      Not at all. Political enemies of the Trump clan will be checked and balanced at every turn.

      People in power should learn that these social contracts and norms are a peacekeeping measure and violating every single one isn’t a good way to keep the population peaceful.

        Exactly. America was born as a nation because last time someone tried some bullshit like this we shot them all dead and moved out.

        We’ve seen an awful lot of history repeating itself these days.

        If they’re smart they’ll take the hint. But we all know how likely that is.

      I can’t believe that this whole time it was just “please play by the rules” and that it was basically only enforced via tradition.
