Guys, you just don’t understand. His job, as he stated, is “to fight like hell for Israel.” This other stuff is just peanuts for him.

Even better, Trump takes the focus off Gaza, that’s a big win for Schumer.

Maybe he should join the Knesset if he cares more for Israel than the US.

It’s a conflict of interest for sure.

Not just Israel. He’s also here for the Baileys!

From Wikipedia:

Schumer has long claimed that his political decisions are guided by an imaginary middle-class couple, Joe and Eileen Bailey (initially O’Reilly), swing voters living in the Long Island suburb of Massapequa

Fuck those people. I’m from long island, I know people from Massapequa. They probably love ICE.

Specifically an imaginary couple who voted for Trump twice. His guiding imaginary couple are Republicans.

Maybe he needs to go be a politician in Israel then because I’d prefer that he “fight like hell” for America at the moment.
