The rule of law is damn near dead after tonight...

tRump can and will pardon whoever the hell he wants. All those in his criminal empire are rejoicing because even if they're caught up in the Russia investigation, tRump will hand out pardons like candy.

If congress can flip to Dem, then it's over for tRump.

Still keeping hope close.

effective opponents. They need a unified voice and they need to work together as a group to condemn Trump's words and actions.
