The Imperial Presidency

[classicdrogn]

History is not a story, stuck in the past, where nothing can hurt you.

Something that both sides should really keep in mind. Alas, the ledties havemade it a point of dultural identity out of pretending that the age of violence as an instrument of political change is ended, despite plentiful evidence to the contrary both in the world at large and directly in our own righties. I won't say it's impossible to reverse course by peaceful, democratic means yet, but it's further away than it was on Nov 4.

As for being on Team Felon In Chief fetting you any special consideration, the idea is laughable. All being part of Trump's "in" group makes you is an easy scapegoat, and even in that group you can't ecpect him to homor any deal or agreementm, just ask the lawyers and contractors he stiffed on paying.

You can't do business with him, you can't even believe a word he says, so any compromise is capitulation - he'll take and take and never live up to the bargain, and the current Republicrim party gleefully follows suite.
