Old School Schumer's Time Has Come

Posted by Maestro on 4/11/2026, 8:32 am

Why is Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refusing to see the handwriting on the wall? Voters want change, not the business-as- usual gang that led to four more years of Trumpism.

Check out how his latest recruit, Janet Mills, is doing in the Senate race in Maine against progressive, non-establishment Graham Platner. Both public and private polls show Platner trouncing Mills.

Chuck Schumer's time passed a long time ago yet he has an agenda much greater than American & Democratic party politics.

For the same reason he didn't endorse Mamdani, he's not gonna support Platner even though his preferred candidate, Janet Mills, is flopping.

If and when Schumer calls it quits, his political clone, Hakeem Jeffries, is in line to continue the Democratic party establishments bad habits. Without Schumer, Jeffries wouldn't be House Minority leader or leader of the Democratic Caucus.

Here is Chuck Schumer in his own words:
"MY JOB IS TO KEEP THE LEFT PRO-ISRAEL." [10.25]

And since Graham Platner is a huge critic of Israel, don't expect Schumer to endorse him!

Without Schumer, Trump wouldn't be president!

Black politics: James Clyburn seeks reelection at 85 yrs old...

SMDH...

Of course Clyburn will run again..
And with lots of corporate(tobacco) & pro-Israel lobby money he'll probably win..
But what about his Black constituents? Nothing much there! It still remains underserved and near the bottom in terms of education etc..

Guys like James Clyburn make sure aspiring young Black politicians are blocked, stifled, suppressed, discouraged and roadblocked, every step of the way..
Such is the state of Black politics today😠!!
