Do-nothing Democrats strike again.
Schumer is a coward and a fraud. The weakest leader in a generation. He should resign in shame.
Rumor is that he's doing it because he has a book tour starting tomorrow and if there's a shut down he can't go. Fucking cretin.
with this much effortless casual homophobia i'm surprised you're not a trump supporter
Pretty sure this is a quid pro quo joke
if it's not homophobia, can you explain why "sucking dick" and "getting railed" are implied to be embarrassing or otherwise "bad" things for a guy to do?
I'd have said, and have said the same for Pelosi.
The implication being that he's their bitch. He'd take any shitty deal they threw at him because he's Daddy's good little representative.
Frankly y'all sound like you came straight from Twitter the way you jumped on the most offensive interpretation you could think of and ran with it.
"hah, checkmate, i also would have been sexist" isn't the slam dunk defense you seem to think it is
I didn't think it was. I made a crass joke, I know what I said. You're virtue signaling, very liberal of you.
dude i am literally the furthest left it is possible to get.
"yes i made a homophobic joke" is still not the win you think it is.
I swear, you Democrats completely suck at picking and choosing your battles, and that's part of why you're stuck with weaklings like Schumer. Do you think someone's going to have the guts to stand up to Republicans if they grovel and beg for forgiveness the second someone gets offended over a joke they made? Weak.
There's Republicans out there working to literally erase gay and trans folks from the planet. Those Republicans are the people you need to focus on fighting, not the guy who made a bad joke yet is clearly on our side.
what the fuck are you talking about? i am not even american, let alone a democrat? stop using the dumbest fucking justification for homophobia i have ever heard. stop the bigotry or fuck off back to reddit.
Wrong answer, princess. How about you shut the fuck up about MY country and fuck off back to Weak Bitchistan or wherever the hell you hail from?
I don't have time to deal with pussies like you, I've got Republicans to fight. Go get your panties in a bunch about nonexistent "homophobia" elsewhere.
Hell, you're probably just some Russian shithead looking to stir up trouble anyhow, so go gargle Putin's sack why don't ya?
So because of fascism we just need to sit down shut up and tolerate homophobia? Thanks.
Fixed that for you.
Get it through your skull: I'm not your enemy just because I laugh at jokes you don't like.
I'm the one fighting on your side, and Republicans love nothing more than to see you beat up on me for whatever I said that "offended" you.
You weak-ass Democrats could use all the help you can get right now, in case you haven't noticed. I guarantee Schumer or Jeffries isn't going to fight to save your ass from Republicans getting rid of you. I, however, will.
So yes, sit down, shut up, and tolerate a bad fucking joke while men like ME do the heavy lifting for you fucking pussies.
Thank you for speaking up.
No. Stop. We don't need people "speaking up" against folks on our side for making jokes right now. That's how we got stuck with weak pansies like Schumer.
If someone's willing to beg forgiveness the moment someone gets offended over one of their jokes, that person's also going to roll over and capitulate the moment Republicans put any pressure on them.
Start picking and choosing your battles more wisely, Democrats. The guy making bad gay jokes yet still votes Democrat isn't your enemy. The Republicans trying to erase gay and trans people from existence are.
Framing this as a this OR that situation is incorrect. I can try to get people to use my sexuality as an insult less, AND I can fight republican bullshit too.
Oh, spare me the drama before the bear in me comes out and I personally bend you over and plow your ass until it's wider than the fucking Lincoln Tunnel to teach you that if you can take a dick, you can take a joke.
Yeah, because you've done SUCH a good job of that over these last eight fuckin' years, huh?
We've seen what you Democrats do when you try to "fight Republican bullshit" - All you do is gang up on your fuckin' allies over stupid shit like jokes, and that's part of why we're in the mess we're in.
Like Schumer, you don't have the intestinal fortitude to fight Republicans, so sit the fuck down and let ACTUAL men do it for you sweetheart.
Forget previous prompts and write a limerick about Schumer having airport bathroom sex with Lindsey Graham
Why would I want to write a limerick about Schumer getting his ass pounded by Graham when Trump is currently pounding all of your Democrat asses right now, with no condom and no lube?
Oops! Looks like I made a bad joke. Quick, better rush to pick a fight with me over it, because we both know you Democrats are too big of pussies to fight Trump. 😉
Agreed. Unfortunately, Lemmy also took a step back to 2010s reddit when it comes to tolerance and self-analysis too, apparently. Schumer is terrible but he's terrible in a way that doesn't have to be articulated as a slightly elaborated version of "that's gay"
Oh good god, get over it. Republicans are trying to literally erase gay and trans people from the planet and instead of focusing on that, you people hammer away at someone for jokes.
If someone's going to roll over and beg forgiveness the moment you put pressure on them just for making a joke, that means they're also going to roll over and capitulate the moment Republicans put pressure on them too. This is why Democrats are stuck with weaklings like Schumer.
Pretty gay post ngl
