One thing I’ve noticed about bullies and narcissists is that they *completely lose their shit* when anyone gives them a taste of their own medicine. Laugh at the bully, point out the narcissist isn’t as smart/strong/virtuous as they pretend, and it’s like you‘ve pissed on their mother’s grave.

Every single Democratic Senator who doesn't, within the next few days, publicly call for Schumer to be replaced as Minority Leader needs to get primaried.

I'l reiterate a point I've seen several other people make tonight: if Schumer is a "no" vote on this surrender but enough Democrats vote for it to pass anyway, then it is proof positive of his incompetence and ineffectiveness as Minority Leader and he must resign from that position immediately.

If either of my Senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer, vote to end the shutdown without getting anything on the ACA subsidies, I will be donating the maximum to their primary opponents, and leaving the lines blank if their names appear on general election ballots.

Important to emphasize that this disgusting surrender is not the doing of Cornell's faculty. It was a decision made by the president and senior administrators.
Nevertheless, until every single one of these cowards has been fired, Cornell is *severely* compromised as an academic institution.

Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.

The past nine months have made clear why every billionaire is a policy failure. It's just too corrupting and destabilizing for any liberal democracy to have a tiny hyper-elite with incomprehensible wealth compared to the average citizen.
