Chuck Schumer sent a pretty pointed message to Donald Trump, right in front of him

Chuck Schumer was the only Democrat who got to speak at the Inauguration. He nicely subtweeted some pretty pointed remarks to Mr. Trump:

We Americans have always been a forward-looking, problem-solving, optimistic, patriotic and decent people.

Whatever our race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity; whether we are immigrant or native-born; whether we live with disabilities or do not; in wealth or in poverty; we are all exceptional in our commonly held yet fierce devotion to our country, and in our willingness to sacrifice our time, energy, and even our lives to making it a more perfect union.

Today, we celebrate one of our democracy’s core attributes: the peaceful transfer of power.

And every day, we stand up for core democratic principles enshrined in the Constitution: the rule of law, equal protection for all under the law, the freedom of speech, press, and religion — the things that make America, America.

i have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of sublimated anger that dems didnt dare let out at obama are gonna fuel some blowtorches on our side.
