I post this mostly as a periodic reminder to myself that it wasn't that long ago that the rule of law and the constitution prevailed. I hope it will again in my lifetime.

    @mattblaze It will, unless you plan on dying sometime in the next 18 months. The only question I think will be whether the orange harangutan gets impeached or the GOP invalids him out to avoid impeachment. I've given up on him stroking out, they must have him on some Golden Throne-type life-support for him to have lasted this long.

    @mattblaze I was thinking about that this morning. There is so much corruption, so much cruelty, so many lives are being viciously upended with complete impunity.All those ICE officers will never face a jury. All those grifters will get away with enriching themselves at our expense. No one is going to be held accountable for the hundreds of thousands of children who have died due to USAID cuts.It's not fair. It's not just. And it's all legal. This IS the rule of unjust law.
