I think the reality is far scarier - he doesn’t have nearly as much power over ISP as he should.

If he doesn't, he needs to be forthright about it in his speeches and podcasts. "The ISP is disobeying my direct orders."

Until then, he bears responsibility for their actions.

The NYPD all but threatened to kill Bill de Blasio's daughter when he tried to bring them to heel. I'm limiting myself to being furious at the fucking freaks terrorizing my city instead of creating new shit to get mad about. There's plenty as is.

ISP enjoys support from the white rascisty southern part of IL as a bulwark against the Chicago Police and all of the brown people there.

He does not. People working in public service law could have told you that long before Trump won the election. That's sort of not on him; it's its own political power center. But that's his problem to solve now.
