Fresh-off the Democrats’ overwhelming impeachment loss in Congress earlier this month, Sen. Chuck Schumer set his sights on another anti-Trump obsession; labeling the White House’s latest budget proposal a “blueprint for destroying America.”
“If the State of the Union is what he says, the budget is what he does, and the two are from different planets,” said Schumer. “President Trump’s latest budget proposal is a blueprint for destroying America.”
“This budget is an insult,” said Speaker Pelosi. “It must be rejected.”

CHUCK DIGS IN: Schumer Says Dems 'FIRMLY Against the Wall,’ Calls for ‘Humanitarian Aid’
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer doubled-down on the Democrats’ flat-out refusal to budge on border security Friday; saying his party was “firmly against the wall” and future proposals should focus on “humanitarian aid.”
After Trump reopened the gov, Schumer says there will be no wall.
"Democrats are against the wall."
Says GOP will get funding to "humanitarian aide."
Exactly what GOP voter base wants, more humanitarian aide.
Schumer then says he hopes Trump has "learned a lesson."

“We in Congress will roll-up our sleeves and try and try to find some agreement on border security. We don’t agree on some specifics on border security. Democrats are firmly against the wall. But we agree on many things such as the need for drug inspection technology and humanitarian aid,” said Sen. Schumer.
“Today, the President will sign the bill to re-open the government… and hopefully it means a lesson learned for the White House,” he added.

'CAN'T MAKE THIS UP': Chuck Schumer’s Guest Booted from Impeachment Trial Over GPS Ankle Bracelet, Felony Charges
Chuck Schumer’s personal guest to attend the Senate’s ongoing Impeachment trial was removed Wednesday stemming from issues related to his electronic ankle bracelet and multiple felony charges.
“Scenes from the impeachment trial: Schumer invited Lev Parnas to be his personal guest today at the trial. Minutes ago, Parnas was ejected from the gallery…because he’s wearing an ankle bracelet mandated bc he’s a criminal defendant accused of serious felonies!” posted Sen. Ted Cruz on Twitter.

The best way to sum up this whole debacle is to understand that Senator Schumer’s desire for Lev Parnas to attend the Senate trial apparently cannot be accommodated because Mr. Parnas has an electronic ankle bracelet imposed upon him by the court. You can’t make this up.
