All Quiet South of the Potomac
Jun. 3rd, 2020 09:08 pmToday was the first day of the year when the temperature in the DC area hit 90. Not that the locals can't force themselves to function in that heat if they actually have to; that wasn't going to stop the protests. This afternoon, we even briefly believed our boss had just resigned, although it seems he hasn't done that just yet. Still, I have my doubts of how long Trump will tolerate his reluctance to cross the lines he started striding across Monday night.
Really, tonight, we're expecting an episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. which will be doing a variation of ye olde "Should time travelers kill Hitler?" debate, and I know it was all filmed months ago, and you have to assume the Chronicoms know what they're doing and if they succeed it'll be Very Bad. But even so? At this point, I'd say do it, and roll the dice on the damn timeline. Yes, it's still possible for things to be worse than they currently are. We've spent recent days in dread of them becoming so, after all. But what are the odds they would be?
It's good the charges against the George Floyd's killers are on the increase, but the fact remains we've seen charges before. The real question is if any of them get convicted. And having a jury willing to do it may really require societal change. At best, that's a long hard road away.
