Schumer to Slow Trump Justice Dept. Nominees Over Qatari Jet
Schumer to Slow Trump Justice Dept. Nominees Over Qatari Jet
For the most part, nominees aren't subject to filibuster; the most that the Democrats can do is to slow the pace of approvals to a crawl, which they should have been doing from day 1. Next best time to do it for every nominee is today.
It would have been nice if he'd already been slowing the nominees over their lack of qualifications and their fascist ideologies.
Fascism will surely be defeated by "slowing the nomination process". Well, I guess it's something. Sigh.
At least he's stopped happily voting for it.
He's talked big and caved before.
If the midterms were held tomorrow I think the GOP would lose their majority (in at least one chamber). They need time to implement policies and rules that will either make voting harder or outright pointless (state legislators have floated the idea of straight up overriding the votes of their citizens). They have lots of time to fuck shit up, but they need that time all the same.

I dunno. I bet democrats could find a way to fuck things up between now and tomorrow.
Would he act this way if the plane was offered by e.g. Taiwan Israel?
A bribe is a bribe is a bribe, even if we can only see one of the quid and the quo.
No, I mean, because it's given by Qatar and he's israel's paladin. Maybe this one finally got him suspicious
This was the final straw for him? Really??
My exact thought. I can not stand the current Democratic Party. They are deporting and imprisoning American citizens without due process and the straw that broke the camels back is a fucking jet.
I'm sure it benefits Israel in some way or he wouldn't be doing it at all.
Maybe he wanted that jet lol
Strongly worded letter to follow.
With FOUR tough questions this time.
Feckless Schumer
Let's not get this confused, he is doing this now because Trump negotiated a hostage release and undercut Israel in the negotiation. It couldn't be more obvious unless he said "the only acceptable course of action is to sell the plane and send the money to Israel for weapons"
Thanks for finally doing the right thing five months late. Not really promising, but if you at least arent lying about this that'll be one good thing this congress has done in their lives.
Will it be a yet another strongly worded letter?
Ground Chuck, it's a little too late to curry favor.
Not stop them or anything useful... just slow them; maybe keep them out of the news cycle entirely.
There aren't enough Democrats in the Senate to actually stop them. Just slow things down so much that the Republicans need to pick and choose which ones they care enough to push through.
But how will This Help with the Democratic Plan of Do Nothing And Let People Suffer?
