The thing is, we can disagree about all kinds of policies, and still fundamentally agree on some basic principles of government. I think many of us have rediscovered that, which is one good thing that comes out of all this.
What's wild is that I'm not only just as solidly progressive and left leaning as ever, I'm in fact more left leaning and progressive as I've ever been *at the same time as* I haven't disagreed with anything that David Frum and Tom Nichols have said or written in the last decade. Thanks, Atlantic.

Yes, Trump is running America like his businesses: right into the ground.
We should jettison him while we're still able to recover.
We shouldn't let him financially or morally bankrupt this nation.

He Bankrupted His Casino. Now He's Bankrupting Our Country.
Throughout three presidential campaigns, people who’ve voted for Donald Trump have repeatedly have said they’ve so, in part, because he was a “successful businessman.”

We need language for a simple, easy to understand Constitutional amendment to overturn the USSC immunity decision. We need good language first, then start a campaign for it. Voters from all sides have an interest in not having a president (possibly from the other party) who is above the law.
