    Or to put it more accurately:

    “Schumer postpones book tour because nobody’s going to show up to give his duplicitous ass the fawning attention he demands.”

    Edit: Some of you seem to have reading comprehension problems.

      Trust me, attendance would be through the roof. It’s just going to be 95% angry protesters.

      Oh, I think a lot of people would show up. They’re just people he doesn’t want to talk to.

      After Friday’s vote he might have a better luck to do book signing in MAGA counties.

      Fucking coward. Let’s also not forget about other 9:

    “I got mine” by Chuck Schumer was going to be a hit too. Maybe he’ll tour when his follow-up “The Art of Rolling Over” releases.

    Would be shame if people went to his book tour just to make fun of him. Or to call him a bitch or just to heckle him in general

        And? Unless they only allow in prevetted people, than they have to continually toss out anyone who speaks up. We need to return to making politicians be afraid to show their dumb faces after screwing over their constituents

          They already are afraid to show their dumb faces to their constituents. The problem is that the constituents don’t have the power to actually do anything. The only thing that constituents have left is violence. And yes, that’s exactly what the GOP is doing. But at that point, it almost becomes a pyrrhic victory. Our elections will be decided not by the votes but by whichever side has the most thugs willing to commit the most violence.
