"We will go to the bathroom, but only after we've shit our pants" is a helluva strategy.

WATCH: Schumer says "our democracy will be at stake" if Trump disobeys the Supreme Court—but "we're not there yet."

Chronic inability for leadership to make a plan B.

“Did someone say plan B? Like the abortion medicine that is controversial cause the republicans say it is? Sounds scary, I’m gonna go do a book tour instead”

Primary everyone (except a few - and we all know who those folks are because they’re actually out there fighting oligarchy and fascism).

Well the USA has a track record of preferring to punish criminals rather than invest in preventing crime. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Wildly out of touch and so disingenuous. He, himself, has said that Trump is a threat to democracy and now he's acting like he isn't yet? And so condescending, "the people have to use their voice and rise up"? We are! And we're telling him to do more than wait!

I’m banging my head on my desk screaming “it’s not 2017”

It’s really giving “my checks come from the same companies that will benefit from privatization of social services so I’m just gonna let this play out.”

Democracy is at stake now. Trump outright defying SCOTUS means democracy in the USA is dead. I don't understand what Schumer doesn't understand.

He understands that his Special Friends on the Other Side control the media, social media, academia, and big business so what they say the narrative is the narrative and the narrative is good if he can just Jazz Hands and Black Face Gaslight America for a few more days we will move on

He understands nothing

Has any of our government leadership, MAGA or Dem, read the Constitution?

I promise to god I'm really asking because I can't fathom it: what do you think he THINKS he's doing right now?

imdoctorremulak.bsky.social•15 days ago

Chuck's thinking days are over. His mouth moves like the legs of a spider you just hit with your shoe.

chuckwendig.bsky.social•15 days ago

I have no idea. I think playing it safe has ingrained itself as a strategy and they've convinced themselves it's the smart move instead of a cowardly one.

Thank you. That's the only thing I can come up with, but at what point do they realize that they are tearing things down before our eyes?

THEY should be panicking more than us because they understand the implications.
