Does it matter? The fascists control congress, the supreme court and the clown in chief?
Checks and balances are gone. The constitution has been relegated to toilet paper dooty.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Trump Is Going After the Independence of the Entire Legal Profession, Not Just Big Law
(www.theunpopulist.net)
The only thing I have faith in is the incompetence of the people attempting to actually enact this coup.
There's enough brain cells to just do violence to get what they want.
Ask that question again when you are trying to find a lawyer to sue the government for you.
None of these actions, activities and events are the work of one man .... he doesn't have that much power ... he's not a god and he is not a king
All of this made possible because a large community of people in government in every party and level of government, supporters and enablers are all either supporting or allowing all this .... or entire communities of professionals who are just standing aside and letting it all happen.
He's a god. An evil one. Humanity creates gods when they worship ideas. Donald Trump isn't a man, he's an idea, festering in the minds of millions of people. His power comes from that belief and reverence. His followers commit all these crimes in his name, and THAT is what it means to be a god.
If ya tell people enough times that the gubment rigs the system they just let you do it.
So? The Courts have REPEATEDLY shown they're UNWILLING to Put Up with Trump's Nonsense! If he goes forward with this plan he can be SURE they'll send MANY STERN LETTERS!
It might be good to point out that Trump's teeth are probably fake. You are looking at a bag of old wet Cheetos and letting it reconfigure every part of our lives.
Independence of lawyers? Their entire existence relies on the state.
Was nice knowing ya, Murica
