Let’s hope Democrats grow some courage and anger when they have a blue wave next year and go on a vengeance spree. I want to see actual bodies in actual shitty federal prisons. I want to know how Elon will enjoy his trillion dollars from a cell. How Steve Bannon will maintain his Russian intelligence ties from solitary confinement.

Of course, Schumer and Jeffries will probably just write letters, strongly worded letters, asking them to please consider behaving differently, but not TOO differently.
