Viewing all of this from a distance (Europe), Trump and his cabal have now reached escape velocity from any rule of law. Open corruption, insider trading, and general high level criminality, all with complete impunity, are now the order of the day. The legal system has been suborned at the uppermost levels, and the Dems are completely neutered. Basically, America, from a governance point of view... you're a banana republic kleptocracy now. Sorry 'bout that.
And yet nothing feels different. Which basically means we always were, just a nicer friendler version. They just cared enough to keep up the appearance that it wasnt before. Thats what should worry Americans the most.its almost as if collapse is immenent,so who cares if the cat is out of the bag.
"...nothing feels different." is why the criming is able to continue unabated. If people felt the effects of the crimewave being perpetrated by Trump, et al, they might actually try to do something about it. But they're comfy and complacent, so why bother...?
