The Dictatorship of Trump is at hand and the Republican Congress, my Mississippi reps included, continue to allow him to stay in office. Impeachment and Trial is required NOW. But the Trumplican Party seems to want the authoritarian government that the administration is working toward.
This coup will be televised. Unfortunately, half the USA won't even recognize this for what it is until it's too late. And we will all suffer the consequences.
One lesson from the trump term is, Presidents have way too much power. We need constitutional amendments to take away some powers of the executive, this is ridiculous
If Congress or SCOTUS did their jobs he would be stopped, and since he would try to keep going probably removed by now. All 3 branches are complicit, you would need power somewhere else.
🤣 a judge will just take that away too and the commissioners will be reinstated. Trump so weak. All the power of the world, still cant help rightwingers get liftoff to their dreamland. How useless is he that he cant even help the weirdos who put him there.

The FTC's "do not call" list was one of the most popular government programs of recent decades.

The USA elected, an entitled man baby. Nothing he does will shock me this term.

PayPal Mafia (Musk, Sacks, Thiel, Leo, etc) along with corrupt politicians (e.g. Trmp, Putin) ARE NOW IN CONTROL.
Stop treating these stories as politics; that helps them win using war-tactics.
