4. Schumer comes out against Iran deal because, why not be a tool?

In Which We Discuss:

4. Jeb Bush currently has all the money but don’t worry, if you work longer hours it’ll trickle down. That’s worked in history, right?
5. If Germany can Shock Doctrine Greece, does this mean that California can Shock Doctrine Kansas and get rid of Sam Brownback?
