In reply to the discussion: Schumer Sees Americans Rising Up If Trump Defies Court Orders [View all]peggysue2
(12,361 posts)The moment we lost our best chance to stop the runaway train. Honestly, I'm not sure the results were legitimate but that's irrelevant at this point; we are where we are.
The one thing I would defend in Schumer's decision is the courts being able to proceed with all these cases against the regime. My understanding is that the legal fight would have ground to a halt if the Government had closed. What's going on in the courts is slowing the process, throwing sand in the gears much to Agent Orange's angst. And then there's Musk who is evolving into The Worst Person in the World, second only to Trump, of course. All of that is to the good and growing. Destructive speed is one of the main weapons Project 2025 was counting on--obliterate everything in 100 days before citizens woke up to their new reality.
The wreckage is real but the traitors have not succeeded in leveling everything, not yet at least. And people are screaming bloody hell.
Unfortunately, we all have much better vision in hindsight rather than in the moment.
I think you're right about McCarthy. He was bad but not entirely crazed. Johnson on the other hand is a Trump/Project 2025/Christian Nationalist rubber-stamp. Jeffries and House Dems made what they thought was a good decision. But they, too, did not have a crystal ball.
I think Schumer will survive the political headwinds. But that's a rough guess at best. We all need to be nimble in this landscape because things can change on a dime.
I'll tell you one thing for sure, I really miss Joe Biden!
