    “Why does Schumer keep trying to cave?”

    How will we ever find the answer to this complicated question? I mean, if you just assume that he’s compromised trash, and barely better than his GOP colleagues, then everything would be explained, but that obviously can’t be the solution.

      barely better than his GOP colleagues

      His GOP colleagues are trying to send anyone who’s Mexican to a prison camp and make it illegal to oppose them.

      Schumer is a bunch of dog shit smirking in a suit all hunched over like Igor, but they’re not in the same ballpark in terms of the damage they’re doing.
