I support crooked unions, crooked union votes, and employer and union pension trustees that make the January 6 club look like choir boys
The Teamsters the original American gangster union
Teamsters Local 707 Kevin mccaffrey president and pension trustee which invoke Schumer’s more often than a religious leader says mentions the holy one
The Wall Street journal gets the best of chuck while ignoring the antics of the teamsters cash and smash antics, a great robbery or trick at the expense of those like Kevin mccaffrey and the yrc pension trustees whose dirty deeds have been let go
Give chuck hell Wsj
Sen. Chuck Schumer Responds on the Filibuster
‘The Republican Party has radicalized against democracy.’

Your editorial criticizing Senate Democrats’ efforts to protect Americans’ right to vote empowers those who sought on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the results of a free and fair election (“Schumer’s Filibuster Stunt,” Review & Outlook, Jan. 4).
In the wake of former President Trump’s Big Lie, the Republican Party has radicalized against democracy. Nineteen states have passed 33 laws to make it harder to vote. Election workers have endured violent threats over the past year simply for doing their jobs. These are not isolated developments. They are born of the same antidemocratic poison of last year’s deadly insurrection, and they urgently require the Senate to pass legislation.
Yet Senate Republicans refuse to join Democrats even to debate voter protection bills. When Republicans block something as fundamental as access to the ballot box, it is clear that the Senate must be restored to the deliberative body it once was.
The editorial board opposes Senate Democrats’ efforts to protect our democracy on the notion that a 60-vote threshold must be maintained. You should explain, then, why you supported Senate Republicans when they jammed through three Supreme Court justices and massive tax giveaways for corporations on a 50-vote threshold. In 2017 the editorial board even dubbed Sen. Mitch McConnell’s vote to end the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees his “finest hour.” You should also explain why it is OK for Senate Republicans to try to gloss over the devastating effect of a disgraced former president’s attempts to hold on to power at any cost—a permanent blemish in our country’s democracy.
In a week when Mr. Trump endorsed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, another antidemocratic leader who has upended his country’s constitution and rewritten election laws to build his own power, the stakes could not be higher.
