Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze, MMA-NYC, 1851
Schumer! Jefferies! John Roberts and Company! Joint Chiefs! Wake up and mobilize! Your moment for “the art of the possible” is passing. The Musk-Trump Cabal has seized illegitimate control of your power—and we have an existential constitutional crisis for rule of law in the United States. Forget about identity politics and bureaucratic turf. Don’t give a thought to which voters you might offend. Forget DEI, Abortion, BLM, LGBTQ issues, the damn penny, nickels and dimes, whether the Kennedy family loves RFK Jr, and whether Tulsi is a Russian Agent. Now let’s go! To the Barricades!
Or… to the lifeboats.
This blitzkrieg against the pillars of government by the new administration has been impressive, in a back-assward kind of way—well timed, strategically ordered and scheduled and calculated to suggest unhinged “genius” and to fuel unhinged fear among the opposition. As if a detailed plan were being followed? Who knew?
And that translates to existential fear for the Democrats, already in sad denial, resulting in the Party’s impotent response. Only the Judicial Branch and the U.S. Military, each sworn individually to defend the Constitution, stand between our nation and the Coup by the Musk-Trump Cabal. The enforcement resource for the Judicial branch is the Justice Department under the Executive Branch. The President is Commander in Chief of the U.S. Military. So there you go.
Thus the Congress must find the bollocks to jointly defend the Constitution.
Or… to the lifeboats.
Where is Steve Bannon when you need him? He is beginning to look good in comparison to Elon Musk. And he is the natural enemy of Elon Musk, along with all of the members of the White House Staff who resent Musk’s influence on Trump. An ancient proverb states: “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” I believe that ancient proverb! I’m pulling for Steve Bannon, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Once again I have reached a point where I plan to just sit back and watch for a while.

Sadly, bollocks are in short supply in Congress.
