Poor "Shrub" Bush...it's slipping away...

4. I remember, thinking back on it, believing that W was just impossibly awful at the time; I had no idea

That W could be exceeded in awfulness, I could understand, if it was some kind of minor incremental change. No, this trump guy is orders of magnitude more awful than W. In every way. I mean, it's kind of impressive and overwhelming what F47 has done to this once-great nation, like a kaiju monster tearing up a city Pacific Rim style. Once this regime ends, we may well need a complete overhaul of the founding documents to ensure this idiocy doesn't happen again. At minimum, we need a constitutional amendment making explicitly clear which specific circumstances permit a president to ignore certain laws in very specific ways without consequence. ("Enjoy your legal consequences" should be the default.)

Americans (hell, humanity generally) really need to come together to decide what kind of world we want our grandchildren to live in and find a way to get started on it, preferably before it's all too late -- which might already be the case.
