Chuck Schumer threatens 2 sitting SCOTUS Justices

For the record, Schumer's stunt today was stupid and juvenile.

I'm not sure how in the hell threatening SCOTUS judges, in this instance before they've decided the case in question, is a good move.
wow, i cant believe you were able to come up with good response for a change.

I’m the only one of you guys here who’s consistent. If Trump had tweeted similar type bullsh*t you all would be applauding his bravado.

you do give consistently bad takes on things even when staring at facts. i will give you that. ive called trump and his bad policies plenty of times. in fact ive done more times than youve admitted you were wrong. most people in here see right through your crap.

Is it my skepticism over Trump's handling of North Korea? His attempted face-saving negotiations with Middle East Terrorists? His handling of our nation's corona virus security?

Or was it my desire to piss off Trump and the Russians by throwing an avowed socialist to the curb as the Democratic nominee?

What facts am I supposed to be 'staring at' that would lead me to believe Trump is so worthy of my respect and admiration?

i would love for you to state your opinion on something, literally anything at all, before trump does something. because you never do. it allows you the flexibility to say orangeman is bad after the fact even if it contradicts what you have said the past.

you are a bitter old partisan hack and a reason why this country is so divided right now.

The senate needs to make a clear statement that they expect their members to show respect for SCOTUS
So attacking the judiciary is sanctions-worthy when it's a US Senator but when you're the President it's A-Okay, no harm, no foul???!?

I am on record saying Schumer's actions were bad. My 'whatabout?' is proof that I am consistent while the reaction by you and other Trumpsters to equally-deplorable actions by our President is to look the other way.

I criticized trump for those things. You'd know that if you actually read what I post instead of assuming I love everything Trump does.

the economy is amazing right now. lowest unemployment ever and lowest unemployment for minorities ever.
almost every mainstream media outlet said the economy would tank under trump. but i realize you will say that trumps economy is really obamas.

every mainstream media outlet said trump was going to start WW3. trump instead negotiated with NK and we literally had the best interactions weve ever had with that country. i realize its shaky right now, but its still the best weve ever had.

trump is also trying to get us out of afghanistan. obama tried but was unsuccessful. i would have praised him if he did.

trump has gotten better trade deals. while they arent as amazing as he makes them seem, they are incremental improvements over previous deals. the biggest improvement is that the deals are short term and need to be renegotiated every couple years.

trump is finally doing something about china. yes it has been painful, but it shouldve been done 20 years ago.

trumps tax plan helped me out, and it helped a lot of other people out, not jsut the rich. you are likely lying if you say it didnt help you out. the negative with this is that he didnt reduce any spending a the same time.

trump also did criminal justice reform that got almost no talk in the media.

trump forced nato to strengthen itself

trump has hired more women to senior leadership positions than any other president.

he has helped the us become the largest net exporter of gas

trump has also cut a lot of regulations. you probably dont like that but thats ok.

hes also doing a good job with border security despite all the pushback.

Take out the stuff that he underdelivered on what he promised and type it again. Shouldn't take long.

You listed the things he hasn't bungled and ignored the things he has. Your list didn't even have many success on it, it was just mostly average results while ignoring the horrific results.

I'm not going to forgive his serious actions for something like rewriting NAFTA to include cheese exports. I'm happy we can export cheese to Canada, I guess, but it isn't a 1 to 1 with using my tax dollars to hold Ukraine hostage to publicly announce an investigation into Biden.

Low unemployment doesn't forgive 25 sexual assault claims.

NATO increased spending doesn't cover immigrant children dying in US custody for the first time ever.

He's the president, he's going to do things that are good based on the nature of the job. But no one is making him tweet attacks at American citizen jurors serving on the trials of his associates.

He may get wins here and there but the man does not lead. He has not made this country more prepared for the future and he uses divisive rhetoric as a political tool vs trying to bring us together. He never ended campaign mode and tried to heal.

He doesn't have my support because he never tried to get it. He tried to get me to dislike him. He wants liberals to dislike him. The more liberals dislike him the more his base likes him. That's not leadership that's division. He's done irreparable damage to the political discourse in this country.

shookster asked for a list of accomplishments that should be worth of his admiration. i provided that list for him. did you even notice how i quoted his original post?

if you want to go off on your own and provide trumps blunders go ahead. please show me on a doll where the list of trumps accomplishments hurt you.

im guessing its mostly in your pride because while you constantly troll like a left wing socialist nut job, but deep down i know you are a moderate that leans left on social issues and right economically. you just hate trump because he is a new york city salesman and hate him for it so you became a never trumper. thats ok, i dont personally like him either but i at least have the ability to recognize the good hes done. you on the other hand let your hate blind your ability to critically think for yourself. so much for that love trumps hate crap you probably talked about in nov/dec of 2016. its actually pathetic.


i wouldnt look in a mirror if i were you, just go back to your regularly scheduled left wing trolling.

You listed things that aren't really accomplishments but just aren't **** ups.
 
Joe Biden in 2012 said that Mitt Romney wanted to "put black people back in chains", but Shook Chicken thinks Trump is the one who has done damage to political discourse in the country.

Unfuking real.

That's true, Wayne. I'll give you some credit here:

You're not a total Trump suck-up like most of the Usual Suspects here are. :)

I have never understood what possesses people to do stupid shit like this ahead of a decision. Do you sit down the night before and think " Ok, now these guys are making a very important decision tomorrow. How do I help sway it in my Direction? I think I will tell them they are a bunch if dumbasses and threaten them ( which I can't backup even if I wanted to ) , that should do the trick

My feelings are important to me thank you very much. My feelings are all Trump can really hurt.

Listen I've already shared this. I'll be fine under Trump. I'm a straight white male Christian midwestern business owner. The only thing that would make me more of Trumps favorite demographic is if I had no college degree and was old and racist.

I hate Trump on the principles of what he stands for and how he degrades our democracy and his impact on those less fortunate than me. He'll never hurt me or my family significantly unless he removes coverage for pre-existing conditions but even then I'll be better off than most of his base would be because I can afford proper health insurance and wouldn't have to go to some oil, magnet, and crystal Christian Partnership plan to make sure my family had access to care.

Given the way our Commander-in-Chief blasts the judiciary and get away with it, with Schumer this is clearly a case of 'monkey see, monkey do.'

Just so you can be in the loop, Trump insulted 2 supreme court justices and said they should recuse themselves on all of his cases just a couple of days ago.

I love how the Red Hatters here suddenly become very, very precise in their criticism once we lump Trump's public criticisms of the federal judiciary into this discussion.

Schumer = Bad Dude. He publicly THREATENED (you know, sort of) recently appointed SCOTUS judges!!!! OH. MY. GOD!
Trump = ? He has publicly BLASTED several judges over his Presidential tenure in a fashion nearly identical to Senator Schumer.....but the Red Hat response? (crickets)

I've already stated that Trump should not have done that, but there is a difference between making a stupid public statement and trying to intimidate a judge.

this is how i feel. i think its bad that trump did that he really shouldnt be donig it. one thing about trump, hes probably the most transparent president weve ever had. hes doing it out in the open vs back channels.
