“petty”

Damn.
That Senate collegiality thing really fucks with proper spelling.
It’s “pretty fucking stupid”.

“Small and petty.” Come on, man. Use simple, straightforward, meaningful words like @maximus and @kenga suggest. If you stuck a stick up Shumer’s ass, he couldn’t just say, “Ow, godammit that hurts.” It would be something more like, “Oh, I do believe you have caused unnecessary discomfort in my rectal region.”

I don’t know – for someone like Trump for whom everything he does must be “yuge”, being described as “small” and “petty” is a pretty good insult.

I agree. Trump may not know what “petty” means, but “small” is guaranteed to get under his skin.

I see your point. But, I just can’t get too excited about Shumer’s usual word choice.

Schumer is absolutely correct! Trump is being small and petty about his own self made failures. Neither are good traits for a so called leader and most people know Trump lacks leadership!!

Well, I beat Hillary! And the popular vote? I won that too!!

So much winning!!!

How about gutless tyrant?

That made me laugh out loud! And ain’t it the truth. That’s half the reason Trump won–he didn’t say anything coherent, but he used simple, everyday language.

Chuck who? You mean there are still Democrats in DC?

No message, no plan, no leadership. No wonder the Russian propaganda worked even better than Trump and boss Vladimir imagined.

Chuckle…go retire with Hillary. New blood and the new labor movement is the path forward!

Small and petty.

Was Schumer talking about Donnie’s hands?

“Petty” makes it sound like maybe there’s a little bit of truth in it, no matter how small. For heaven’s sake, Dems, come up with some who knows how to message. “GOP doesn’t know how to help people.” “GOP can’t govern.” “Democrats want people to have health care, GOP doesn’t.” Good grief, Dems are bad at messaging.

But you know who’s good at messaging–Al Franken, Liz Warren, Bernie Sanders, Maxine Waters. People who are tough, direct, and often funny.

It’s not petty it’s a bald faced lie. The Republicans wanted nothing to do with the Democrats. They had 13 men in a room in secret. No hearings. No discussion. No nothing. It’s no one’s fault but the Republicans. Lies lies lies. Call it what it is – a LIE!

Stand up all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Don’t cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all

If you set your petty rant to music it’d be the Internationale.

Better messaging. That’ll bring people to the polls in the midterm.

It is long past collegiality time. Call these anti-government republicans what they really are and do not mince words. Put it in terms that a plain spoken American understands and feels. Stop being so damn nice! Nice guys finish last. It is kick-ass and take names time.

Slightly OT but…
Just heard this said by O’Donnell: “Donald Trump finally found something he does not want to own!”
I love it.

Too late. We already labeled it TrumpCare, now the FAILED Trumpcare. Or as the always hip and happenin’ Charles Krauthammer has recently tagged it: EPIC FAILURE.

Just as the ACA was RomneyCare until it was ObamaCare. Trump owns this because this is what history will insist on calling it (especially if we keep beating the drum).
