I love how Schumer wants to help ease the mortgage problem only for people with houses worth over 500K. 'Cause he's all about the little people. Bitch.

I'm sure he just doesn't realize there are any houses priced at less than half a million.

There are plenty in NY, just not in the urban areas that he cares most about.

Ahh.... the soothing effects of an appropriate shirt-tie match.

Kudos Matt. The candy cane tie never saw a better day. I think the Season of Shirt-Tie Discontent will be soon nothing but a historical footnote.

Although... yeah.... navy blue is better than charcoal with that setup, but christ.... at least we're not being abused by attire-blasphemy anymore.
