Well let’s just put it this way.

• Chuck Schumer just found out that he is under one of Trump’s retaliatory investigations for a comment he made over 5 years ago. Rather than tell Trump to fuck all the way off, he’s basically groveling and saying it was all just one big misunderstanding.

• NY Governor Kathy Hochul just declined to remove Adams from office and is saying she’s gonna keep an eye on things. Because having a mayor that was indicted on multiple corruption charges and who is being openly blackmailed by Trump is A-OK to have in charge of the country’s biggest city. Surely nothing can go wrong here.

So let’s just say I have little faith in our elected representatives doing a god damned thing. So far, all our elected officials (and for that matter, our entire judicial system and media ecosystem as well) have proven that they will first bend the knee and kiss the ring before doing anything that might be viewed as “resistance”. All of them. The whole god damned lot of them. The ones we elected to be the first to hold up the pillars of our society when threatened are proving to be the first ones to step aside the minute they see someone with a sledgehammer.
