Not a lot going on in NY State this week as most of the media attention has been on Trumpster dumbfuckery and the White House. Yes, Repubs, you own his sorry ass.
Some good news from my district, NY-21 … Looks like a Real Dem has thrown his hat in the ring to run for the Congressional seat here v. “Beltway” Elise Stefanik. whoo hoo!
In the Syracuse area, NY-24, local Dems are all over district congress critter John Katco, calling him out to denounce the Trumpster’s deportation immigration policy.
In Albany, seven elected -ahem- “Dems” continue to side with the Repubs side of the aisle to render the Dem party the minority party despite leading Repubs in the actual vote tally, 32-31. This started in 2011 when two or three “Dems” defected to the other side to tip the scales in favor of the Repubs. That trick has worked ever since, now with seven Dems slithering to the Repub side of the aisle. We need to work to vote these fuckers out in 2018.
