Schumer also called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify before Congress and answer a number of questions related to the potential gift.

    It’s something, but I bet he’ll fold like a Lawnchair just like last time

      This might be an attempt to extract himself from that embarrassment, in which case he might not fold. On the other hand, it does raise the question of why he wasn’t doing it before now, and what else could he be doing and isn’t?

        He’s an embarrassment, no way around it. He’d have to do a full about-face on his enablement if he wanted to salvage his reputation at all, and I don’t see him doing that.

        That sounds like a chair so weak it snaps shut with me sitting in it.

    Israel is pissed off that Trump is making deals with Middle East countries……

    This is the only reason Schumer cares about this.

    It’s a bit late for attempted shows of strength, chucky cheese.

    Do you think Cory Booker is going to talk for a long time again?

    That’ll show them.
