Saddest thing about the inauguration…
ALL of Trump’s allies fall into two categories:
1) Unethical grifters who don’t give a damn about the U.S.; and/or
2) Cowards who privately know that he is old, crazy, immoral, inept, stupid, and unfit to be president.
But they fear him.
These may overlap.

Trump can use the Insurrection Act to call out the troops when he wants to call out the troops. He can declare an invasion and dare the courts to disagree. His powers aren't as broad as a South Korean president’s power, but they are dangerous to American democracy. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/05/o...
