Chuck Schumer, who I consider to be a New York machine hack, actually said something today with which I agree.  As long as Cheeto Jesus is under investigation by the FBI, the Senate should hold on any consideration of his nominees, especially that of Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS.  Schumer said,

“There is a cloud now hanging over the head of the president, and while that’s happening, to have a lifetime appointment made by this president seems very unseemly and there ought to be a delay.”

This is rational.  After all, just consider the baying at the moon that Republicans would to doing if this was a Democratic president.

Am I regressing?

Schumer sent McConnell’s 2009 letter back to him, reversing sending and receiving parties.  LOL.

Chuck Schumer, whose useful time in the Senate has been past for some years, will be the new Minority Leader come January.  And if he gets his way, it will become the near permanent minority.  Though he hasn’t said a lot since his ascension to the position, reports are that he’s planning on cooperating  with Cheeto Jesus.  Apparently, Schumer has been comatose the last 8 years and missed Republicans’ vicious scorched earth strategy to stop every Obama initiative, even violating the provisions in the Constitution to steal a Supreme Court seat.  Working with CJ is not only a stupid strategy, it’s a loser.  It’s a fantasy to be implemented by an insider who’s had his head up his proverbial ass for decades (Sorry, Momma).  He’s doomed to fail, but the party’s too weak and inbred to see it, either.

Schumer is a terrible choice to lead the Senate Dems, living in a persistent fantasy world that legislative success will mysteriously equal protecting seats in 2018.  Only a person who lives in his own echo chamber believes such nonsense.  So, here we go again.  The Dems stupidly crowned Hillary as a  presidential candidate simply because it was “her turn”, resulting in an electoral disaster through simple negligence.  Now they’re going to do exactly the opposite of what the Republicans successfully did to stop President Obama and are actually going to work with the singularly most unqualified president in modern history. Instead of picking a fighter, they picked a deal maker.

God help us.
