unsustainable for the future of Israel

      August 7, 2025 at 7:22 pm

      All true, Linda. All true. But, the answer to your question is that in their mind, and in the minds of the war hungry kleptocrats who control them, they are always making the correct decision.

        August 7, 2025 at 7:32 pm

        Ok, time will prove them wrong as Iran sticks to its end of the deal.

        As for the rest of us, we continue to do what you have always asked us to do => #TrustBarack;

        I know that there is a significant number of people of Jewish Heritage in NY. But I thought the majority support #IranDeal;

        Given the demographics and political-leanings of NY, there is no chance that Schumer would have lost his election if he had just promised to vote yes on #IranDeal;

          August 7, 2025 at 7:42 pm

          He wasn’t thinking about them. Schumer was focused on that audience of one.

    I listened to David Ignatius and Bob Shields on PBS. Bob, of course, was very supportive of PO and the Iran Deal. Ignatius — what you would expect. Even said that PO’s speech was very weak and cynical and accusatory to anyone who was on the fence. Says it’s the total wrong deal blah, blah, blah, blah. Made we want to scream at the TV and yet also made me #TrustBarack even more. :) :) :) :) :) :)

    Outside of the US it seems the Iran deal is done & dusted. NOTHING in media in my part of the world puts it in any doubt - not even discussed. Main US news I’m seeing at the moment is Murdoch media (and others) trying to down ding Trump.

    I doubt that Chuck expected THIS level of push back.
    Forget the Senate leadership position, buddy. You’ll be lucky to be re-elected in NY. Yes, NY has lots of Jews. But most of them are Jews like me. We Love Our President and believe in him.

      The man who loves to hear self talk and be seen on TV is in hiding…….that is too good to be true. He voted for the Iraq war. He has said a couple of things against Palestinians that had that been said by another against him would have been termed anti-Semitic. He has made idiotic commentaries against ‘ObamaCare”. His blind spot for all things Lukid(s) and Netanyahu irrespective of his sworn oath, etc are just No Longer defensible.
      he has been in Congress for decades. he has earned enough benefits to quietly Retire, now.
      He was forgiven for the Iraq war after 9/11/01.
      This is for Peace. The Fool has forgotten that most Dems and 90-98% of Lefties loath war.
      Now, Chuck Schumer maybe too embarrassed to revise his No Vite pledge……..but one thing is for sure, He and many squeamish Dems are now made abundantly clear that War is Not and Never the answer by the vast majority of the Democratic Party.
