    My conspiracy theory is he is paid to be the sacrificial lamb, if it weren’t him it would be someone else. I am more angry at Schumer and then the rest of the Democrats for letting Schumer lead.

      Yeah this is a well known tactic in the US government. Backdoor dealings outline how to make a split vote and pick a fall guy to protect the party’s image.

      I.e. the Democrats failing to stop Trump’s war in Iran a few weeks ago where some random nobody was the fall guy that time. It looks like Democrats tried but failed and they can blame it on some inconsequential Rando who isn’t up for reelection

      The military industrial complex owns everything. The machine exists for their benefit.
