We're talking about the TV show, I assume? We certainly can't be talking about the Trump Administration, because they have no actual law and order folks. Not really.

Or, "do you honestly believe that your childish personal attacks on me will distract me from trying to get an answer to my valid question, Mister President? If so, you are sadly mistaken. Now either answer my question or admit that you can't."
Any variant will do, really.

Well, I tend to agree. But it might be even more effective without the f-bomb.

I still don't see why the point is gendered. The women are also complicit, in equal measure. Trump being a man doesn't really enter into it.

If you think it's easy, then you start. Right now. You go out and risk your job. You take action. Yourself.

The time is coming, very soon now, when one, just one of these reporters will snap, and say, "I'm not stupid. I did my research, and you are a liar. You're not even a good liar." And then calmly repeat that he is a liar, over and over again. And Trump will crumble into dust.

"More jobs" is meaningless anyway. That's all population growth, just like when he boasts about getting the "most votes ever".

It's about time. We need to see about 1000 more cases like this. And we need to see jail time.

You think all the very complex statements those Senators have publicly made to explain their votes were all fabricated, and the real reason is 100% Schumer? I'm sorry. That's ludicrous.

And just for the record, there was, is, and continues to be zero evidence that any of this "originated" with Schumer. I get wanting a scapegoat. Blame the Dems that voted the way you don't like and work to get them removed. Schumer isn't some magical god-king Oz. He doesn't have control of this.

Maybe we will pay for it. Maybe. I think it's just as likely that the shutdown will end up having been a net positive for Dems. Consider: Trump's ratings tanked, the election was a blue wave, and the shutdown seems to have clarified, for many voters, where the two parties stand.

Just going to clarify this one more time: It's childish to assume that Schumer magically controlled all these votes and somehow "used" 8 sitting Senators to "cover his ass". Childish. You think 8 people took a very unpopular vote just to save Schumer and there's a conspiracy to keep it quiet? Silly.

BTW, if you think your little grade-school attacks distracted me from the fact that you still haven't defended your weak argument...they haven't.

After all, what has been the consistent attack on Schumer for years? That he can't successfully control his caucus.

That's a very interesting made-up speculation, but there is zero evidence to support it. It's a lot more likely that those members made their own decisions based on their own motivations, than it is to make up conspiracy theories about Schumer magically being able to suddenly control his caucus.

To be fair, Pelosi never had to herd the Senate. It's a different animal. You don't actually know whether Schumer or any leader could have prevented these particular votes under this particular combination of pressures and circumstances, facing an opposition that does. not. care about the damage.
