  1. Whatever he does, it better be for the benefit of Democratic cred. Fuck Trump and fuck bipartisanship.

    We are living in a weird, weird world right now.

    And this smacks of reality television.

  3. Someone needs to text Chuck some links to the Schoolhouse Rock! videos to share with his meeting partner.

  4. Poor Chuck.

    He’ll have to leave and so home to take a bath in Purell.

  5. I’d like to believe that there’s little chance that Senator Schumer doesn’t remember how to play politics.
