Concept High
YouTube video by Concept High

It never feels like the right time to promote anything frivolous, but my birthday is tomorrow and it appears I'll be stuck at home sick, so I posted my short Concept High publicly. It's under 6 minutes and played the Austin Film Fest last year and I dare say it's fun www.youtube.com/watch?v=h05s...

“If I were a senator, I would be asking Senator Schumer to step down as minority leader. He's simply cannot meet this moment,” she says.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Moderate Democrats saw that voters were energized and might expect something from them, so they needed to put a stop to that ASAP

Chuck Schumer has been my Senator longer than I've been old enough to vote and he'll keep being my Senator after I'm gone because his party leadership has made something in my brain rupture.

Trump is punishing people for being poor and hungry and we're gonna just keep letting that go? Who the fuck thinks he's gonna fund SNAP when the government is open again? The fucking courts told him he had to end even THAT wasn't good enough. He's suing to be allowed to starve people
I hope everyone who was insisting two days ago that Schumer was playing 10D chess is having a lovely Sunday

Schumer has been my Senator longer than I’ve been old enough to vote and I’m years past sick of it.
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

It would be significantly less expensive for Bill Ackman to construct a Shutter Island scenario that convinces Andrew Cuomo he holds office than to keep trying to actually get him elected.
