There is not a system on earth that can withstand the governing coalition simply deciding that they don't have to enforce the laws against themselves.
The Constitution doesn't have a law against a Trump because it assumes that a Trump would not be permitted by the unspoken rules of gentlemanly society to ascend to the Presidency.
And after January 6th, the Founders would have expected the mastermind to be, at least, in prison.

So much of our constitution was made worse by the incredibly wrong... I won't even call it belief, maybe "delusional hope" that we wouldn't have political parties, cults of personality, or enough bad (or just weak) actors in enough places to compromise checks and balances.

Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

New: Gov. Greg Abbott and Turning Point USA are launching a partnership to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every Texas high school campus.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools

Harris could have partnered with Jesus and she still wouldn't have won unless He magically made her a white man. You cannot campaign around bigotry because bigoted voters don't vote according to reason.
If Kamala Harris had picked Josh Shapiro as a running mate, she’d likely be President now.
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin almost always vote the same way in any given election. And she only barely lost these three states.
