Chuck Schumer continues to harp on “bipartisanship” in another “stern” warning to Republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson.

Just yesterday, Chuck urged Johnson not to repeat McCarthy’s “mistakes”.

We know, Schumer already cast caution to the wind a few days ago:

He hopes. He prays. Wait a minute. (The far-left prays?)

I say to Speaker Johnson – I plead with him – don’t repeat the mistake of McCarthy and others and just follow the hard-right in a partisan way. It’s not good for the country, it’s not good for the House, it’s not even good for the Republican Party. I hope he will change his ways.”-Chuck Schumer

We should have a "Night at the Oscars" for DC politicians. Whoever has the most overly dramatic spiel of doom and gloom wins.

And wait another minute, what ways, Chuck? He’s newly elected. He has ways, already?

Apparently, Mike Johnson does. Schumer noted that the House Republican aid package for Israel, which stands apart from the White House’s requested package leaves out humanitarian aid for Gaza and funds for Ukraine ($60 billion). Schumer has accused Johnson of taking a “purely partisan action” on his first legislative act, urging him not to be a “MAGA Mike”. It’s not “good” for the House. It’s not “good” for the country. Spoken like one was who thick as thieves with Nancy Pelosi as they carted out huge servings of pork over the years.

Johnson will address Senate Republicans today for the first time since he took over the top spot in the House. Still, ol’ Chuck just won’t quit:

Speaker Johnson should learn from the examples of Speaker Boehner, of Speaker Ryan and of Speaker McCarthy. If you try to let the hard-right run your caucus, it’s going to lead to real problems for you, your party, your House and your country.”-Chuck Schumer

Is that so, Chuck? And, it almost sounds as if the Senate Majority Leader is threatening the Speaker, if you ask me. Now, let’s really talk about what division and partisanship has done for our country, Mr. Schumer. Who, exactly, started this division and partisanship, again? Where did this mess begin? Surely, it was not with the Democrats in 2016, all they wanted to do was play nice with the Orange MAGA Man.

The swamp is on the run, MAGA is ascendant, and if you don’t think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement, and where the power of the Republican Party truly lies, then you’re not paying attention.”-Matt Gaetz

The swamp. Like, we’re going to actually take anything Matt The Clown Gaetz says seriously at this point? He sounds like some of the famous lefty harpies who say, Mike Johnson is an incel, (nods to Amanda Marcotte) this from our very own Toni. We’re going down a dark path, everybody. Mike Johnson is a (gasp) fundamentalist, right, Jen Psaki? Not only his he an Ince and a fundamentalist, he’s also “Christo-Facist”, according to The Daily Beast.

And this incel-fundalmentalist-Christo-facist is doling out poison pills. Beware of proposed legislation in the form of “poison pills”, according to Schumer:

Speaker Johnson, the new speaker, knows perfectly well that if you want to truly help Israel, you can’t propose partisan legislation that is full of poison pills.

You’re the poison pill.

Resign.

She’s not wrong. Glass houses and rocks. And, speaking of houses, or the House, what does Chuck have to do with this?

And, is Chuck Schumer indicating that trying fiscal responsibility for once is the “poison pill”? Translation: Stand Alone Bill is Chuck’s Schumer’s “poison pill”. Let’s look at these numbers ounce again. $30 billion is a lot of cheddar for Ukraine. That’s not counting the $75 billion already sent to Ukraine. Honestly, $14 billion to Israel sounds like a drop in the bucket. But Schumer is whining about this, kvetching that legislation for aid to Israel being a stand-alone is a “divisive, right-wing move”. The “poison pill”. So “divisive” and “MAGA” of Mike Johnson to pull this just a few days in.

My homeless camp has left wing policies written all over it

Dear Lord. I hope I am wrong, but Schumer’s words could very well be the foreshadowing of Democrats, once again, being unwilling to work with the Republicans-despite their “sincere” (cough) desire to do so. I mean, Chuck is begging and pleading and praying, for God’s sake. Translation: “bipartisanship” is code for “do what we want”, and everyone will be happy. Everyone except for We, The People, that is. We shall see later today what materializes.
