It's becoming quite clear that our laws and Constitution mean very little and are failing us

otherwise, at least half of the Trump administration would be behind bars now and he would be about to be sentenced and barred from ever holding any office of public trust and no one arrested for taking part in the Jan 6 insurrection would be free now.

The Constitution and rule of law are basically a gentleman’s agreement. We see what happens when we don’t have honorable people in positions of leadership. Тяцмр showed just how vulnerable the entire structure is. He refused to go along and no one knew what to do. The entire GQP saw it and is acting accordingly.

We’re still hanging by a thread.
