44. MAGA fascism has been here before Comey's indictment and it will continue after Comey's indictment.

Time is a finite resource and I choose to spend mine on the many, many, many other victims of MAGA fascism. Comey is not entitled to my sympathy.

Even though Comey was one that helped usher in MAGA fascism, his indictment won't do one thing to bring about its end. So, no, I won't waste my time spending even one second feeling sorry for the guy.

Highlight:

So apparently Chuck Schumer still has not posted anything about the Comey indictment [View all] senseandsensibility Sep 27 OP

K&R spanone Sep 27 #1

Perhaps Schumer agrees with many on DU that Comey has a lot to answer for. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 27 #2

Not weird at all... paleotn Sep 27 #9

Yes we will senseandsensibility Sep 27 #13

Yeah all lies. choie Sep 27 #58

Not at all. Probably more like "Don't interrupt your opponent while they are making a mistake" Bernardo de La Paz Sep 27 #12

If Schumer is in no hurry to comment on the Comey indictment agingdem Sep 27 #22

Unlike Republicans who comment in public, Democrats could be accused bucolic_frolic Sep 27 #3

Should Hillary comment as well? newdeal2 Sep 27 #5

Hillary? senseandsensibility Sep 27 #7

Maybe his social media manager SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #10

Well, I know he's not particularly tech savvy senseandsensibility Sep 27 #11

So what? SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #15

I'm with you MorbidButterflyTat Sep 27 #46

Schumer is Jewish SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #50

I don't see "failure to post" as an issue. Raven123 Sep 27 #14

It shouldn't be an issue SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #25

You don't think any criticism choie Sep 27 #59

No SocialDemocrat61 Sep 28 #62

More than a distraction -- Comey investigated Epstein Ponietz Sep 27 #32

I disagree. Raven123 Sep 27 #39

Bloomberg news reporte that Schumer, Jefferiers, and. Other Congressional lostincalifornia Sep 27 #16

Yes they did senseandsensibility Sep 27 #17

Bloomberg News name-checked Schumer. Why are you saying he's "silent" ? Hekate Sep 27 #19

Well, if he has made a statement I will delete this. senseandsensibility Sep 27 #21

See post #16. Maybe they can get you a linky. Hekate Sep 27 #24

You are correct. He hasn't specifically referenced the Comey indictment. He made a general statment lostincalifornia Sep 27 #48

I appreciate your civil response senseandsensibility Sep 27 #49

We are both on the same side. If I am wrong, which I was, I am not going lostincalifornia Sep 27 #54

Yes, Jeffries appeared on MSNBC about an hour ago senseandsensibility Sep 27 #20

Then when he does, a desperately dramatic SCHUMER FINALLY BREAKS HIS SILENCE alarum bashing leadership. betsuni Sep 27 #23

Anyone reading this thread can see who used the words purity test senseandsensibility Sep 27 #35

Yes SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #36

There's no test in OP, let alone a purity one Ilikepurple Sep 27 #38

Yes there is SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #40

Assuming your conclusion in your premise then denigrating my understanding is not really an argument. Ilikepurple Sep 27 #53

I didn't have to denigrate your understanding SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #55

I think the point is that Trump and Republicans are the problem and OP wants our leadership to be more vocal? Ilikepurple Sep 27 #37

Thank you senseandsensibility Sep 27 #41

Still don't know what people expect them to do. Don't remember everyone hanging on Pelosi's every word waiting betsuni Sep 28 #60

It should be noted that SocialDemocrat61 Sep 29 #67

It's airhead trolling, goalposts moved and the game continues. No apologies. betsuni Sep 29 #68

Thank you! Emile Sep 29 #66

Turns out: As much as I dislike Comey, I dislike totalitarianism and Gestapo tactics MORE than Comey NeoTrajan Sep 27 #27

I feel bad for Comey SocialDemocrat61 Sep 27 #42

MAGA fascism has been here before Comey's indictment and it will continue after Comey's indictment. W_HAMILTON Sep 27 #44

You'll regret the judicial mechanism fostered and perfected on Comey when it's used on those other persons NeoTrajan Sep 27 #51

Bless your heart for thinking that Comey's indictment will have any impact one way or the other. W_HAMILTON Sep 27 #52

Agree. betsuni Sep 28 #61

It sounds like the case is weak. avebury Sep 27 #28

I don't understand all this concern over Schumer sheshe2 Sep 27 #30

I made an OP because I think it would be helpful for him to make a statement. senseandsensibility Sep 27 #34

Totally Agree, she... I try to avoid Cha Sep 28 #63

It most certainly is not what we need right now... sheshe2 Sep 28 #64

Of course SocialDemocrat61 Sep 28 #65

Fuck Comey. W_HAMILTON Sep 27 #43
