Just because I don't mention something doesn't mean I forgot it.

I've often complained in other posts about the stupidity of our voting public. Smarter, more engaged voters, and less bigoted ones as well, would have given up on the current Republican part well before Trump was elected, and we certainly wouldn't be holding our collective breath wonder if Democrats can somehow break historical trends and hold onto the House in November.

Why call out "their Manhattan DA" in particular? The deficiencies of our legal system exist across the country, and are echoed in many other parts of the world too.
