I sense Schumers choice to support the CR was correct... [View all]

The best choice of the crummy lot of options to vote for...keeping government open keeps up the momentum of blocking the trauma by the Usher of Destruction.

I'm thinking that all the Schumer negativity is here and in the media has the power of the MAGA behind it.... they are pisst so they try to break us up and cause infighting.
