Breitbart used the phrase, too, saying &#8220;You can trust Russians to be Russians&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2014\/07\/18\/you-can-trust-the-russians-to-be-russians\/\">Breitbart<\/a> in a column some years ago (hey, I only found it while trying to find the book.)<\/p>\n<p>But back to Chuckie, aka SEN Charles E. Schumer (D, NY), former majority and minority leader\u00a0 for whom we have Daniel Patrick Moynihan&#8217;s retirement to thank. Chuck likes to get right out in front, and serves as a reliable Democrat mouthpiece, no matter how much fiction the party (or should I say Party?) line is at that particular moment. But he seemingly has a new job: stand-up comedy.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"caas-body\">\n<p>Chuck Schumer denied on Sunday that his party misled the public about the extent of Joe Biden\u2019s decline as presidential insiders tell news publications that the lame-duck president still believes he could have won the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>Moderator Kristen Welker became the first of the DC press corps to put it to a member of Democratic leadership directly, asking the senator: \u201cWhat do you say to Americans who feel as though you and other top Democrats misled them about President Biden&#8217;s mental acuity?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, we didn&#8217;t,\u201d Schumer responded. \u201cLet&#8217;s look at President Biden. He&#8217;s had an amazing record. The legislation we passed, one of the most significant groups of legislation since the New Deal, since Lyndon Johnson&#8217;s Great Society. Putting in 235 judges \u2013 a record.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, technically he could be right &#8211; they lied, <span class=\"lozenge color-4\"><span class=\"syl\">deceived<\/span><\/span>, <span class=\"lozenge color-4\"><span class=\"syl\">fibbed, <\/span><\/span><span class=\"lozenge color-4\"><span class=\"syl\">fooled, <\/span><\/span><span class=\"lozenge color-4\"><span class=\"syl\">prevaricated, tricked, fabricated, misprepresented, duped, perjured, deluded, and a whole lot of other words, but maybe didn&#8217;t &#8220;misled&#8221; us.

Thank goodness that, while it was as sleazy, it was in the end as much a failure, as the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch on which it was evidently modeled.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The president will leave office this month having watched the Middle East descend into a staggeringly deadly conflict, with Israel\u2019s siege of Gaza having killed tens of thousands directly as well as through disease and starvation. Eastern Europe, where Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022 and continues to pressure other countries in the region, is in little better shape and now \u2014 thanks to the defeat of Democrats in the presidential election \u2014 faces the prospect of US military aid to Ukraine potentially coming to an end.<\/p>\n<p>His final days in office have been filled with foreign trips and a medal ceremony last week wherein the nation\u2019s highest civilian honor was given out to several icons of the Democratic political and donor class, including George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Jim Clyburn and Nancy Pelosi.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/chuck-schumer-denies-party-misled-174055614.html\">The Independent<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hey Chuck, try not to piss on our legs and swear it&#8217;s raining, eh?\u00a0 Bit too cold outside to get away with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, we always knew we could trust Chuck Schumer, right?\u00a0 Sorta reminds me of a book &hellip; <a title=\"Chuckie Pinocchio\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=165179\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Chuckie Pinocchio<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[472,478,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-165179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-democrats","category-none","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=165179"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":165200,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165179\/revisions\/165200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=165179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=165179"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=165179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
