There's been a lot...

... of perfectly justifiable rage-howling about the near total lack of planning and/or commentary in response to the unspeakably evil machinations Der Führer Trump, but especially Elon Musk’s blatantly illegal interference in government agencies.

But I had a Pollyanna-esque fantasy about the Democratic leadership’s plan… if there is one.

Suppose for a moment that they’re playing a give-‘em-enough-rope sort of waiting game: There are some semi-intelligent Republicans that are tagging along with Trump’s clown car for their own rotten reasons, and, of course, there are the legions of room-temperature IQs that cheered when he told them that he didn’t care about them, he just wanted their votes. Sooner or later, ALL of these mental defectives are going to come to the realization the aforementioned clown car is headed for a cliff and picking up speed, and it’s time to bail... or die. Then they’ll be begging the Democrats to, once again, save them from themselves.

Yeah, I know, it’s crazy… but it’s possible.

But regardless, something as to be done about Musk, and it has to be done NOW! That sonofabitch is poison!
