A country without the Rule of Law

Since the day Fuckwad took office we have had no check on his actions.
What is happening today with the SCOTUS rulings should not be a surprise.
This country no longer has any effective agency that acts to contain the unlawfulness.
Not Congress, not SCOTUS not Justice. No Government agency.

And the worst is still ahead of us.

Winning the House could put some restrictions on Trump, but unless we regain power in 2020, this country is sunk.

just a fight for survival.

This is likely going to become even more true if the global economy is significantly disrupted by the Orange Nightmare's idiotic trade wars.

I guess that must be what Republicans want, though...everyone for themselves, and the government just there to protect the interests of the wealthy.
