The Leticia James lawsuit, happy as I am to see it, does more to confirm my cynical view...

17. Look at directing your complaint to about our "so-called justice sytem," imo for shame.

You kind of forgot to include that it's THE PEOPLE who elected for their Manhattan DA a man now widely viewed as incompetent and uncommitted. At best. And many others down the decades who don't do their jobs ethically.

In this case, not an amorphous "justice system" you're supposedly "cynical" about, but a specific DA with a NAME that could be looked up. Many were shocked that this elected official refused to prosecute when there was very good reason to believe prosecutable crimes had been committed. For god's sake, tRump sold 40 floors of tRump Tower alone as 10 stories higher than they were, defrauding every buyer and lender. Not frivolous to his victims.

How about being shocked at those who complain about "the justice system" when they're supposed to be getting ready to vote for people who will use it correctly? Elections have consequences. And one guess WHO have the critically important job of electing honest, competent people who will do the job? Not elect someone who strokes our ideology by chanting pleasing catchphrases and lying about opponents, is a favored skin color, or promises vengeance for grievances -- but honorable, competent people who will do the job sworn to. There are plenty out there.

Feel free to repost about your cynicism regarding the "so-called" electorate who failed to do their job, although I'll go ahead and remind you now that they're extremely real, including those who abuse their power and betray their duty by refusing to even vote, much less vote ethically.

How's your voting? We all need to be taking NAMES, examining records, and proceeding responsibly from there.
