Projection is protection. Sift through any Trump or Trump adjacent legal pronouncements, actions, or musings and you’ll end up with a pile of evidence of Trump wrongdoing. As cruelty is the point, accusations are the smokescreen for the most serious Trumpian offenses and crimes. Trump has a pathological need to throw yellow snowballs while his zipper is down.

The ability to pardon anyone and everyone needs to be reviewed- Trump has gotten out of control with his pardons and this needs to be investigated!

MAGA says we have TDS, Trump Derangement Syndrome. But it's pretty obvious that trump has BDS, Biden Derangement Syndrome.

Placing every presidents' picture on a wall, but using the auto-pen as Biden's picture is indicative of trump's mentally certifiable behavior.

As to "Will we have a country after all of this?" -- well, on one hand we still had a country after the Civil War, but on the other hand it was slipping away a dozen years later. And, apart from a few "brief, shining moments" like the New Deal and the civil rights acts of the 1960s, the slippage has continued. Trump II is the country's equivalent of an alcoholic or addict hitting bottom. Thanks to the Roberts Court, starting in earnest with Citizens United v. FEC (2010) and Shelby County v. Holder (2013), economic power has been eating democracy alive -- and if you lived through the Reagan administration, you know it didn't start with the Roberts Court.

I keep comparing the mess we're in to the Augean Stables of mythical fame. Are "we the people" capable of doing the work of Hercules, cleaning them out? Damned if I know. We can't divert the Potomac to do the job, so we'll have to come up with alternatives.

I had to look up where the acceptance of a pardon is implication of guilt, an here it is:

Associate Justice Joseph McKenna, writing the majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case Burdick v. United States, a pardon is "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it.

Trump is a disgrace, and that we the people have not coalesced into a seething mass of angry constituents banging on our Representatives and Senators doors demanding his removal will be to our everlasting shame. No Kings Day was a start..we must increase the noise exponentially and get this abomination out of office
