Watergate made Richard Nixon resign....

From that (there's literally a memo about it in Nixons library) came Faux News.

Bill Clinton was the rise of neoliberalism. And a 35 year detour it took the democratic party down the same road Republicans took.

Before Slick Willy, Dems tried to hold politicians responsible.

So:

Every since Bill lied about sexually abusing his interns, there’s been this push to never hold any president accountable for anything, in office or after.

I stand by it, even the autocorrect typos.

I don't think it's a unique view that neoliberals act like Republicans and had a death grip on the party from 91-25.

We can't waste this opportunity now that they don't

I really want to see a new federal oversight agency for this shit.

You mean like ...gestures wildly at congress and scotus...?

If you put your coins, keys, and phone in the same pocket, your the keys are gonna scratch the phone and the coins aren't gonna do shit to stop it.

Same things happening here. They're all in the same pocket. That's your problem, right there.

The founders didn't really give the Presidency that many powers, things just kinda devolved that way over the years because Congress didn't want to make tough votes, e.g. the Vietnam war wasn't ever technically a war because Congress didn't want to own it by declaring one, so they just told Eisenhower/Kennedy/LBJ/Nixon to figure it out for them with a bunch of vaguely worded resolutions and lots of military funding in budgets.

Also, it is the founders' fault that they gave us a system with an undemocratic Senate where Wyoming gets as many votes as California that distorts everything in our politics because they wanted to protect the little state government fiefdoms they'd made for themselves.

They very carefully didn’t say this was a Christmas gift. They say they were “holiday gifts” and then say trump gives Christmas gifts.

As if it’s normal to give “Labor Day gifts” or whatever. Just the usual normalization of corruption and insanity.
