Checks & balances is what our democracy was founded on

It's gone. DOn't believe a word a republican Senator says they are all full of shit. Want proof? Look what moderate republicans did in the house on health care. Disgusting.

McConnell, Graham, even Burr are putting on a horse & pony show.

This is where we are at. Now we need to figure out where we need to go to right a vicious wrong to the that's been done to the U.S. Constitution.

respecting checks and balances, the judicial system and the traditional deference to the Supreme Court, as well as other institutions like the press, et al. That may have been our folly. This man is not normal.his administration is not normal. Their lack of rationality and truth are not normal.

I was listening to a review (no link, I don't remember where) about how fascia
ists and totalitarians have come to power. Do not count on our institutions to save us.
