Before we ask our leaders to fight, are we sure they know how to?

I'm not all that sure. I don't see Bruce Lee out there. Too often I see a 1940's film reel with some skinny guy in a handlebar mustache making circles with his fists. We do so much that is wrong. There are a lot of bright spots, but they are all too rare. I think we need a seminar.

Instructors:
Jennifer Granholm, Ana Navarro, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Michelle Wolf, Bill Maher...?

Film review:
The Warriors, Billy Jack, Circle of Iron...?

Refreshments:
Cheap tequila

If Tucker actually has a son, I sincerely doubt he's in the military.

Unless our congressman and senators love coming to work (everyday) as a minority power in Washington.

I love what Adam Schiff does. I liked what I saw Kamala Harris do when administering some pummel therapy to Trump's DHS puppet. I really loved watching Obama toss Republicans around like rag dolls when he went to their retreat that one time. I would like more of that.

We each register 100 new voters for November, we each give our time and money to elect democrats at every level. We help get the vote out, we help be poll watchers.. this is our fight.

I expect leaders to inspire and channel that. Even if they don't (and they often do), it's still ultimately our fight though. So I agree with you.

His words/tweets are often not the weak tea variety.

Rep. Lieu is another good one.

"Democrats, your candidate can be 12 points ahead and somehow you blow it and lose to a candidate named Jeff Pedophile Nazi Doctor".

I hear stuff like that and it pisses me off about our leaders inability to outmaneuver douchebags like Mitch the turtle.
