EXPEL THEM.

AND CHUCK SCHUMER

By Keith Olbermann

These eight are quislings, traitors, cowards, capitulators, collaborators, fakes, frauds, enablers, betrayers, failures, political prostitutes. Last night, eight senators, nominal Democrats, voted to fold without any pressure, without any bribe, without any anything. They voted to kick millions of Americans off Obamacare in order to reopen and fund the government to reopen it for only 3 months, mind you. So, we have to go through this again in exchange not for magic beans this time, but just for the promise of a vote in which they might get magic beans. A vote on the healthcare subsidies, which they will win if half a dozen Republicans defy Trump. A vote on magic beans, which they will lose.

Eight of them, six Democrats, the independent Angus King of Maine, who caucused with Democrats until last night apparently, and

John Federman. You cannot recall a senator in Pennsylvania. And anyway, that would not be enough for Federman. He should be institutionalized or worse, he should be sold on waivers to MAGA. His mind is that unsound. F you, Federman.

The other traitors whose careers in the Senate, in the Democratic Party, in public life must now end are Senator Dick Durban of Illinois, Senator Limp Dick Durban, never someone to sit around and fight when an opportunity would arise to give in.

Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, who in betraying America, had the nerve to say she was doing so to quote, "Make sure the government is functioning and continue the fight to a realistic platform to get the premium tax cuts done." If that is not successful, then shame on the Republican party and shame on Donald Trump. No, shame on you, Miss Hassan, you useless clown. Republicans do not feel shame. Trump has no human emotions. You have no intelligence. You have been played by shameless people who you think will feel shame. Get the f out.

Senator Jean Shaheen of New Hampshire, who for most of us, for the first time has made us realize that she and Maggie Hassan are not the same person. They might as well be. What do you say to your colleagues who say this isn't a fight, this is a capitulation? she was asked last night. She answers, "We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed date, which you imbecile, you are certain to lose. You traded a stalemate where the other side was beginning to crack for a total defeat. Get the f out of our party."

Senator Katherine Cortez Masto. It's our responsibility to work not only here amongst ourselves but across the aisle to solve these problems for the Americans. Make their lives a little bit easier. I gather Senator Cortez Masto; you've never actually been to the Senate or to Washington where there is no aisle. There's just a moat full of swamp creatures that Trump owns. And there is no problem solving to be done with the other side. The other side is just a series of for Trump. for Trump with which you are now attached.

Senator Jackie Rosen of Nevada. Quote, "Senate Republicans need to work with us in a bipartisan way before the next deadline." Unquote. I hate to break this to you, Senator Jackie, but they won't. You have deluded yourself. You have sold your constituents out. Your only honorable course is to resign your office today.

And lastly, there is Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, who has been essentially a zombie since he went through an entire presidential campaign without ever really noticing once that he was the vice-presidential nominee. Useless. At least he's consistent.

Counting Federman, there are seven nominal Democrats there and they need to be expelled from the party and those that mystically think they have a chance of retaining their seats must be primaried and defeated. Must be. These seven and Angus King are dead to us. They are not progressives. They are not pragmatists. They are not even moderates. They are simply gold-plated hot and cold running fools. Their careers must be ended now. Durban, Kain, Federman, Shaheen, Cortez, Masto, Hassan, Rosen, and King. Now done, forgotten. Let us hear their names no more.

And as to the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who voted against this bill, the rare occasion where he voted correctly, this bill will now sail through the House and give Trump what he wants and gut Obamacare. And then we get to do this all over again in February when the Republicans will have seen only Democratic weakness and how they can plow through these eight ghosts in the Democratic Senate caucus.

As to Chuck Schumer, minority leader who could not keep even half of these bereft, disingenuous, untrustworthy, useless, feckless Democratic Senate in line. Chuck Schumer's time in this role must come to an end. One of the responsibilities of Senate leadership is to make wandering members of your own party realize that it doesn't really matter where their principles might sit or what they think they're going to do with their careers, but they must realize at all times that no matter how good and just you may be, they must know that if they go to talk to the enemy in the middle of a war and cut a deal with the enemy, they are likely to be metaphorically shot in the back by you, the minority leader, which did not happen.

Sports and political journalist Keith Olbermann decided to let his racism show on Twitter.

The 64 year old tweeted “What a f**king idiot” in response to 20 year old LSU player Angel Reese pointing to her ring finger after winning the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship.
