Maybe those 23 are not worried because the writing is on the wall. Blinkered is on the way out and they know it.

Maybe things are so bad and the bile is rising in their throat and they can take the shit anymore, so they are speaking out.

Blinkered won't survive the midterms. He is out.

When he slinks to some spot government job like being a prognosticator on CNN or Madeline AllDull's outfit people should laugh and move on.


In parting Blinkered is here and screwing thing sup. But this too shall pass. He will be gone around midterms.
