Will there be anything to salvage?
I typed in November 2016 that many lawsuits should be filed in anticipation that Trump would defy or simply ignore the Constitution. This would have solidified the underpinnings of the Constitution and legal structures of Democracy in an attempt to preserve the fragile system we have. Clearly my admonitions were ignored which brings us to this point in history, when Trump has effectively and almost completely ignored and sidestepped the Constitution. He has appointed unqualified boot licking sycophants who will lie cheat and steal for him. In one of the most egregiously blatant acts against the Constitution, Trump has accepted an emolument in direct contradiction to the Constitution and there is not a single thing anyone ... ANYONE ... can do about it. Congress will not investigate much less impeach over it, and the DoJ has already condoned trampling on the Constitution. And yet we still have pundits clutching their pearls whimpering ... the courts ... the courts.
Obre los ojos!!!! We are already living under a dictator.
