We are dealing with people that won't even admit laws were broken.

These are the same people that believed George Floyd protests were an affront to them, yet an attack on the Capitol was their right...

20,000 were there for Trump in Iowa Saturday, including Chuck Grassley...


Do something positive.

You know that whole thing about laws being unconstitutional and how much time goes into such questions?

Guess what. We don't even have that.

In the UK, the Queen signs a bill into law, that's it. It's constitutional.

If a law doesn't work well, we write a new bill and pass that.

It's a lot simpler.

If a bill is crackers, well, the Queen won't sign it. A Prime Minister can't do a coup. The army answers to the monarch. But if the government wants to ban hand guns, say, well, it passes a law and that's that. No handguns. So things can change and people like Trump don't get anywhere.

It's not perfect but it feels like evolution happens. It's that which I think is the big US problem. Change is too hard.
