Trump has smashed through on all the established norms 44 other presidents followed. He’s told Congress, a co-equal branch, to go pound sand. With Attorney General William Barr — his Roy Cohn — whispering the sweet melody of “unitary executive” in his ears, Trump is doing his best imitation of The Hulk, as goes about smashing and shredding all things Constitutional.
Our electoral system in this country is shot full of holes. It is unstable, unreliable, and fragile. It is extremely vulnerable. It is unconstitutional because it is unfair.
Revolution isn't a war. It is an agreement. Revolution can never come from above, from "governments." War almost always does.

Republicans will be able to block, individually, any new witnesses. They will do this with every important witness. That's a rigged trial.
There have to be limits on power. If there are none, then evil men and women will use fear, brute force, and nationalism to enslave us.
