Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, you think Schumer has never called for someone to resign?
Rather than wait for you to lie, go ahead and read this
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/363682-schumer-called-met-with-franken-and-told-him-to-resign-report/
He didn't cause Al resign, and he won't cause Menendez to resign either. Menendez is going to try to hang on, and there is not much Schumer can do about it. I predict though, that he will resign in a couple of weeks.
What?
Franken resigned because party leadership (including Schumer) told him the only way he'd get an investigation to clear his name was to resign immediately.
After he resigned, they said there was no reason to investigate.
And you're changing the topic.
The article says Schumer hasn't called on him to resign.
You said Schumer wouldn't call for anyone to resign.
So I linked him kneecapping a rising progressive.
You don't have to keep replying if you can't defend Schumer, no one is asking you to, or wants you to for that matter.
Sigh. Gillibrand was trying to make a name for herself and get some power. She marshaled the women of the Senate aga8nst AL and called for an investigation into the workplace. Al, for his part, got tired of the BS and resigned. He could have fought it, and probably would have won, but it just wasn't worth it, I guess.
There's just no thread of logical consistency here...
We're talking about when Schumer calls for someone to resign.
You keep jumping to different topics.
And you're just flat out lying about what happened to Franken, or you have no idea what you're talking about.
Same result, gibberish
