The Education Department plans to lay off more than 1,300 of its employees as part of an effort to halve the organization’s staff -- a prelude to President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the agency.
The vice president has also stated on the record that they should just ignore the courts. And the president has referred to himself as king. And John “a giant dipshit” Roberts gave Trump immunity. And he already has the pardon. Courts aren’t going to save us when they have no ability to enforce their edicts even after Trump is out of office.
After Nixon resigned, even his worst enemies were okay with letting him get away with it. Almost no one was calling for Ford to be impeached or demanding Nixon be jailed.
For the Left, the lesson of Watergate was that the system worked. For the Right the lesson was that they had to change the system so none of them ever had to be punished for anything, ever.
