People say nobody becomes a billionaire without exploiting workers. Nobody becomes that powerful in Congress without breaking rules. Trump is a gangster. His people have dirt on him and probably most everyone. The Republican know when to call in the favors to get what they want. Chuck has no choice but to follow along. Maybe they will let him live he thinks. Maybe he hopes he can get away with what is maybe worse than we know or think he’s done.

It will be interesting to see how and when the future views the end of the US and democracy. It’s probably already happened. We just don’t see it that way.
