I agree, I despise Schumer..
I have never known UpChuckie to correct about anything.
Makes me smile when the census trims another seat from a Northeast state.
“The GOP political establishment appears to be onboard with using the IRS to suppress Tea Party organizations. Which probably explains why a special prosecutor hasn’t been appointed by the GOP majority in the House of Representatives.”
You’re correct, but the Congress can’t appoint a special prosecutor. The House or Senate, or both together can form investigating committees, and ask the justice department to appoint a special prosecutor or counsel but that’s it. That’s an executive function, not a legislative one.
Sorry, you're wrong. I'm a Republican, and I constantly advise the Democraps to go phuck themselves.
OK, Schmukie, I’m tired of you hiding behind lies. You should actually say what it is that you REALLY want: ALL who oppose you in “re-education” camps. C’mon, you chicken$hit, say it.
I. DARE. YOU.
“Makes me smile when the census trims another seat from a Northeast state.”
Same here. And I live in MA. In 1980 we had 14 electoral votes, that is, 12 reps and 2 senators. Now we have 11, 9 reps and 2 senators.
That’s progress! And I read recently that Florida will have a population equal to New York soon. The 2020 census should be interesting!
Leftists are never honest about their goals because they know they will be rejected.
Liberalism exposed is liberalism defeated.
I have a benchmark lib in my family, and to this day she vehemently denies that the democRat party is working toward a socialist society.
“Obamacare isn’t some secret attempt to control people”
To which I answered - you’re right, it’s no secret.
The Demonuts love this
This on instance Shumer actually admits that he does use the IRS to intimidate political enemies. If we are to be less intimidated now, why were to be intimidated before?
The purpose of the IRS isn’t to intimidate.
This fascist needs to be removed from power.
If you really want to “get the money out of politics” you first have to get the politicians out of every single aspect of our lives that they’re currently meddling in.
The more a politician tells you they care about you and want to “help” you, the more they want to control and bribe you.
The Dems are outraged because they are used to buying votes and believe that this will put them at a disadvantage. Besides, it will make the funneling of tax dollars into their campaigns more difficult to hide.
I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t know much about the 17th Amendment until Mark Levin made it a regular target of scorn.
I can see his point. It is a charter for a permanent, isolated political class in DC. Aphorisms about ‘the nation’s most exclusive club’ aside, it almost totally eliminates accountability and grants a power of incumbency that dwarfs even the presidency, especially given the 6-year term.
Levin’s state legislature plan is no doubt an uphill fight as he concedes but it’s made even tougher by direct election of senators. Imagine the power the states would (re)gain if their legislatures chose senators. And imagine the difference in the behavior, decisions and attitudes of McCain, Reid, Schumer, Alexander, et al.
If nothing else, the damage caused by the 17th Amendment shows the folly of eliminating the Electoral College. I note with great irony that the National Popular Vote (NPV) crowd have been all but mute during the Obama years.
I used to feel that way, but I no longer believe in disclosure. The Homo Mafia in California schooled me when they started picketing the homes of people who donated to the Prop Eight campaign.
They are. Totally.
