Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's party now holds complete control of Washington — an opportunity he said comes around “maybe twice a century”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is seeking reelection next year as one of a trio of Democratic leaders who could rack up achievements rivaling FDR's New Deal. | Samuel Corum-Pool/Getty ImagesChuck Schumer vowed in November that when his Democrats “take Georgia, then we change the world.” He wasn’t far off.

The personal stake he has in this political moment can't be understated: After spending Donald Trump’s presidency leading a minority that was trampled by massive GOP tax cuts and three conservative Supreme Court justices, Schumer is seeking reelection next year as one of a trio of Democratic leaders who could rack up achievements rivaling FDR's New Deal.

Of course, even with those tantalizing possibilities in front of them, Democrats have never been easy to lead. That's why Schumer is trying to maintain momentum, knowing the risk of an internecine quagmire is always a possibility.

SenSchumer will f it up

UNHCR and IOM in Montenegro are playing for time, waiting for the whole of Europe to be quarantined. Then it will be said that the European Union is closed. I demand that the EU gave instructions to the UNHCR and the IOM in Montenegro to send us to the countries of the EU

Let's hope so... it's time to make shrinking violets of the R. Party, I mean the Q. Party...

And SenSchumer, what’re going to do with the time left ? Clock is ticking...

Not with Manchin sitting at the stop light.

It's not unfettered control, just on budgetary items.

Make it count!

Joe Manchin may demur.......

It's not really 'complete' control: Senate minority power (filibuster), SCOTUS, etc.

Ok let’s see so far we have the worst border crisis after two decades, still experiencing violence - gun shootings, so let’s see how Dems will make things better.

If Republicans don't want to join or negotiate, crush them, and then smear their faces in it. They'd do it if the situation was reversed.
