        No. Dems are just putting on a show, same as they always do. The only difference is the villains have changed.

          No, Dems are pissed at him, and at the Congressional Dems who supported him. You just can’t understand that Schumer and those elected Dems are not the majority of the Dems. They’re just the people in power.

            Respectfully, you’re wrong.

            I remember when Dems were supposedly mad at Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.

            I remember when they were supposedly mad at Dianne Feinstein before that.

            This is a play. That’s all it is. They pretend to be mad but never actually use any of the power they have to hold these people accountable, and Chuck’s been pulling this shit long enough that they know who they’re dealing with. They put him in that position knowing exactly who he is.

      Several satirists, including Stephen Colbert, and John Stewart, and John Oliver have all commented that they are very tired of hearing the whole “the Republicans are in power, so your job must be much easier!”

      They are all, quite vociferously, against this. Each one of them has individually, and commonly, claimed that, “no, it doesn’t make it easier at all. The jokes may be funnier, but we all still have to live through this shit.” they are insist that they hate this as much as everyone else does. They’re just trying to make the best of it.

      They are people too.

        My argument was actually that it’s probably harder for satirists to come up with more ludicrous ideas and statements than actual people say in this day and age, not easier.

          Then you should have just said that instead of admiring your ideology and politically correct bullshit. Doing that completely made you sound like you’re supporting the Nazis.

          Well, I’m sure you’re going to waste a ton of time telling me how I’m wrong, I’ve already blocked you. I do not have time nor the patience to deal with people who are either uncertain or from the start do not know that they hate and will resist the Nazis.

          Do better
