New York Attorney Gen. Eric Schneiderman said that Democrats need to get tougher in the fight against Pres. Donald Trump and the Republican Party. Liberal constituents, he said, should hold their elected officials to account as energetically as conservatives do.
In a Politico profile, Schneiderman talked about what he has learned after litigating multiple lawsuits against Trump including the Trump University fraud suit, in which the then president-elect paid out $25 million to claimants in order to settle the case before taking office.
Having fought Trump in the courtroom and survived an aggressive Jared Kushner-abetted character smear in the New York Observer Schneiderman said of the newly sworn-in president, Hes not playing hide the ball.
Hes not that different offstage from how he is on stage, Schneiderman confirmed. This is him. He is a complicated guy in some respects, but he is used to making his own rules and he plays a very aggressive game. When he wants to get something done he will use every tool at his disposal.

(13,616 posts)and frankly, those who tell us to pick our battles need to be fought almost as hard as we need to fight the Republicans. Go ahead and talk about how the new Supreme Court justice really doesn't seem to be that mean; even under the best possible circumstance, he is a building block towards a truly fascist Supreme Court. If there was one genuine critique of Barack Obama, it is that he did not realize that the GOP had no intentions of fighting fair, and no low was too low. The GOP loves to say elections have consequences, while now this election needs that one consequence for them, that they will get fought tooth and nail uncial they are in a position where they have to back in your corner and lick their damn wounds!

(11,243 posts)All sorts of fresh blood in the game now. We mad. Trump and his GOP enablers won't know what hit them. Me? I want to stand on their necks and rub their faces in dirt in so they know how it feels. Figuratively, of course.
You know that scene in Christmas Story where Ralphie freaks out after being taunted one too many time, beats the living shit out of the bully and makes him cry? We're Ralphie. They're going to cry.
