After denial comes anger, Chuck. Join us.
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”
Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

No.
"Resign, Chuck, and let someone who knows how to fight take your place."
Quoting Cromwell:
"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."

The problem with that slogan right now, however, is that it reads as tone deaf while everything is collapsing around us and those in charge are looting, cheating, and destroying everything. I'm no political strategist, but it feels like messaging should reflect that first.

As a result, “no ceiling” sounds much worse than “let them get richer”; it seems to say, “turn the page and forget all the ‘corruption’ stuff. Focus only on the kitchen table issues.”
