The Trump Congress won’t do anything – refusing to pass laws or impeach.

Trump ignores the courts with impunity – including the Trump Court.

The dictator isn’t a foreign invader who seized control via outside conquest.

The dictator isn’t a domestic insurgent who seized power via an armed coup.

The dictator came to power pursuant to the Constitution reflecting the will of the people – and reflecting the ignorance, fear, and stupidity of the people; the people are alone responsible for the bad government they get.

Issuing warnings about the dictator ‘must be stopped’ absent the means to do so is pointless and naïve.

He implied one aspect, the crushing collapse of most of the professions, more interested in chasing the money than doing their jobs well. Lawyers, journalists, politicians ... and it extends to others.

Marvelous OP and a blistering piece. How many in America will hear it? 0.73%?

Maybe I am wrong but hoping these num nuts hear what their voters have to say (their main concerns). Call not just your own senator but others
