that when he blinks, trumps ears wiggle.
It seems desperately sad that our nation has come to this crossroads. We have a president that knows no loyalty to any, just to himself, thinks no law applies to him and no court holds sway over him. An attorney general who will go down in history as an expletive deleted.
We have a Republican Party that enables the presidents predilection towards Fascism, White nationism and harbors neo nazi ideals. A political party that once upon a time was the flagship of patriotism and law and order. No longer. Seeing an unrestrained anti constitutionalist president seemingly defy all control, they want the same empowerment for themselves. They have become the week underbelly of a simpleton president.
This crisis is heading for a climax that may or may not solve the most fundamental of questions. That being what kind of nation are we to be? But it will shred the curtain behind which the scoundrels have engaged in their worst harms to this nation. History will not be kind to those have wallowed in constitutional betrayal for self enrichment.
