ah, botox explains it. i didn't know that about him.
he's truly a cardboard character of grifters in general.
seriously though, the above arguments are really interesting.
im not making a comparison of america's federal governing system vs. other countries' systems, as i don't know enough info in total to make a useful comparison.
so just talking about USA's federal governing system right now.
if there is one thing that the trump presidency has shown, its that the ways that the Executive branch can stymie ALL attempts (stymie here means: totally shut out completely, or, just delay the entire process for years and years and years; ignoring subpoenas of all kinds and levels, etc etc).
ignoring or finding ways around traditional sole powers given to the House (for allocating money) etc.
so there is a dilemma for America at this crossroads.
is a governmental system that has (pretty much admitted) dictators in place the best way to govern in the 21st Century, or, is a system that allows itself to be stymied at every turn for years, the best.
i don't know.
but what has proven does not work (for the people, that is), is for the president to be able to appoint a corrupt religious bigot as Attorney General, install political appointees to all key posts, ruin the CDC, FDA, FBI, EPA, etc.
can america not be able to do anything about this?
no political will to combat people like jared. do we think that the back channel he was caught trying to establish with the russians was never realised ?
the r party is heavily seeing russia as a like-minded (i did not say fellow traveler) tool that fights for retaining white domination. this is the common thread between putin's russia and trump people and the new r party.
Grassly of Iowa supposedly made his fame in putting into place Watchdogs, etc.
it hasn't worked, when they can be fired and lackeys put in.
there is absolutely nothing stopping any president from doing all of these things now.
the dam has been broken. it will not be able to be forgotten or considered an anomaly.
the American Voter list is too full of people who don't seem to be able to have a lot of discretion or logical thinking.
i know its a criticism, but after 4 years of this guy, and the dems are just barely ahead in the polls, it means the disafected ranks of old white men clinging desperately to power, and a major political party having made itself into a Q anon front, have been able to subvert the will of the actual American majority time and time again.
it is for sure:
in this upcoming election, america will get the government it deserves - whichever way.
