You're just trying to be realistic given the power of the moneyed GOP and the PTB.

I think and hope you're wrong. Then I wonder how headlines like this will come to resolution:
"Saudis gave the U.S. $360b in deals. Now they want Trump to rescind 9/11 lawsuit law."

Its resolution will be very telling about our dinner (your analogy), our laws, and the direction of this country. I want to be optimistic. It's the only thing that keeps me holding on.

I say Trump cannot trump our courts and laws in the long-term. And the media is helping us in this fight, finally.
