That's a poison kiss if there ever was one.

This whole scenario is depressing to watch. Yes, there's no good direction to take here and this may or may not be the lesser evil. But . . .

Schumer has decided to follow James Carville's suggestion that Democrats 'play dead' or in the down-home vernacular 'play possum' and wait for these suckers to blow themselves up.

But as Earl said, without a strong, consistent message (which should have been in place long before this) people could easily turn-off and hunker down for good.

That serves no purpose if saving the Republic is the goal.

Right now the only Democrats who have broken through the noise are people like Bernie Sanders, AOC, or earlier this week John Larson. It's with passion and anger and righteous indignation. Americans need to see their representatives fighting the good fight, regardless of the outcome.

As for Agent Orange? He's the biggest, ugliest troll the Universe ever created. He and his tech bro maniacs are out to destroy all of us.

In my mind, playing dead is riskier than standing up with a clenched fist.
