Providing a bit of levity to Friday afternoon in the U.S. legislature, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Donald Trump of inciting the “erection” ahead of the presdent’s impeachment trial. It’s likely the only erection Trump has ever been accused of inciting.

Chuck Schumer saying that Donald J. Trump “incited the erection” made me laugh harder than any stand up comedy in the last 5 years.

More importantly, Schumer rejected Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s request to include a protection for the filibuster.

Schumer says he will turn down McConnnell's request for Democrats to protect the filibuster as part of the 50-50 Senate: "Leader McConnell's proposal is unacceptable, and it won't be accepted" https://t.co/skIxovGu4p pic.twitter.com/MoAzESWocB
