45. And instead of shaming Lutnick for politicizing the event -- as Lutnick would certainly have done to him
Fri Jan 23, 2026, 12:51 PM
Yesterday

were the shoe on the other foot:

Schumer credited the energy of the groundbreaking to collaboration across different parties and levels of government.

“We are working together seamlessly to make this happen,” Schumer said. “Because getting this done is not Democratic, it’s not Republican, it’s not Independent, it’s America, it’s Syracuse, it’s Orange.”


Sure, he took the high road. I'll give him that ... but the high road has gotten us not just nowhere, but backwards. These are uncommon times. We need uncommon solutions. We need fighters, not run of the mill "parliamentarians".

Schumer would have done better to just say something like: Biden did this, don't let the Republicans get away with lying to you.

Schumer's time has passed. He needs to go.
