I guess we're going to have to send six of the SCOTUS justices to be judged as well

The tragedy is that this was all foreseeable--perhaps not the exact actions Trump has taken in his second term, but the trajectory He left office the first time with a 34% approval rating! Surely there were reasons 2/3 of the country was dissatisfied!!!

While some may be able to enjoy sports betting recreationally, too many people slip into financial precarity/ruin and the companies that facilitate it are all too willing to prey on those people It's a pox on society and should be regulated from here to kingdom come or made illegal again

It was impeachable the first time he said it, and it's impeachable again now Any Congress worth its salt would rush back to DC to impeach, convict, and remove this bastard before the day is out Sadly, we have quite possibly the most feckless Congress in history at present...

Ah yes, just as the Founders intended, the president gets to unilaterally cut off trade with specific countries [Touches ear] What's that? A dusty old relic called the Constitution gave the power to "regulate Commerce with foreign Nations" to something called a Congress?

This is correct The problem is that we all underestimated how flatfooted and spineless the opposition party and civil society institutions would be in the face of the initial assault, which would have gotten us to this quagmire position much sooner (with less damage) bsky.app/profile/davi...
