After Losing the Senate, Chuck Schumer Now Wants Unity In a Bipartisan Senate (I can’t stop laughing!)

The last person in the world who should not be in power is Chuck Schumer. Over the past four years, Schumer has acted like a dictator. If the Republicans are smart, they can do many things for the benefit of the country. One of the first things they need to do is conduct a study of every voter roll to make sure they follow current US law that demands states clean up their voter rolls.

While they are at it they need to prosecute any elected official who tries to block their agenda. Cleaning up the voter rules would prevent Democrats who use the rolls to manufacture votes and force states to verify all applications in order to vote to make sure illegal aliens do not get approved to vote. And once again, prosecute anyone who refuses to cooperate. The only way to stop them is to lock them up.

But let’s be bipartisan and bring back two bills the Democrats couldn’t pass. The first bill would increase the size of the Supreme Court to thirteen. But add an amendment that stipulates that any increase to the court would require a supermajority of sixty-seven percent in both houses. If they can do it, President Trump would select the new four justices, giving conservatives a majority by ten to seven. If that fails, propose a stand-alone bill that would keep just nine justices with the same supermajority.

The second bill they proposed was to end the filibuster. This would streamline President Trump’s agenda. They can easily pass a bill later that would bring back the filibuster also with the stipulation that removing the filibuster would require a supermajority. That should make Schumer happy. So far Republicans will have a fifty-three majority in the Senate.

Schumer said: “As we await the final tallies in elections across the country, Senate Democrats remain committed to our values and to working with our Republican colleagues to deliver for the American people.”

He followed up with another tweet: “As I’ve said time and again, in both the majority and the minority, the only way to get things done in the Senate is through bipartisan legislation while maintaining our principles — and the next two years will be no different.”

But what is Schumer’s history on bipartisanship?

From The Daily Wire:

Schumer speaking of bipartisanship and “principles” is ironic considering his penchant for disdain toward Republicans. As recently as September, he indicated he would not permit the Senate to even consider a short-term spending measure wedded to an election integrity bill proposed by the House GOP. “As I have said before, the only way to get things done is in a bipartisan way,” Schumer said. “Despite Republican bluster, that is how we’ve handled every funding bill in the past, and this time should be no exception. We will not let poison pills or Republican extremism put funding for critical programs at risk.”

Schumer attacked House Speaker Mike Johnson, accusing him of being partisan as the House passed the SAVE Act, stating, “If Speaker Johnson drives House Republicans down this highly partisan path, the odds of a shutdown go way up.” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) fired back that Schumer “thinks that preventing illegal immigrants from voting is ‘Republican extremism.’ That means that every Democrat supports allowing illegal immigrants to vote. This is insane, a threat to democracy and must be fixed by passing the SAVE Act.”

In November 2023, the month after the Hamas massacre of over 1200 Israelis, Schumer announced that the Democrat-controlled Senate would not consider the GOP-controlled House’s proposal to send aid to Israel that would offset the costs by cutting the same funds allotted to the Internal Revenue Service. “Let me be clear: The Senate will not take up the House GOP’s deeply flawed proposal,” Schumer said on X. “Instead we will work on our own bipartisan emergency aid package that includes funding for aid to Israel, Ukraine, humanitarian aid including for Gaza, and competition with the Chinese Government.”

Schumer blustered that the GOP proposal “balloons the federal deficit by billions.” Johnson retorted, “Only in Washington when you cut spending do they call it an increase in the deficit.”

In September 2022, Schumer cursed Republicans who opposed President Biden’s White House’s student debt forgiveness plan. “Those damn Republicans!” Schumer raged. “They are bellyaching, you know, when anyone helps regular people. When they give tax cuts to the rich, they say they’re helping the middle class. When we help the middle class, they say we’re helping the rich.”

“They only want to help the rich,” Schumer continued. “The reason they don’t like this … this might mean their rich friends might have to pay a little more in taxes. Disgraceful, disgraceful, disgraceful.”

In January 2022, Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) blasted Schumer’s (D-NY) plan to change the chamber’s rules, arguing the effort is “a threat to our Republic.”

Schumer is now a toothless lion. I hope Republicans practice bipartisanship just like Schumer did.
