Would be shame if people went to his book tour just to make fun of him. Or to call him a bitch or just to heckle him in general

And? Unless they only allow in prevetted people, than they have to continually toss out anyone who speaks up. We need to return to making politicians be afraid to show their dumb faces after screwing over their constituents

Oh, I think a lot of people would show up. They're just people he doesn't want to talk to.

After Friday's vote he might have a better luck to do book signing in MAGA counties.

Fucking coward. Let's also not forget about other 9:

  • Dick Durbin of Illinois
  • Brian Schatz of Hawaii
  • Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada
  • John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
  • Gary Peters of Michigan
  • Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
  • Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire
  • Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
  • Angus King of Maine

Trust me, attendance would be through the roof. It’s just going to be 95% angry protesters.

"I got mine" by Chuck Schumer was going to be a hit too. Maybe he'll tour when his follow-up "The Art of Rolling Over" releases.

A fellow lemming made a comment the other day about this douche that has stuck with me.

The gist of it was that these old school politicians are used to playing the R-vs-D game for the public while they enrich themselves with their insider trading and conflicts of interest. Just don’t ruin the fun and embarrass the rest of us & draw scrutiny our way, and it will be a lucrative career, “serving” the American people.

And because of this, politicians like Schumer have actual financial crimes in their past for anybody driven enough to dig into them and ruin everybody’s fun.

I don’t know if this is actually true, but I’m sure Trump and his team know a thing or two about the effectiveness of kompromat.

Yeah, I assume it would have only taken a vague threat, but one that he knows they could and not importantly actually WOULD do something about.

Meanwhile people like Bernie and AOC are hitting up the mid-west and the southwest in his “fighting oligarchy” tour. Schumer is tone deaf to the time and a self righteous book tour ain’t the answer. Screenshot from a Bernie update a couple days ago.
