It's rather sickening to watch a former president act like some king or royalty horseshit.

31. Oh, I think Madison, especially, knew he'd be along sooner or later

and that's why presidents need to face elections every 4 years and why it is so difficult to amend the constitution.

Case in point: Russia. Their constitution wasn't bad 20 years ago, but whatever Putin didn't like was easy to amend. It's now pretty much in tatters. Meet the new Czar, just as rotten as the old Czars. Oh, he's in for a rough patch, one that will be settled by more bloodshed, while we got rid of TFG through the (more or less) peaceful transition of power.

The man who would be king is now accumulating felony indictments instead of tribute from loyal subjects. I have a sneaking suspicion he might eventually scarper, his transfer of MaraLardo to Junior might presage ducking out just prior to sentencing.

The shit show should be fascinating.
