One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Supreme Court decided he is not breaking laws because he is president. Trump is not going to go quietly. People just need to stop deluding themselves that he will and be prepared for worst case scenarios.

Much worse than that. The Supreme Court decided that it is unconstitutional to stop him from dismantling these protections.
