12. Because...

To me, the answer is very simple: Because nothing is stopping them. There is no enforcement mechanism to be applied to them. Without enforcement on a particular act, the law is meaningless. It's just words.

No enforcement? No law.

Trump owns the judiciary. And even if he didn't, he will just ignore court orders. And he will be able to ignore court orders...because there is no enforcement against him.

It's gone too far, and the frog is boiled.

People think I am a doomer because I always say this: it took a world war to stop Hitler.

It's gone too far, and now it's like a runaway train.

10 years ago...I could see this coming.

People in my acquaintance laughed at me. Asked me what I was smoking.

And now here we are.

The best we can do at this point is to help each other out. Gain strength from each other...and maybe we can somehow pull through this.

I can tell you're upset...I'm sorry. I am too. Losing sleep. In a fighting mood, a lot of adreniline...furious. It's awful.
