We’ve had checks & balances & separation of powers embedded into the founding of our national govt specifically because the Framers anticipated that some day an executive might come along like Trump. For over 2 centuries we have also had judicial review. It’s all under siege now.

Just because it is in plain sight does not mean it is not what it is: A hostile takeover of the U.S. government by an unelected and unfettered power monger. Believe what you see, do not see what you believe.

The US constitution was built to avoid centralized power and tyranny.
It is not the constitution that is failing us.
It is the partisans who have promised to uphold the constitution that are failing us.

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: “We grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

being abusive is about the only qualification needed for Trump's cabinet picks/ that and a willingness to 'kiss the ring'.
SCOOP from @davidcorn.bsky.social :
RFK Jr. secretly recorded his second wife during their bitter divorce fight and in one conversation acknowledged he was "polygamous." One recording might have violated state law. It's a messy saga that ended with her suicide. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
