Except we know they won’t except for crying about how they can’t live on their salary despite working way less than most of us do yet somehow make way more than most of us and get free benefits for life.

I’m pretty sure the founders have been continuously insulted over the past few years.
And our only hope is the remaining couple dozen not-totally-fucking-crazy GOP senators who are watching their buddies get picked off in suspicious primaries finally grow like two or three vertebrae and decide their country is worth more than a couple of oddly worded shoutouts in usually inappropriate contexts.
As low of a bar as that is, recent history has left me with little hope.

The founders literally designed the system around fear of one man accumulating unchecked power and money. Congress spent decades weakening itself, and now everyone acts surprised when presidents start operating like political machines instead of public servants.

Our rights have turned into a bill.

The founders were obsessed with preventing exactly this kind of executive power accumulation. A president controlling massive opaque funding streams while loyalists defend it as normal is not some small constitutional detail.

I dont see America putting up with this for two more years. America is tired, many are leaving and never coming back. I read an article that stated nearly 300k Americans have immigrated to Europe or elsewhere with no desire to return.
If I didnt have family, Id be entertaining the idea. Its not a good look when things like this keep happening every week, and all thats done is the usual quotes and finger waving from Democrats. The law isnt on our side, its been replaced with a system that favors this administration, along with most other venues that would normally pump the breaks on Trump.

No, it needs to stay.
And the tax untouchable status too.
and the ballrooom bunker.
It all must stay as a testament.
Testament of USA collapse.

Donald Trump and his MAGA cult are an insult to the founders.

The Republicans were already trying to figure out how to put guardrails up to make it more palatable to the public. The AG Blanche told them they could be eligible for a payout if their phones were subpoenaed by Jack Smith. They are all complicit in robbing the treasury. Republicans are the problem.

No fair! The ghost of the founding fathers is only to be invoked for the purpose of right wing ideology!

*Oh. And they made the amount 1776.
Contact your members of Congress all day, every day so they come back next week to insanity. Well, a different kind of insanity.
