93. Thank you, choie.

For the thread and your repines.

Each time we allow government to get away with crimes, government becomes that much more emboldened. That much more likely to commit future crimes of the same nature since they know exactly what they can get away with.

If Trump gets away with his actions, a future president will try the same thing (conflicts of interest, foreign influence on elections and policy), actually trying to govern through executive fiat, by-passing both Congress and the courts. Attacking and neutering government offices designed to help the country and the people.

In my opinion, each time a president gets away with their crimes, America becomes weaker. Our checks and balances become meaningless, making us weaker. Congress bears most of the responsibility for that - for not holding presidents accountable when they should.
