Checks and balances were never tried in the first place. There must have been some assumption of decorum and decency, so strong that whatever loopholes are, have been left wide open.

Without a competent or impartial FBI and AG, there's literally zero chance these people will be investigated.

With a house and senate that fears the president, there will be no impeachment.

And even if they successfully manage to impeach the president, I'm 100% sure Trump will challenge it.

Yeah, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Gonna be 4 very, very long years.



4 years? Trump has been talking about a third term.

“It would be my greatest honor to serve not once but twice,” Mr. Trump told an audience on Saturday. “Maybe three times.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/us/politics/trump-boundar...


I didn't think he would live this long, but he certainly couldn't survive another 8 years, right?... right?


So basically we are down to relying on the cycle of life as the ultimate check and balance. Hopefully he won't appoint one of his sons as his successor like in North Korea.
