We will find out.

What we are witnessing is IMO the most corrupt presidency in the history of the US. Our system of government is equipped to deal with this thru “checks and balance” but that only works when the congress does its job. However that is not happening. The republican majority appears to be actively aiding and abetting trump. Our system is not equipped to deal with that.

If trump and his accomplices get away with what they have done / are doing. If “rule of law” does not prevail, this country as we have known it and as our founders envisioned it is lost.
