“I won’t forget” ?

Heard a funny description of Trump. “Trump is like like playing Chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is gonna knock over all the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it won.”

Pt 3- with impunity—all emerged from a Congress determined to reassert its constitutional role. James O’Brien - All Your Days

History offers a roadmap for what American needs most at this moment—a congressional resurrection. The most immediate example: after Watergate, legislators from both parties recognized the danger of unchecked executive power and enacted reforms that lasted generations.
