This government has fully failed its people. It's only downhill from here

Where are the comparisons now to Xi, Putin, and such?

One country being shittier doesn't make other shitty countries better.

I'll probably get downvoted for having some hope (cope?) in thinking that Trump really does represent an extreme and not a new normal. There's no way future DOJ will enforce this asinine "forever" stipulation. In a sane world it would jump them to the top of the list as soon as new leadership is installed, and I do actually think we are going to head back to at least a slightly more sane world

If he can just invent a new law that says he has total immunity, then the next president can just invent a new law that takes it away.
