Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

The war on nature, based on invented facts is now a culture Wars format being used for political gain everywhere.

We need both nature and facts. All of us.
