The founders never imagined that two branches would concede their power to the other.

happy enough to see him live long enough to watch the next Democratic President and Congress IMMEDIATELY tear down and restore original names to everything he changed or built in tribute to himself. Arch and Ballroom - BOOM - implode them. Bring in a huge dumpster (a cybertruck would work nicely) to dispose of all that hideous cheap gold shit he put in the WH. Take a jackhammer to all that ugly concrete and restore the Kennedy Rose Garden and remove his stupid name from the Kennedy Center. Get rid of it all!!

Destroy everything he touched and ruined. Make him watch his self proclaimed honor and legacy go down like he did with the East Wing. Then he can stroke out while tweeting his rage. Aahhhh, good times...

back to the upper regions. What passes for a heart is now under stress. Hence, 3 "annual" physical exam in the last 17 months.

tell their little emperor his clothes are the best on the planet, or if there is indeed some mental-health line he'll cross that even the blindest cannot look away from.

Knowing them, knowing him... he could pee from the stage into a potted plant as Vance tells him how great he is, Johnson says, "I don't really know what pee and potted plants are, so I can't comment on it" and the base pops open another over-priced can of domestic tranquility and views his wardrobe through Newer, Better, Faster trump Beer Goggles (gilded plastic, of course).

We can't go back, only forward, and that might be a good thing. After all, the last thing this country needs are more paper profit billionaires.

But this can and likely will happen again with a new populist/demagogue. It appears that a specific demographic of our country (35%) is gullible as hell and will have learned nothing from this turn to fascism. And by demographic, I am specifically referring to evangelical Christians.
