21. If anybody in Trump-world wanted to actually follow the law, hey could start with

the Federal Records Act of 1950.

As this thread states, their intent is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. They have no intention of following any laws. Their only interest is in breaking laws in ways that will be difficult to prosecute if we ever again have a government operating under the rule of law.

There has been much angst about whether we will ever again have a real election. Good question, but the problem is so much greater than that. And we are already there. We have no judicial system. The lower courts, bless their hearts, are still acting like laws mean something, but Trump-world just ignores them, and the SCOTUS is in their bunker hoping they don't ever have to rule on any of that because:

* If they rule against Trump, he will declare the whole court system dead, and it will be

* It they rule for Trump, then the court system will be dead of its own hand.

* There is no third option that preserves any role for the courts unless Trump suddenly decides to be a completely different person from who he has been the past 78 years.
