I wish I live in another timeline. But this is what we got and we gotta do what we can to save it.

We obviously need many upgrades.

The best way to get some value out of this total fiasco with the Orange Thing, et al, is to start investigating the obvious vulnerabilities in our governing system and getting some good minds on reforming and changing what has been revealed.

Consider the current Administration as malicious hackers who have revealed potential flaws that make an upgrade essential.

That way, it won't all be for naught and just a long, major cleanup operation...again.

Every Democratic candidate needs to be saying that if they win and get a majority Senate, they will expand the court and appoint more Democrats.

Yes, the Republicans will do it too. GOOD! Let’s disempower this overpowered and undemocratic institution.
