American Members of Congress are panic-posting about Trump as if they're just observing everything like everyone else.
The irony of the whole situation is that THEY are the ones who actually had the power to stop all of this ages ago....but here we are.

The move frees a trial judge to act on the #Trump admin’s pending request to dismiss Bannon’s conviction & indictment “in the interests of justice” [rewriting history].
The dismissal would be largely symbolic. #SteveBannon served a 4-month prison term after a #jury #convicted him of #contempt […]
WTAF!?
#SteveBannon wins #SCOTUS order likely to lead to dismissal of his #criminal #conviction for refusing to #Congress.

#checksandbalances is a lie.
The White House is filing "emergency" appeals to build a ballroom while the rest of the country checks their grocery receipts. Nothing says "man of the people" like treating a luxury dance floor as a national security crisis. Priorities, right?

#checksandbalances (along with #oneruleoflaw) is a lie. It’s always been a lie, and all of the people in federal government are responsible for that.
Not perfect but we take our #ChecksAndBalances seriously - and we don’t even elect our senate! A healthy population makes a healthy economy which makes a healthy nation and we ensure that we are educated enough to see the value in that 🇨🇦☮️😉 our current PM ran the national banks of Canada & England 🤔

The firings (of Noem and Bondi) "underscored a singular Trumpian truth: that you’re useful to Donald Trump until you’re not. That this is a man who does not hesitate to discard anyone, no matter how much they’ve contorted themselves for the job." buff.ly/PTCh58O

“To read those words today, in light of President Donald Trump’s #war against #Iran, is to shudder. First, of course, at Madison’s prescience: like the other #Founders, he grasped the frailty of human nature and the consequent imperative of #checksandbalances.”
