    What exactly are people supposed to do to stop it? It turns out all the enforcement mechanisms we were taught about in school were nothing more than gentlemen’s agreements.

      Exactly the only thing the Trump expose just how much or government rules and laws and the constitution are just pieces of paper that don’t enforce nothing.

        Yup. They’re all rules, but if enough people stop following the rules the whole thing falls apart. In this case the real enforcement mechanism is impeachment and removal, but that obviously isn’t happening any time soon.

      “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is. I don’t know.”
