30. I don't understand all this concern over Schumer

making or not making a statement about the Comey's indictment. What tsf is doing is wrong, however Comey is not at the top of my playbook for concern at this time. He cost us an election, FFS! He gave us trump.

Frankly Schumer and the rest of the Democrats are trying to avoid a f**king government shut down where millions may lose their healthcare, and tsf is calling for mass firings of Government employees! Schumer and Jeffries had a MEETING SCHEDUALED with tsf to try to avoid a shutdown and HE CANCELLED IT!


So, excuse me if I am not all that concerned about Schumer or any Democrat making statements about Comey at this time.
