In another rebuke to the fatalists, Tropical Soulvanglical criticizes yet another clickbait video title partially reading, "Who's going to stop him now (?)". His answer to that is, we -all- did, albeit with some notable exceptions, during the funding freeze crisis. TSV estimates it being roughly six hours from when the freeze was announced/implemented to when it was taken back because of all the outrage garnered across the country. The country demonstrated in that moment the kind of response it was capable of, and how weak -trump- is in giving into the response rather than doubling down in a fit of My Way Or The Highway. Everybody, that is, except for Schumer, is TSV's reading. Hakim Jeffries initiated an emergency mode among House Donkeys to work the phone banks accordingly along with non-profits that relied on the funding to do their jobs. But amidst the coverage, TSV heard -nothing- out of Schumer, and suspects that Schumer did yet another This Is Bad lip service PR announcement in the kind of philosophical weakness that a number of figures thus far laid on apparently all registered Donkey voters, considerably unfairly, because the registered voters, TSV doesn't think, don't subscribe to Schumer's pseudogandhism. TSV observes that it's this flawed philosophy that governs both Schumer's PR announcements and his undemocratic war on Biden of 7/24, and which TSV points out may very well still be going on right now despite lack of coverage to the effect. But where -trump- goes, TSV wonders if this is such an invincible Lex Luthor type figure, why -didn't- we get pushback from the guy accordingly? The answer TSV found laid in Rachel Maddow's observation that the administration is not good at the villainy it tries to play out, and which TSV predicted as far back as Wednesday November 6 that this would be the case when apparently everyone else was predicting Lex Luthor. TSV, by contrast, was predicting the incompetence of the Ant Hill Mob or Dick Dastardly, and he sees that as being confirmed thus far. The problem he saw coming was not a police state dictatorship as much as a stance of apathetic incompetence in times of need, which was unfortunately -also- borne out in their response to the first plane crash in 24 hours recently, though he also has a bad feeling of how they might have responded to the second crash as well. In the first crash at least, TSV has questions about where Pete Hegseth was and what he was doing at the time, since after all the coverage regarding the man's drinking and prediliction towards sexual assault TSV found it highly unlikely that we would just get a dial tone the moment after he set foot into the Pentagon for the first time as Secretary. This TSV wants us to cover in another base share.
