Republicans in Congress could end all of this madness, treason, and sedition in 10 minutes if they wanted to.
It's not just Trump, it's the entire conservative machine.
Calling them "conservative" is pretty generous, seeing as they've been outright regressive for at least 10 years at this point.
No, this is what conservatism is in the US. It's definitely not Conservative, but it's American Conservative, which means regressive, authoritarian, racist/misogynist, bootlicking, plutophilic.
Don’t forget pedophilic as well
That is what conservatism has always been since its inception during the French Revolution.
This piece of shit would sell his country to Russia if he had personal gain in it. Oh, wait.
Where are all those Republicans who investigated Hillary’s email server? Surely this is much more damning.
The Signal situation was much more damning. But at this point is clear it was all a red herring.

Something. Something, Rule of Law...
The Rule OF Law strives to maintains the dignity of the individual.
The Rule OF Law is supposed to lift law above politics.
The idea is that the law should stand above every powerful person and agency in the land.
.
The Rule of Law has been replaced by the Rule by Law.
.
The Rule BY Law strives to control the individual.
The Rule BY law, in contrast, connotes the instrumental use of law as a tool of political power.
It means that the state uses law to control its citizens but tries never to allow law to be used to control the state.
The Rule BY law is associated with the debasement of legality by authoritarian regimes, China for example.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
