Because putting people in prison is all about punishment for a crime. 🙄

He's such a shitty capitalist.

I really cannot fathom why people thought he'd do the right thing this time.
New York Times article. Political Memo; For Schumer, A War Chest That Reflects Wall Street By Raymond Hernandez Sept. 8, 2003 New York's senior senator, Charles E. Schumer, was playing up his blue-collar roots the other morning when he surrounded himself in the Capitol with union leaders representing Teamsters, pipe fitters, painters and other workers. ''My cousin is in that union!'' Mr. Schumer, a Democrat from Brooklyn who goes by Chuck, chimed in at one point during the news conference when someone mentioned the communications workers' union. But when it comes to campaign fund-raising, the senator turns to a decidedly different set of supporters, the kind that would make any Republican swoon: people on Wall Street and other players in the securities and banking industry. AOC Says Democrats Need New Leadership, Pelosi and Schumer ‘Need to Go’ Published Dec 16, 2020 at 08:41 PM EST By Daniel Villarreal On Wednesday, 31-year-old Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that the Democratic Party needs new congressional leadership. When asked whether current party leaders, 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and 70-year-old Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, need to go, she responded yes. After shutdown surrender, why should progressives ever trust Chuck Schumer again? January 29, 2018 Erich Pica Environmentalists take note. When Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took a stand against Merrick Garland, it lasted 293 days. When Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) took a stand for the Dreamers, it lasted less than 72 hours. How are progressives ever supposed to trust Chuck again? As word leaked out that Minority Leader Schumer was about to cut practically the same deal with McConnell along roughly that he had rejected on Friday, a grim reality set in. The Democrats were trading their only piece of leverage and all Dreamers were getting was an empty promise from the GOP. The Nation: Democrats Vote Down Public Option September 30, 2009 From The Nation By John Nichols Charles Dharapak/AP The healthcare reform debate such as it is has already provided more than enough disappointment for Americans who recognize the need for a thorough reordering of the way in which this nation meets the medical needs of its populace. But the hits just keep on coming. Indeed, there is good reason to believe the Congress is edging away from a healthcare reform debate and toward a far more limited discussion of insurance reform.

John Rocker said this in 1999 when asked if he'd play for the Yankees or Mets.
I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?

The Stooges hate these fascists, even when it was unpopular in the US to do so.
You Nazty Spy! satirized the Nazis and the Third Reich and helped publicize the Nazi threat in a period when the United States was still neutral about World War II and isolationist sentiment was prevalent among the public. During this period, isolationist senators such as Burton Wheeler and Gerald Nye objected to Hollywood films on grounds that they were anti-Nazi propaganda vehicles designed to mobilize the American public for war. The Hays code discouraged or prohibited many types of political and satirical messages in feature films, requiring that the history and prominent people of other countries must be portrayed "fairly". Short films such as those released by the Stooges were subject to less attention than feature films.

His policies are popular nationally. Any party where their goal is to win & enact policies that are beneficial to society wouldn't see his victory as a problem. Further adding to the idea that most Democrats don't want power, they want to a shield that prevents real change.

Democrats won't save us.

These people are pulling numbers out of their asses. As if this will get people to vote for Cuomo.

What's funny is... isn't this "good" for right wingers? It would allow other places to gain congressional seats. Oh... that's right. They're full of shit.

"Why did you pardon [Zhao]?

"Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt." -Trump

Translation: "Someone told me to do it, told me Biden wanted it, so I pardoned him."

Trump thinks this is an excuse.
