You know, Tom Sawyer played the same trick on Huck Finn. "Boy, painting fences is so much fun. I'd hate for you to miss out on the great fun." Only they're selling the great fun of getting bombed, maimed and killed for a war nobody wanted started except a genocidal leader and his pals in the US.

"If the news is making you want to cuddle up with your cat ..." Smooth ad transition there, Sam.

Brian Schatz would be another Schumer. I despise Dems.

Cutting UPPER middle class taxes just means more burden on the poors!

Who cares if Schumer hand-picked these people? Is it too much against decorum to go against him because of that? This is ridiculous.

Good to see Dayen more cheerful than he was a few weeks ago!
