Chuck Schumer’s riding high today thanks to Democrats’ Senate victory in Georgia. At long last, he gets to sit in the driver’s seat.
And he’s got a message for everyone:
Buckle up!

You heard him!
Good advice if you’re riding with Warnock https://t.co/pkwqn3KK7f

But really. Are we supposed to be impressed? Excited? Intimidated? What, exactly? Because it doesn’t sound like Schumer’s steering us toward the promised path of unity.
Oh great. https://t.co/2JzFc4YUJD

I am controlling my tongue right now, because if I said what I really wanted to say, I might get suspended. https://t.co/3qQxUhnUHq

So this is what “National Healing” looks like…. https://t.co/6J1QAQuKQz

This is what he means by coming together as a nation. He wants to ramrod a radical agenda.
This is about the worst tweet he could have sent today. https://t.co/3Tx7nqRE6y

You know things are about to suck when the new majority leader tells you, “Buckle up!” https://t.co/PYkVeNYUtZ

On the other hand, we’ve seen this kind of bravado before. From both sides. It’s not unreasonable to assume it’s a lot emptier than what Schumer wants everyone to believe.
The overpromising is upon us, soon to be followed by under-delivering, betrayal, and fatalism. This cycle is getting old. https://t.co/EQUxCEHq5r

Get ready folks for the wildest legislative ride you've been on since … 2001.
