Thanks, it certainly felt like a missed opportunity and your explanation seems to shed light on why. You are absolutely correct that those of us who are watching this nightmare unfold are asking WHERE is the opposition leadership? Any act of opposition even if it fails will rally people and provide hope. Capitulation by Schumer brought nothing but criticism and despair from those of us that want to see Trump challenged at EVERY turn since this is exactly what a bully wants to see and emboldens them to push even harder against a weak opponent. We cannot afford to miss any other opportunities and if the democratic leadership isn’t willing to take that approach they should step aside and let others take their place!

The power autocrats like Trump wield is the power that we give them. Schummer handed Trump more power by not putting up a even a modicum of resistance... with the levers at his disposal. This is dereliction of duty to his constituents-the broad swath of new yorkers who elected him to office, and to the country at large. And thank you for calling out the consequences of this missed opportunity, so that this blunder may not be repeated.

Schumer, a conventional Democrat, has failed to understand and recognize that what we have is a regime, not a functioning government. It is a criminal syndicate at war with the real constitutional government of the people. That syndicate includes the 6 treasonous, activist POTUS “justices”.

Why don’t YOU run for office. You clearly have intelligent, logistical reasoning.

I wrote this song originally about the feckless Repubs kow-towing to Felon47. But there are a lot of Dems it applies to as well.
