The daily drama unfolds, and we are still putting up with it.

We're going to sit back and watch a drama unfold to distract us while the Trump administration steals us blind to give billionaires a tax cut, dismantling vital government programs and services which are the obligation of government to provide, which human morality and collective American values say are not for sale to the highest bidder, and are not the kind of human need off of which someone should profit. Along with those things, our personal freedom is also being stolen away, our constitution, and with it the rights that it bestows on we, the people and the limits it imposes on government.

If this President has the kind of power to do the things that the news media reports he is planning to do, or threatening to do, then we, the people, have permitted a Presidency to go way beyond the powers that the founding fathers ever intended the chief executive of the United States government ever to have. We have failed our basic Civics education course, we have an electorate that is increasingly unaware of the way this particular constitutional democracy works, and has accepted the lies and deceit that are the result of a partisan spirit that has divided this country in preparation for its conquest.

We have seen an incredible display of some of the most incredible ignorance and deception that has ever occurred in the history of this country. We are watching the dismantling of democratic government right before our eyes, with some of the most incompetent, unqualified, demented and psychologically disabled individuals in charge of our homeland security, our military, our treasury department, and the health and welfare of American citizens.

And as the realization has now grown to the point, among we, the people, that we are seeing a political disaster unfold, and that we must put a stop to it before much more time passes, we are now watching two egomaniacs have a personal falling out that is helping to attract attention away from the major economic disaster that is right around the corner, if not here already. I mean, we can't trust the figures this government puts out, because it is not an honest government.

of democratic government and seeing a political disaster unfold the consequence of voters’ fear, ignorance, and stupidity.

And we’ll continue to put up with it the consequence of citizens’ fear, ignorance, and stupidity.

The people are solely responsible for the bad government they get – and with Trump, the people sought out the very worst.

The justice system has long been out of reach of effectiveness in preventing crime on this level. Something is seriously wrong and dysfunctional, to allow a criminal like this to even run for President, much less get elected.

We had the chance to pack the court and put a stop to it in 2020, and Democrats lost their nerve, resolve and probably weren't all that committed to a solution anyway.

But maybe Moran getting disconnected from ABC news is a good thing, and now he can be independent and tell the truth.

what they SHOULD think twice about is continuing to work for a "news" outlet, or university, or law firm that bends to the will of the authoritarian - FUCK THAT
