That's Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer. Saying "Nancy and Chuck" is renewing Trump's technique of diminishing them, as though they are cartoon characters.

Amazing to think about how some wanted to choose someone else to be Speaker. So much hand-wringing about wanting "new blood" or "someone younger" ... basically they wanted change for the sake of change. What a short-sighted mistake that would have been! Especially NOW.

Take a page out of the Repug playbook, the next two years are spent making sure there is no second term for the Orange Douche.

The largest midterm victory since Watergate. And Watergate caused Nixon to resign . The midterm results nullified Trump's tainted victory.

And staying strong and resisting his tricks and tactics. Hopefully they can get some republican Senators to switch over or threaten to switch over if Mitch refuses to bring some of the bills up for a vote now. More are wanting to bring these bills up to start opening up government again ,and eventually that's what it will take. Republicans should also not vote for Barr until the government is reopened up. Screw trump , instead of letting him screw us.
