I dedicate this particular thread to Chuck Schumer, professional Wall Street and AIPAC puppet, and coward in the face of the worst Republican administration since George W. Bush. There is a good reason for that which I will get to momentarily.
There seems to be a pattern with Mr. Schumer in that he doesn't do anything to make sure the Democrats actually oppose Donald Trump like they should at every turn. Take fast tracking 15 lifetime appointment conservative judges so Democrats can go home. huffingtonpost.com/entry/senate-d…
It could have something to do with how Donald Trump used to donate to Chuck Schumer all the time, along with Trump's family, even holding campaign fundraisers for him at Mar A Lago. opensecrets.org/news/2017/09/t…
Throughout his entire career, he easily takes one of the highest rates of money from Wall Street, the top donations coming from Goldman Sachs, also at a time when Steve Mnuchin worked there. opensecrets.org/members-of-con…
Here he is praising Donald Trump on The Apprentice in 2006. m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58…
Not opposing the Trump administration or his cabinet picks will be a reoccurring theme of this thread, like not actually fighting the confirmation of Gina Haspel, or Mike Pompeo. commondreams.org/news/2018/03/1…
Unsurprisingly, he is against some of the same things that Donald Trump is. He even wrote an article on Medium speaking out against the Iran nuclear deal. medium.com/@SenSchumer/my…
Heres a few more people that Chuck Schumer helped to confirm like John Kelly and James Mattis. RIP The Village Voice. villagevoice.com/2017/01/24/chu…
Also the answer is NO Village Voice, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi will cave to Republicans like they always do and offer to build a wall in order to help DACA recipients, recipients of which, they also caved on. villagevoice.com/2016/12/29/tru…
Who's this guy you ask, well this is Stephen Solarz. Wikipedia names him as Chuck Schumers mentor. Just to give you an idea of what he was like, "In 1998 he led a group of neoconservatives urging President Bill Clinton to overthrow Saddam Hussein." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_S…
It's almost like the Neo Cons have a consistent plan that they have been trying to implement for years like in Iraq, and Syria, and Libya, and now Iran.
@ggreenwald wrote an article back in 2010 wrote an article in Salon about "the heir apparent to Harry Reid justifies the "economic strangling" of Gazans. salon.com/2010/06/12/sch…
7 years later he was writing about Chuck Schumer being one of the Democrats that had gotten behind the anti BDS bill pushed by AIPAC aiming to criminalize protesters. theintercept.com/2017/07/19/u-s…
"We must convince Americans that government can be on their side and is not just a tool of special interests,” is pretty funny coming from the king of corporate Democrats. jacobinmag.com/2016/11/chuck-…
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi was more upset that Maxine Waters called for fascists to be confronted in public than they were at families getting separated or DACA being ended for that matter. #AbolishICE truthdig.com/articles/to-he…
Real quick, here's a list of companies making money from ICE or have contracts from them in your area. readsludge.com/2018/07/06/who…
Chuck Schumer of course, doesn't support people that uncover crimes that the government commits on it's own citizens, like Edward Snowden. Realitistically, I bet this is when Democrats started blaming Russia for their woes. businessinsider.com/chuck-schumer-…
Hey shout out to all you #Resistance people that see this and have fallen way too hard for propaganda. Everything you know is a farce.
You see, the Democrats laid out much of the horrible things the Trump administration is doing right now. Take the NDAA of 2011 which Chuck Schumer helped to pass. forbes.com/sites/erikkain…
"It would place domestic terror investigations and interrogations into the hands of the military and which would open the door for trial-free, indefinite detention of anyone, including American citizens, so long as the government calls them terrorists."
Speaking of horrible legislation, the 1994 Crime Bill which exploded the prison population, was molded in part by Chuck Schumer. articles.latimes.com/1994-04-12/new…
He was one of those "tough on crime" Democrats which is a code word for "I'm secretly a Republican". Don't take my word for it, go ask someone else who used the same phrase like Kamala Harris. nytimes.com/1998/09/25/nyr…
The only people that have anything nice to say about Chuck Schumer apparently pull a Nancy Pelosi and the first thing they point to is he is good at fundraising. observer.com/2015/05/charle…
The Koch brothers were not a purely Republican phenomenon, they have also done some donating to Democrats in the past, including Chuck Schumer. politico.com/story/2014/03/…
This piece of artwork is by @ProgActNet and @StirlingArt. As it points out, Chuck Schumer voted for the Iraq War and the Patriot Act.
The precursor to the Patriot Act was the Omnibus Counter Terrorism Act of 1995 which Chuck Schumer sponsored after the Oklahoma City bombing. nytimes.com/1995/04/21/us/…
"The part of the bill that has attracted the greatest opposition is its provision to allow the Government to use evidence from secret sources in deportation proceedings for aliens suspected of terrorist involvement."
"Under the measure, the Government would not have to disclose the source of damaging information to the person whom it is seeking to deport."
The Intercept has put together a bit of a list as well because Chuck Schumer is the worst possible leader on foreign policy in the Democratic party. theintercept.com/2018/05/21/chu…
Unsurprisingly, Chuck Schumer helped in bailing out the banks on the backs of workers during the financial crash starting in 2007, all while taking in a nice payoff from the same bankers. politico.com/story/2009/09/…
In another article demonstrating that the leader of the Democrats doesnt actually oppose the Trump administration, all you have to do is look at this party in the Hamptons. Jared and Ivanka Trump partying it up with the Koch brothers and Chuck Schumer. nypost.com/2017/07/10/why…
It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club.
Chuck Schumer voted to gut Glass Steagal which ended up crashing the economy within a decade. I'm sure he benefitted both times from Wall Street donations. The official name for this is the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act by the way. senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Apparently Schumer knows everyone in the financial community, as it is based in New York, on a first name basis. cnn.com/2015/03/27/pol…
On a side note, he is pushing for a Senate building to be named after John McCain. Personally I think it would be more fitting for that bomb that got dropped on a school bus in Yemen to be named after McCain. It's what Lockheed Martin would've wanted. cnn.com/2018/08/25/pol…
Chuck Schumer voted for the Telecommunications Act of 1996. That act is the reason our media is horrible, beating the drums for war simulataneously, and give us horrible presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll0…
Here is how power is concentrated in the media. swprs.files.wordpress.com/2017/08/cfr-me…
These protestors have the right idea. By the way the best way to fight these people isn't electorally, it is through mass civil disobedience. nypost.com/2017/01/31/tho…
"A vote against John Bolton is a vote against Israel." - Chuck Schumer, 2005. You know. The neo con war criminal. cnn.com/2018/09/10/pol…
I will leave this off for now with this weather forecast from @TheOnion.
CNN caught Chuck Schumer on a hot mic saying "Trump likes me".
Anytime you hear Chuck Schumer say that he is a progressive, or that he supports progressives, it is a lie. nypost.com/2018/09/03/sch…
He did the same thing for Joe Crowley over @Ocasio2018. crowleyforcongress.com/?page_id=862

