Progressive Groups Hit Schumer On Efforts To Block Kavanaugh Nomination
thehill.com ^ | 09/05/2018

Thirteen progressive groups have reportedly signed a letter criticizing Senate Minority Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) over his plan to defeat Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.

The letter, signed by organizations including CREDO Mobile, Indivisible, Democracy for America, and Daily Kos, argues that Schumer is "failing" to rally all members of the Senate Democratic caucus, particularly red-state Democrats, to resist Kavanaugh, according to Politico.

“Your job as Senate Democratic leader is to lead your caucus in complete opposition to Trump’s attempted Supreme Court takeover and to defend everyone threatened by a Trump Supreme Court,” the letter reads. “But unbelievably, nearly two dozen Democrats have still not come out against Kavanaugh.

"That is not the leadership we need," the groups continue. "You are failing us."

We can only hope they escalate things. Get them all excited, then hold the vote. Trigger them to death, literally.

I wonder if Schumer ever gets tired of his imbecilic supporters? Does he do the face palm in private when he sees messages like this?

Or is he as maniacally stupid as they are?

Yeah, after they used the Mensheviks to gain power, the Bolsheviks stood them up against a wall and shot them.

Gosh - Schumer has lied at every turn, pontificated with even more lies, and imported some goons to disrupt the process....what more can the poor guy do to satisfy them Commie groups?

Mr.Schumer is playing both sides of the Democrat party against its own legitimacy as a party. It's a six ways to Sunday surefire way to chaos and extinction.

Goodie.

I'm guessing it involves the personal use of deadly force against our side, in the hearing room itself.

These democRATS follow the fascist tactics of Hitler's beer halls and the Bolsheviks of the early 1900’s.

In a word? Yes.

Man, these people are weirdos. The Dem caucus is the MINORITY. Kavanaugh gets confirmed no matter what Schumer does. Even if he holds them all together.

That’s why the loud stunt yesterday. They don’t have the votes.

Don’t they get this?

Perpetual outrage and anger is exhausting in terms of resources, maintenance, and logistics. It also limits planning beyond each cycle of crisis on singular issues. The long game fails to ever materialize. The media becomes hooked on the low hanging fruit of the chaos like crack. The democrats just become life in a blender, unable to escape it’s confines.

And never doubt that the left in this country are Bolsheviks.

I’m afraid we are headed towards a shooting civil war.

It also makes them incredibly easy to manipulate. Trump has shown everyone how to do it. The amazing thing is that nobody else in the GOP seems to have caught on. CNN and MSNBC have their viewers believing that Trump will be marched out of the Oval Office in cuffs any second now. They keep this going 24/7.

If that DID occur, watch for the MSM to justify it.

You folks fail to understand that the democrats see Trump as an illegitimate president and Mueller is going to fix it.
They are stalling for Mueller to flip a few republicans to back the coup. They still see the path to reversing the last election as just around the corner.

Funny, I thought that the elected representatives and senators were there to act on the will of the people of their districts, not a bunch of far-left wackadoodles with bullhorns.

My mistake.

That describes the modern day Dims, to a tee. Doesn’t it?
