Government is crashing [View all]

The current administration is calling into question the relevance of the Legislative and Judicial branches of government. Between the recent ruling on immunity by SCOTUS and this wholly inept Congress and Speaker, as well as the complete inability of the Judicial branch to bring a criminal like TSF to justice or likely to ever hold eLoon accountable, it's all but impossible to see their way forward.
Unless something drastic happens I see TSF becoming fully realized dictator before the end of the year.
The weakness and fear and ineptitude is hard to ignore.