Well I said I would make a thread about Elizabeth Warren, who is another possible presidential contender I continue to see getting brought up so let's get started.
Like most of my other threads, she can be linked back to a NYTimes article celebrating legalized bribery and "blitzing the New York money circuit".
She is supposedly the 2nd most progressive member of Congress, with Bernie Sanders being the first, and while she does good things like rail against banks all the time like everyone should be doing, she also votes to give Donald Trump $700 billion for war. leftvoice.org/Elizabeth-Warr…

Democratic Donors still think they can anoint rising stars in the Hamptons. amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The SF Chronicle asks "Why does Kamala Harris defend the death penalty?" sfchronicle.com/opinion/articl…
In this article from the Washington Blade, she sought to block trans reassignment surgery for an inmate back in 2015. Seems a little off for a champion of LGBT rights. washingtonblade.com/2015/05/05/har…

On top of the other threads I have going for supposed 2020 candidates, Joe Kennedy, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Deval Patrick so far, the DNC has announced that it will be holding the 2020 convention July 13th-16th. politi.co/2yhnw62 via @politico
If you follow this post back, you'll find my other threads about Joe Kennedy, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Deval Patrick so far, all leading to an article by the NYTimes that makes legalized bribery sound normal.
I can foresee a lot of bullshit being pulled by the Democrats in the future. Vanity Fair even states that their literal strategy is "don't rock the boat with too much progressivism". vanityfair.com/news/2018/06/o…

Building upon my other threads about Joe Biden and Deval Patrick, I will make one for Kamala Harris as well, a cop, and a #ProgressiveInNameOnly or as Peter Douche puts it, she speaks in #HopeAndWordsAndStuff.
If you need an idea about what I'm talking about, all you have to do is visit her Twitter feed.
This is an obligatory link between threads that goes to an article from the New York Times celebrating our absolute corruption and legalized bribery, Joe Biden and Deval Patrick included.
