and NOTHING will be done because constraints on a president—not just from Congress but also from the bureaucracy, allies, and international institutions—have been eroding since the Constitution was written and implemented. What worked in the 1700's in a mostly agrarian America with a population of only 4 million people, does not work now.
Our government is essentially immobilized and ineffective. Even when it tries, solutions to the horrible problems of this nation never occur. Congressional policies are not designed to provide effective solutions. Perfect example - the tax policy which isn't a policy at all...or government actions on healthcare which are constantly messed up by the vested interests of insurance companies, hospitals, drug companies, etc. On and on it goes.
This government is a mess, and it will not last much longer if drastic reform isn't taken. Insurrection is likely, no matter what happens in election 2020, and then we take it from there.
Are we thinking about the same president that congratulated a Democrat for beating corruption charges, whose DOJ dropped charges on that same democrat at the federal level, who did not prosecute the Tea Party scandal, the VA scandal, the Email scandal, the Clinton Foundation scandal, who's been friends with the swamp for most of his life, and has praised them on numerous occasions and helped put them in power?
Yup, they're sure trying to stop him. You fucking clowns are part of the problem.
I'm not thinking about any single president or politician. I'm thinking about all of them plus the ineffective, corrupt form of government that we are under.
Why don’t more US states look to secede from the union? I’ve always found it strange that secession seems to be talked so little about in the US, it even seems to be more common in Europe in more historic nations (eg scotch in the U.K., basques and Catalans in Spain, northern Italy).
