The thing that bothers me most about the 45* presidency

Is that it's setting a precedence for future bad actors. The longer the GOP allows the ass-hat in the White House to erode our Constitution and commit crimes without punishment, the more likely it is that future politicians will feel emboldened to do the same thing.

I mean, what's to stop them other than their own morals? If the members of Congress aren't going to step in and protect the Constitution as they've sworn to do, what's the point of having a Constitution any more?

is that republicans WILL point to 45, with their half witted media whores going for the ride, to say "we just saw what full party control will do, we can't let democrats have full power!"
