Here is something I learned in Alcoholics Anonymous: "Half measures availed us nothing." It is not enough to resist trump and his Gang of thugs, they must be roundly and soundly countered at every turn. This is no time to be a summer soldier and a sunshine patriot. Get real, because we are in real trouble, and losing means we become the successor to Nazi Germany.

Was dropping the F bomb supposed to mean old Chuck was getting tough? LOL he's a joke.

Under no condition should any reasonable person believe these criminal cucks and lying liars. Twisting the truth will not solve the issue so they twist the truth hoping you and I will fall for it. As they lay bald faced and straight faced they are either under a spell or so firmly believe their alternate "facts" they are beyond convincing they are wrong. Nail them every time. Call them out. The world, the real world of facts and substance, relies on the truth of the matter. This is why animals do not lie. A lie for my dog or your cow runs contrary to their survival. And so it should be for us. Remove this lying Fascist Regime and all its supporters. NOW if you and I are to survive.

“You raise your voice.. I erase your voice.” Truest words ever spoken. That is intended for Americans

Trump and Co. are trying mightily to rollback the incredible gains on women’s rights and civil rights from the 60s and 70s. Their goals are to defeat those gains and re establish white male supremacy and segregation. We will absolutely NOT allow this to happen!

Ta, Dok. Yes, please.

WTF! Schumer isn't coming with a list of demands for changes to ICE/CBP that polls show the American public support and in most cases overwhelmingly support. No, Chuck has pre-compromised his list of demands so he won't touch ICE's budget or impose the restrictions that David Dayen lists as the minimum necessary. I'm beyond disgusted with Senate leadership.

I hate getting my hopes up. These people are not the leaders we need to meet this moment.

I just hope that the progressives get a say in reining in ICE or vote against any deal.

Does any one have any idea why Trump has moved away from his signature red tie to a yellow, or yellow and red one?

Serious question.

Color theorist here.

Could be a play on the Don't Tread On Me icon.

Red and yellow touching in nature is a visual code for Dangerous to Eat Me.

Coral snakes are poisonous and have it: their red and yellow stripes are adjacent. King snakes are not poisonous but their red- black-yellow- black stripes mimic the coral snake. When they're moving it's very difficult to tell them apart.

Yellow means caution, red means danger and power.

I hadn't considered the Gadsden Flag. I do notice that he's incorporating a lot more red and yellow ties instead of just the solid red one. Danger and power could very well be what he's trying to communicate here.

Thank you for the response.

We already have the existence proof that Senator Chuck is not reliable on the topic of government shutdowns.

How's that promise for a vote on reinstating the ACA subsidies working for ya, Chuck?

Dropping an f-bomb doesn't change shit.

Everyone please print this post out, underline the parts you want to emphasize, spring for a stamp and mail the sucker to Chuck. He’s beginning to get the message but he’s just not there yet. He needs to be pushed over that edge, or if all else fails, out a window to make room for someone with a spine and better vision.

I've been sending him postcards every week, demanding he resign his leadership and let a fighter take his place. He's a punk.

What’s upchuck? It’s what I want to do every time these feckless cowards finally gain a little. bit of leverage and then squander it. Do you think for a second Mitch McConnell in his tours of duty as minority leader would not have used the power of public opinion to defund something he didn’t like? As distasteful as you may find a knife fight, Charles, if you’re unprepared for one you should hand the reins to someone who is not.

Anything short of burning ICE to ground and completely overhauling our immigration system doesn’t go far enough.

"Changes are needed."

Sums it up. Speaks to the absolute inanity of Dems and their advisors.

Guess that leaves open the possibility of deporting little Polyp Goebbels himself when his turn in the barrel comes.

Up chuck or Chuck up? It's a puzzle.
