This government has fully failed its people. It's only downhill from here

Furthermore he declares base, and no whammies, and these shallow nuh-uhs will totally be legally binding as soon as his fat ass is gone.

I'll probably get downvoted for having some hope (cope?) in thinking that Trump really does represent an extreme and not a new normal. There's no way future DOJ will enforce this asinine "forever" stipulation. In a sane world it would jump them to the top of the list as soon as new leadership is installed, and I do actually think we are going to head back to at least a slightly more sane world

If he can just invent a new law that says he has total immunity, then the next president can just invent a new law that takes it away.
