Peace and love, humans. Let's engage in respectful discussion/dialogue. Maybe, just maybe we can form an alliance and compromise that works for all of us. We need to stay engaged. That's what makes it work. If we don't, we get what we have now.

There were no drones.
No mothership.
No invasion.
Just airplanes, blurry cameras, and a political ecosystem that profits from panic and never apologizes when it’s wrong.

If the founders of our country had intended for their leader to be above the law, they would have created a monarchy with an explicit provision that the monarch is above the law. Instead, they created a president, equal before law, with provisions for the president's removal if necessary.
