    New York’s governor, Kathy Hochul, called the arrest “bullshit” on social media and to reporters. She later said in a news conference that the charges against Lander had been dropped late on Tuesday afternoon.

    If all of this weren’t so serious, it would be interesting, just from a sociological perspective, to see the extent to which public officials using expletives in public-facing remarks has increased of late.

      You me, my brother-in-law. For some reason, its the progressive* men in my life who understand the need to get our families away from this shit, somewhere they can avoid suffering and death, or radicalization, or recruitment to a losing cause. One thing we’re definitely NOT heading for is a quick civil war.

      Meanwhile my wife and all the other white progressive women we know seem perfectly happy to play wait-and-see straight through until its far too late.

      *Even most of the MAGAT men I know would jump at the chance to remove their families from this sinking ship - they don’t want their kids caught up in this shit either.
