    Classic democratic party.

    Waiting until the last possible minute to begin pretending to protect Americans from the entitlements of billionaires.

    We knew Trump was running again

    We knew the media was sane washing everything Trump does, did, and will do

    He made specific promises to be a dictator and hinted at this being the last election

    He specifically promised to use the army domestically.

    Now, it’s almost a month after he won and Democrats are considering maybe doing something about framework regarding the army being used domestically.

    Both sides aren’t the same, but they’re both owned by the same people.

    Once upon a time Democrats could float the idea of capitulation to business interests to maintain Americans global business dominance. Nowadays any democrat who isn’t fully progressive on workers rights is just another flavor of corporate Greed.

    Any road block they can put in place is a good thing, this guy has no business using the military on his own citizens but that won’t stop him from trying

      And not because Trump is superhuman or something like that. It’s purely because american institutions and laws have nothing to stop his actions and the system only worked as it did due to gentlemen’s agreements that were in place by the so-called “establishment”. The president has way too much power in the USA and the naivety of US institutions in just hoping presidents would be decent is absolutely laughable.

      No wonder the one time the US tried to export its governance model, it failed miserably (Liberia)
