He does whatever he wants, when he wants to, and no one seems to know how to stop the madness. There has never been anyone like him and when this is over, and it will be at some point, the US had better get some laws in place that will prevent another tyrant like him running rampant over the Constitution. That is assuming we have a country left.

No one is willing to stop him. Congress could stop him today if they chose to do so.

the two greatest impediments to human progress in the first half of the 21st century. Their desire for money and power at the expense of anything else will be their own signature on their gilded polyethylene headstones.

We need to aggressively shift the blame to the whole Republican party and their supporters/ voters. This maniac and his henchmen couldn't reek havoc on our nation without their fascist ill-informed base.

Not to mention that the man who is bringing down the world is hardly the charismatic genius I would have envisioned. How can such a barely literate person with no impulse control cause so much damage in such a short period of time?

I have really learned to appreciate what a successful democracy we once had in spite of its many flaws.
