As Trump Rushes To Dismantle America, Democrats Break For Tea

Democratic Congressional leaders say they’ll give president 100 days before taking any action or voicing opposition

Democrats resting on the floor of the House chamber as they wait for trays of tea and biscuits. “It’s a great time for us to get to know each other better,” said one.

Saying they don’t want to judge the president too soon, Congressional Democrats have decided to hang back for his first 100 days, checking the pulse of the nation again sometime in April.

Senator Chuck Schumer of New York says he’ll use this period of Democratic inaction to “get in some bike rides and practice my tennis game.”

“I think people just need to relax and give the man a chance,” said Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer. “We’ll have plenty of time later to counter President Trump’s executive actions on immigration, refugees, the border wall, torture, nuclear proliferation, energy policy, climate change, LGBTQ protections, equal pay for women, abortion…uh, did I miss any?

Schumer was not the only Congressional leader who seemed oddly lax at a time when the core values of American democracy appear to be under attack by the new administration.
