...it take to alert the Democrats who are like Senator Schumer?
- There was hoarding of classified documents for Trump's own private purposes whatever those might actually have been.
- There were Trump's multiple attempts to subvert the election of 2020.
- There was Trump's seemingly corrupt judge Aileen Cannon who ruled improperly time and time again against the Federal Government's case against Trump.
- There was the faulty Supreme Court decision that prevented Colorado from, on account of Trump's disability to take the oath of office under the 14the Amendment, keeping Trump from the ballot, etc.
Fast forward to January 20, 2025:
- Now, we have Trump, the felon, the insurrectionist, etc., again, and he has pardoned his January 6th "hostages".
- Now, we also have Trump's henchman Elon Musk attempting to dismantle the government with "his" fake government agency DOGE, etc.
- Now, we have a blatant disregarding of due process or of the First Amendment as evidenced in Tom Homan's and Stephen Miller's attitudes and presentations regarding some, if not all, deportations.
So, at what point, will the Democrats organize and fight with every possible governmental method available? When will the "leadership" of the Democratic Party start acting like this moment is a serious one? Are they content watching US national security be eroded by the half-witted whims of the idiot Trump as he seesaws from tariff to tariff and from threat to threat, all directed at our closest allies and designed to unmake deals that he himself instituted in his first term in office? At what point will Senator Schumer come to face reality and do something more than act like he is going to oppose cloture? He seems more engaged with hawking his book than he does with taking the moment seriously. If he is only going to get in the way by betraying the Democrats and the rest of the US population who favor democracy by voting with the MAGA GOP, he should resign from his leadership position, if not from the Senate, and clear the path for a Democrat who would be willing to stand up and fight instead of offering a few perfunctory two-fisted shakes as he does in the above video.
He is not fit for "the moment", and beyond that, this is not truly "a moment". It has been well under way for a little more than the last four years.
None of this is fine or normal.
Recall that Trump's self-interested handling of the pandemic likely cost hundreds of thousands of fellow US citizens their lives. Powerful bright lights and Ivermectin did not cause the virus simply to fade away as Trump desperately hoped it would. He only started to react seriously when the markets started to tank. He could have led, but he did not, and many, many died who otherwise would likely have been able to be saved by better policies enacted by an honest leader.
What part of any of that (and volumes could be filled with what I've left out of this) could possibly lead one to believe that the current situation calls for merely waiting and hoping that the situation will spontaneously improve or that Trump will become critically unpopular?
