The third week of Donald Trump's presidency and things are not okay.

This is the warning.

There is an unprecedented assault underway by unelected people against the people's government.

Chuck Schumer is the minority leader of the United States Senate, and his strategy, as articulated in the New York Times, is to lay down on the railroad tracks and get run over.

Chuck Schumer thinks this is winning.

We will win.

We will win.

We will win. We will win. We will win, we will win, we will win, we will win, we will rest, we won't rest, we won't rest, we won't rest.

This is a serious moment for the nation and for the Democratic Party, And the leader of the Senate Democrats is an inarticulate loser who has no capacity whatsoever to articulate the stakes of the moment.

Let's watch this encounter with the media and let's understand what he's saying.

Look, here's the bottom line.

The Republicans are already shutting down good chunks of the government.

Democrats don't want to shut down, but it's in Republicans' hands.

It's up to them.

The only point of leverage that Democrats have to stop this is to signal to Donald Trump

immediately that they will not entertain even discussing providing votes for the upcoming government

funding bills unless and until three things happen.

Number one, Elon Musk and Big Balls and his team of computer weirdos cease immediately

their unconstitutional and unlawful assault and rampage in the federal government.

Number two, they disclose immediately what it is that they have done.

And three, the inspector generals be restored to each federal agency so the golden age

of corruption that Trump has instigated can be delayed a bit.
