9. Trump tweets and the world stands still

Schumer tweets and . . .who cares?

What's needed is for Schumer to spend his Sunday mornings in front of microphones and media cameras, preferably outside the Capitol Building, telling the media and anyone else within air shot that Trump is lying,
--- that Trump's people and possibly Trump himself worked with Russian and other foreign agents to secure his victory
over Mrs. Clinton
--- that the entire apparatus that passes for the Trump Administration is devoted to enriching the Trump family at the
expense of the American people and the peoples of the world,
--- that the "Tax Cut" law is a fraud levied on the American people with the chief purpose of further enriching the 1%-ers
who are Trump's most loyal -- and profitable supporters,
- --- that until we see his tax returns we can safely assume he has paid fewer taxes than the working poor that his
administration and kowtowing Congress disdain so publicly,
--- that he is no more a "christian" than is the chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, (maybe Shumer might be better
advised not to go after Trump's false christianity -- but it's a thought)
--- that the Mr. Mueller's investigation is ongoing and while it has not issued its findings as yet, that is simply because it is
an ongoing investigation (DUH!),
--- and that this week we can carefully go over his and his administration's lies [and then proceed to list in detail].

Why the Dems don't do this beats hell out of me. If Trump gets screen time with his manic tweets, I should think Senator Shumer (and other Dems!) could also seize a little screen-time by issuing statements about Trump's lies, broken promises, dodges and persiflages.

End of rant.
