2. Congress abdicated its responsibility and authority to presidents long ago

Now the beast is collecting its due.

Once upon at time on a planet far far away, in a nation well thought of, presidents were not crazy, malevolent, despotic, pedo’s, stunningly ignorant in all respects, serial liars, belligerently disdainful of the constituency, irrationally boastful, didn’t hire a cadre of lickspittal suck ups who are only qualified to occupy a prison cell, don’t cheat at golf or other recreational activity, and didn’t smell like a Mobil outhouse on an August day in Florida.

That nation usually, until now, elected predictably rational humans who saw themselves as fallible humans. Recognized their potential to be wrong and wanted their nation to do well.

Ahhh, for the good old days of simple burglary and coverup to distract the populace. Or a war manufactured out of lies in south east Asia. Or aluminum tubes being evidence sufficient to invade another nation. Ahhh and hurray for the days of the biggest scandal being whether or not the president is afraid of attack rabbits, and of course a “B” class actors wife running the country while he shuffles along into irrelevancy.

Ya get what ya pay for, and boy are we getting it
