Many are deeply disappointed in Mr. Schumer.

I, however, am NOT disappointed in Rubio, as I never expected anything other than his pliant, gross, pious, servitude.

Yeah funding, blah blah. WE NEED FIGHTERS!!!! Funding will flow to fighters.

Chuck is NOT the guy for this moment.

Sorry. I do really like him, but I will quote a wise poet:

"Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand"
