Are you an expert in NY politics as well?

That is a great post.

I sort of am.
I met Chucky quite a few years ago... That man doesn't care about the back bone of America aka the small business owner. He's the first in favor of ridiculous tax hikes. He sure does pander to those in the boroughs but could care less about upstate. (You are in Long Island there's a whole state worth seeing north of Dutchess county and boy is it beautiful. Too bad Chucky and the ilk like him ruined it) cough cough cuomo cough cough

There it is: more name calling from the PE.

Soon enough, he'll be calling for unity and the proverbial "working together" crap.

Then the Trumpettes WHINE and COMPLAIN that half the country doesn't like "Little Hands". They call people "snowflakes".

Well, snowflakes vote just like the deplorables do.

The guy is just an embarrassment. Everyday that goes by reminds me more and more of GWB

Its totally unacceptable to kill huge numbers of desperate people simply in order to line the pockets of big insurance and big pharma.
Baloney. That is like saying if you get a bonus at work one year, your employer must give you a bonus every year. The world does not work that way.

Health insurance isn't a 'bonus'.

Unfortunately for Schumer, he has no power to do something about it. Elections have consequences according to the ex-head, Obama.

#MAGA

IMO, it's a pretty good description of Schumer. I laugh every time I see the man.

And every GOP president in your memory, I'd bet. Never met a GOP member you liked.
