44. To fight back

Thu Jan 8, 2026, 08:16 PM

Jan 8

I think a lot of us are frustrated, I know I am, with so many of the Democratic leadership doing nothing to fight back, versus getting on TV and saying how "disappointed" they are (Schumer). At least Walz isn't giving up without a fight, which it appears so many in the Democratic leadership are.

Trump is your typical bully who often backs down when he is pushed back on by someone he senses he can't push around. Gavin Newsom is a perfect example of that.

Trump has lost in court on this issue several times now; maybe he won't want another loss, as narcissists can't stand that.

I guess we'll see. I certainly hope Walz wins this battle.
