What Trump is doing is illegal, yet Congress, GOP and Dem, just seem to shrug. Even many of the American people seem to be shrugging. Some out of fealty to Trump, some (like me) out of a sense of hopelessness since the people who have the POWER to do something, aren't.

IMO, we've crossed the Rubicon, and there is no going back. We aren't in danger of losing our Democracy, we already have.

I'm just a ray of sunshine, aren't I?
