This will be very painful to hear but all the grifters who enabled Trump, supported him, and elevated him for sake of personal gain will fail up.
Nothing will happen to any of them.
It's just how the town works, folks. They all fail up down here. They all protect each other and their own.

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

The Times Union editorial: If there's genuine uncertainty about whether corrections officers have a legal "duty to intervene" when co-workers are using unnecessary force to beat someone to death, how about the governor and the Legislature get to work on making that responsibility crystal clear?
Editorial: Make it a crime to stand still during a murder
If there’s a legal question as to whether or not public safety officers in New York have a “duty to intervene” in cases of excessive force, the Legislature needs to act.
