Strong words: tottering on the edge of dicatorship… Hyperbole, or reality?

But yeah, the passivity of people who could influence the debate right now is staggering. Maybe the so-called checks and balances, which should prevent the current situation, have been broken since a long time, and in this hour of need, suddenly everyone realises that they don’t work?

It’s not hyperbole, it’s understatement.

Maybe, yes. Parts of the democratic structure have already gone down at this point, so it’s probably more than just tottering on the edge…

Oh good grief, the emoluments clause was dead and buried in 2017. Penny ante stuff by Trump 2.0 standards

Trump won the election bigly so all these 75% of the country are actually his voters.

Yesterday Leavitt took a question about how Trump’s policies are helping Republicans in congress win reelection and she answered it, while in her role as WH Spokesperson. That is a brazen violation of the Hatch Act.

Not a word was uttered.

I voted for this bill that has awful shit in it I dont believe in because I think only American Citizens should vote in elections, which is something that is already law and this bill does nothing to ensure.

You know how a serious person restores faith in elections? By absolutely rejecting the MAGA Big Lie this bill was based on.

Multiple browsers, still goes there.

EDIT: I have a suspicion it redirects there for all non-US visitors to kgw.com, or at least UK visitors.
