they are not approaching it.

Their goal is to bring down the government. It is a coup.

They change the rules to suit them but they have the vested power to do that, too.

This is the best example I can think of to show that our Constitution is woefully outmoded. No small group of demagogues should be able to hold a gun to the country's collective head.

Yet here we are.

such actions?

A merry band of reality challenged sociopaths make up rules to benefit themselves and are a major determent to the country and that is alright with you?

Got it!

'Reality challenged sociopaths'? Even that doesn't do justice to what they have done. But they have the power to do whatever the fuck they want. Our 18th century founders gave them that power.

And the imbeciles who elected them gave them that power.
