The implosion has been unfolding lightening fast, unprecedented in history. And the last line is here: if/when he begins to openly defy court orders, with no consequence: the first episode would mark and signify the formal end of American democracy and the rule of law. Yes you made it all the way here, laughing and watching sitcoms under incessant droning of lying propaganda drowning thinking, integrity and morality. "Where the law ends, tyranny begins". America can travel back in time decades or centuries but she won't discover anything new here.

A psychotic raper first raped his victim under a bad sheriff. Then a good sheriff came and he continued to rape, daily, with no consequence. That would be the difference, right there? In what world? Be careful when you decide to part with your brain - it can happen to be irreversible. Yeah and wean yourself off the lying "news" only a friendly tip to keep your sanity.

You're forgetting one but very significant factor directly related to this case. I'm not going to give any further hints, because blind won't see, deaf won't hear and so on. Wanna try... connecting with the reality? You can agree with a fairy unicorn with exactly same credibility. In the absence of any objective evidence supporting your point, and some directly contradicting it. He was President while Putin waged his war in Ukraine, for the entire time of his first term. Any chance of connection?

Mark Carney will march us straight into an American disaster

Note the same pattern: smear and fear. If not smear, then fear. We have all the opportunities to watch in real time what bombastic liars can and will do when they get to the power. Nothing good, once. Disastrous, less than a month in, the second. Not a single fresh, novel idea. No clear plans. Just sign here and wait for miracles to come your way. What, again? -
There's something very wrong with: Denmark and Greenland, Canada, Mexico, the entire Europe and European Union, South Africa, International Criminal Court, I'm sure list will grow wide and fast. And who/what is on the other, true side? 1. MAGA and its lackeys in the United States. 2. Putin and his pocket Russia. Is the picture clear enough already? Anything to add?

Well I thought the earlier was thoughtless enough but look there's a lower bottom. Is that your new standard of polemics, and what if a star-eyed fairy unicorn did that? Maybe, just a thought! there was a reason Biden did nothing of the kind, and no sane individual of integrity and principles would?

"A Russian drone attack has hit the radiation shelter over the damaged reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said". BBC: Chernobyl reactor shield hit by Russian drone, Ukraine says There can't be any mistake or coincidence: this happens within hours of the treacherous and unforgivable advances to an international terrorist, war criminal and a full analog of Hitler in this century. "This would never have happened?" Except it does, right before our eyes. Only the dumbest converts of an authoritarian cult would take another bullsh*t lie from an empty shell having an appearance of a human but completely devoid of any compassion, integrity and responsibility over their own eyes and conscience. And the Republicans as enablers and full participants of this shame and travesty. In the eyes of the entire world, and the history as long as it will last. Nothing can be hidden. And not a thing will go away.

Historians, researchers, students and general folk will no longer have to ask and wonder how it could happen in a presumably, civilized country. The answer is right before our eyes: the Republican party. This is how. No need to explain, or add anything just one word. Synonymous, now and from now on. Mussolini and Hitler build their parties from outcast fanatics. But there will be one and first textbook example of a formerly meaningful and even proud political party decaying and degrading to the point where it first enabled then embraced authoritarianism and fascism. And all of this has already been written in the history. And none of what was written in it can be erased. If there can be a comeback from this level of decay and shame, I haven't a slightest idea what it could be and look like.

In a multi-party system, that has meaning only with proportional, every vote counts, representation a citizen disenchanted in one party can choose any other, from a dozen or more. In a binary one, they are forced to sign to the alter ego one. It is not a rational choice anymore, but that of despair, choosing not the option that is best but between two bad ones. Will you choose a meh contractor over a bad one for a serious renovation job? Or would check a long list for the best one? And you think politics, managing our public assets is less important? This system is grossly inadequate to this age. It erodes then destroys democracy. Modernization is not optional, it's a matter of continuation of democracy and the rule of law. Not a theory - observe it in real time next door.

Less than a month in: two of the three branches of government completely disintegrated as responsible institutions of democracy. The third one is holding on just barely, 50/50: what is the meaning of "justice" if it cannot be enforced? That's 83.3% democracy degradation level, quantitatively. To be continued.

You hoped to control him? But this is how he breaks you. He didn't ask for your opinion. He has no need for it. And he fully expects that you'll cower and do anything he'll point his finger to. From here. Just like the other ones you read about (maybe) in the dusty books did. No escape for you: stand here - or sink in the slimy shame and disgust, for generations. That was the logical progression all along, you knew it and the time is up.

So Trump sided with Putin, the war criminal and a totalitarian aggressor of the ilk of Hitler in our world. That is of small surprise. But it means that the time is up for the Republicans: no, you will not sit it out and come back to any kind of normality, from here. Only an act, clear and strong will excuse you from the deepest circles of shame and infamy - and make no mistake, in history, for generations. Just like those who enabled and cheered to Hitler a century back. Unlike brain- and conscience-free specimen above you have to know it. There's nowhere to run, and you can't wait. Yes, it's due: now.

Seriously, what is wrong with those people? Leviticus 19:11-13 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV) “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God..." Republican introduces an amendment allowing for the third term Total stupidity meets total moral corruption in Rep. Carter. Republican introduces bill to rename Greenland. "Carter, who is considering a bid for Senate next year, sought to raise his profile by introducing a bill Tuesday that would authorize President Donald Trump to purchase Greenland and rename it “Red, White and Blueland.” I don't think it's some weird epidemics, no. Rather more likely that they've been this way for a while, years or even decades. And now the constraints, the hardship of having to pretend any minimal standard of integrity are gone and look, they are free! to display their stupidity and ugliness in full light before the whole world and take no shame in it, proudly. If only it resolves itself somehow, what a wealth of material for generations of scholars in moral and psychological corruption. There will be books written and countless lectures read about these fine specimen of decay and decomposition, live and alive. What could be the chance of that though?

This is bad, really. Quite possibly the resounding silence means that they understand full well what they spawned and engineered, and I mean the formal political system as a whole without differentiation and really, have no clue what to do with it or about it. Whistle away tread business as usual and hope it won't turn too bad and/or even fix itself anyhow. But what could be the real and rational grounds for the hope?

You're parroting the good dogma thoughtlessly just as the opposite side does it with the bad one. From your perspective, and theirs is diametrically opposite. With dogmas it's like that you know. A ten, twelve or even fourteen year old may not yet understand fully the notions of gender and sexuality. How could they grasp the idea of changing it by choice? What does it mean I'm a girl wanting to be a boy before I had a chance to feel and figure out what it is? A fairy tale. Stupid, irresponsible and harmful, factually. The time to expose and reflect on these issues is after they had at least some experience and established some foundation in these complex matters, not brainwash them cluelessly in a coined ideological agenda exposing to real, including material physical risks. Brainless left tries to wrap it as "inclusion" but it has little to do with responsible, grown up way of "live and let live". It's just sheer dogma they want to keep drumming and impose on the society for higher goodness even against its will. Of course it will backfire. How wouldn't it?
