Ayn Rand wrote about how violating the truth that A is A will destroy wealth creation in the long run, and how moochers could use gov't power to enrich themselves at the expense of others. She failed to envision that the violators and moochers would be the ilk of maga (which desecrates their hero).

1. Last week, there were 3 Trump corruption scandals in 4 days that would define any other presidency.
Most people are probably not even AWARE of all three scandals.

It's been an open question whether the law would be a productive arena in which to battle the Trump administration and I think we can now conclude that the answer is: Not really.

Cross the Courts Off the List
We have enough information to conclude that the law won't save us.

We fought the good fight from emoluments to impeachment to criminal prosecution but Congress failed us and the Supreme Court has been fully complicit. We must keep invoking the lower courts’ fidelity to law but will need massive political mobilization.

Journalists are trying to understand Trump’s irrational behavior, and are generally unwilling to consider the possibility that it's not some grand strategy, but a madman with increasingly diminished mental faculties.
There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.
His defenders try to apply reason to his erratic, nonsensical decisions. That’s a fool’s errand—but fools abound in this administration.
