Let us have our fun during this overwhelming shit show.

He IS doing his job...for the Billionaires who are too thin-skinned to be mocked!

Just this has convinced me he's unfit to be President, because he's A Clinton Neoliberal, and thus a BIG part of the problem.

Well parsed as usual!

It does make sense to enjoy the moment without regret.

Schumer has no fight. Murphy is all fight. Worth remembering that Hubert Humphrey was called “the happy warrior,” and Mohamed Ali taunted his opponents with poetry. A little joy and mirth with comrades makes the fight easier.

"Senator Murphy, you must understand; these men have been putting us through hell since January and this is an exhibition of the schattenfreude we now feel at their current circumstances..."

Count me among the crowd that is enjoying the cat fight of the titans while hoping the Titanic doesn't completely submerge. Here's to hoping the movie ends differently this time!

Chris Murphy doesn’t understand the assignment. We can and will enjoy the well earned and well timed schadenfreude as these two terrible people destroy themselves and their reputations and their incomes. Shrug!

The “one big big beautiful bill” (gag me with a spoon!) being an casualty of this breakup, can’t think of anything more delicious!

And we will still continue to work hard to defeat this bill, outside of congress. While having well earned duh. We can do two things at once!
