I think you also only consider half the job when evaluating Schumer as party leader; aside from herding cats, he plays a huge role in selecting the cats and getting fat cats to fund their election.

I think one could argue that the gambling industry should lose millions rather than millions of Americans lose their health care coverage, even though our insurance overlords have made even that a gamble.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

There is no grave for Hitler. Germany didn't want Nazis to worship him at his grave.
When our national nightmare is finally over, Trump shouldn't have a grave either.
And there shouldn't be a picture of him in the White House either. Images of Hitler are banned in Germany.

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

Did medieval peasants have more free time than you? No way! Think of all the eels they had to catch & prepare!
In 1290, villagers in Ramsey were responsible for taxes on 365,000 eels per year. 365k!
That takes a lot of time. Time *you* use in messing about on Twitter! 1/3
