Chicago's latest Mayor "Let's Go" Brandon Johnson as achieved "feckless" status in record time.  He formulated a piss poor new strategy to tamp down the city's historically horrific violent crime over the Memorial Day weekend.  Oh, what a farce that proved to be.  And things only have gone, well, down…
