Why is this even possibly legal and why doesn't congress impeach his sorry ass?

    Potus has had way too much power ever since the Patriot Act (after 9/11).* It's barely a democracy anymore, and frankly it's a miracle that it took over 20 years before one took full advantage of what is "a broken system".

    I'm sure there's more nuanced explanation in this specific case but ultimately it comes down to this: the US legal system is more holes than cheese.

    Only 2 ways out for the US - become a full blown autocracy like China or Russia, or Civil War, i agree.

    Nowadays it really feels like pieces are being moved across a large Risk board. Would be more fun if it were the Lord of the Rings Risk variant tho.
