Last time there were adults in the room. Look at the gallery of clowns, rogues and thieves he's surrounded himself with this time. This is different. This time there's an explicit removal of the people and structures intended to say "no" to executive overreach. We ignore this at our own peril, as a nation.

Or the various insurgencies in the Sahel, or the war in Darfur, or the Syrian civil war. > Same hyperboles were said in 2017 and we were fine Were you fine? The Supreme Court was stacked by blatantly political appointees who then declared that the president has immunity for official business, even if it's blatantly illegal. This is a disgusting precedent to set, yet here we are.

  >Were you fine? The Supreme Court was stacked by blatantly political appointees Supreme Court appointments have been political for decades in the US. Sad? Yes. New? No. >who then declared that the president has immunity for official business Not a surprising ruling at all, and not a political one. Not a "disgusting" precedent. It is a very narrow ruling and is consistent with how these things have worked for decades. There is an impeachment process, you know that right?
