they got away with stealing Garland's seat.

rarely is justice served to those who deserve it. dick cheney still walks this earth.

the GOP controls all 3 branches of government, and even if November goes our way, they'll still control 2. sufficient to continue to get away with it.

But in terms of "getting away with it", the policies will not be 100% reversed because of legislative inertia. the RW judges will not be removed, and the damage to international relations will take years to repair.

Most of them (Trump, his family, his collaborators) will die comfy in their beds, a long time from now, having suffered not a whit for their actions now. Many will pollute our airwaves for decades.

Iraq was a straight-up war crime, a massive strategic blunder, 100% voluntary, and who's paid a price? Not one of them.

...no matter how much Trump and his wife want to pretend it's Congress' doing.

Yeah, they can vote to prohibit what he's doing, with no assurance his henchmen will obey any legislation. However, today, until Congress acts, responsibility and ability today, right now, rests with Trump.

he sounds more and more like a scared dictator who is about to lose. He needs to resign and take the gawd awful administration with him. In November, vote the GOP out.

None of them with the power to do so oppose him.

And most of the ones on the sidelines who make noise against him spent their entire careers building the party base that chose him.
