    There’ll be plenty of ceremony. Years of it. Everyone will fix things slowly and methodically and everything will be half repaired by the time the next doofus comes to break things. assuming there is a next doofus and we won’t simply turn into the holy trumplican empire.

      I agree with you, except for the time line. The next competent leader will need to (on inauguration) executive order the shit out of these repairs as well as enact permanent laws that stop this shit using checks and balances. It’s not working when 100% of the house, congress, executive, and scotus are sucking orange cock.

      Rules need to change and be codified. This was our warning. Don’t wait for more fascist bullshit.

      Don’t make laws to oppose Dump. Make laws that keep things clear with no loopholes, and oppose the greedy fucking shit heads to include major corporations.

      • The issue is that the loopholes were cultivated for the purposes that trump is using them for. But he’s using them to create his own, unique keys to power. These aren’t niggling mistakes, they’re holes punched into the US’s power structure to be able to serve a regime’s keys to power. The keys to power in the US are wealthy people, for the most part. Elections cost money! Huge sums of it. And companies have that money. You can’t get elected without it. Necessary key to gain power.

        Removing something your keys to power like is hard to do without losing them.
