... and if anyone knows anything about being detached from reality ... it's Chuckie!

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) knocked President Trump's first speech to Congress, arguing there's a gap between the president's rhetoric and his administration's actions.
"The speech and reality have never been more detached in a presidential speech. It really doesn't matter what he said. This is like the campaign, and he says one thing but as he governs it's another," the Senate's top Democrat told MSNBC on Tuesday night.
He noted that while Trump talked about infrastructure Democrats haven't "heard a peep" from the White House about a proposal they rolled out earlier this year.
Schumer also pointed to Trump's rhetoric on a myriad of issues—including currency manipulation, education, his budget and his pledge to "drain the swamp"—as out of line with the early actions of the administration.
"His government is filled with, if you will, swamp creatures," he added. "This speech, like his inauguration speech...It's sort of forgotten because everything he's done has been different."
Schumer argued that the "people are not looking for a speech" but want to know what the administration will accomplish.
GOP lawmakers have been quick to praise Trump's first speech with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.) telling CNN that Trump became "presidential."
But Democrats are largely voicing skepticism about the president's push for bipartisanship, arguing it doesn't match Trump's policies.
“President Trump’s speech had an air of unreality because what he said tonight was so different than how he has governed in the first 40 days," Schumer said in a separate statement.
Most Democrats displayed scorn and disrespect; they groaned like stuck pigs when a dead African American youth was honored by President Trump, a young man killed by a vicious illegal criminal alien whom THEY were responsible for leaving inside the border. Many Republicrats, like the swamp creature McConnell who said that President Trump is NOW sounding presidential, will remain complicit with the damned Democrats.
Their heads will burst open much like the Martians in Mars Attacks.
F.U. Schmuck!
Translation = Trump hit a home run. Ask Van Jones.
Schumer is right. Trump’s speech WAS detached from reality.
Despite all that “moving forward together” crap, we all know Trump is gonna beat the left like a rented mule ;o)
... and if anyone knows anything about being detached from reality ... it's Chuckie!
Chuck may really be unaware that it is he who is detached. Srsly, he’s going to be the last to know.
Honestly, didn’t anyone expect anything different to come other of chuckle foul pie hole?
CBS showed full chamber at first with Dems sitting and never applauding. Then when it became obvious that Dems were being disrespectful and not willing to MAGA, CBS only showed Repubs standing and applauding.
Switched to Fox and they showed full chamber with Dems sitting and not applauding.
Dems showed themselves to be a bunch of Keep America Communist Assholes...KACA.
I see what you did there ;o)
I guess Schumer doesn't remember Obama's last speech.
reality, the one the dems tried to shove down our throats..reality belongs to the one who made it..Chuckie boiii you are an idiot..your reality is full of hatred..go away to your realty
Schmuckie Choomer was likely pissed that he and the “media” got thoroughly punked on that pre-speech “amnesty” report.
That’s Chuckie for you... always looking thru the wrong end of the telescope.
Schubert is detached from personality.
No matter what chuckle says. Trump went past them and right to the people last night.
No Chuckie, it was a speech well beyond your ability to envision greatness because you truly are a smaller thinker.
Chuckie is demonstrating just how far in left field the Democrat party has drifted. He lost thousands more voters for the Democrats with those commemts.
Detached from reality is hauling out a 72 year old former governor to do your response to Trump’s speech. Is that the face the Democrat party wants to display to the country? They don’t have any young members?
...a 72 year old former governor who eerily looks like the leader of the Hale-Bopp comet suicide cult.
