Don't know how this will play in other countries, but the arc is the last bit of this minute and a half video

The sign of a modest president

Hopefully, once he leaves, or is forced out, of office, he'll be spending the rest of his life in the D J Trump Correctional Facility.

We thought none of this was possible, that surely our presidents went through psychological testing, and that they were required to divest themselves so they couldn't profit from the position. We thought laws were already in place that would prevent a sitting president from being able to abuse the system the way he has, that surely the SCOTUS would protect the constitutional rights they're charged with interpreting, and that the checks and balances we have in place would continue to serve us well.

We were wrong because most of us were counting on the free press to keep us informed, to ask the right questions, to dig into corruption and unconstitutional actions. They're a joke, all of them, since you end up with more coverage of actual events from social media (which has very little journalistic process, so it's hard to trust). I'm old enough to remember pre-Clinton journalism, where reporters asked the tough questions and nobody walked out of interviews with the press for fear of looking shady.

I'm hoping the next version of the USA corrects the mistakes made, provides the provisions we left out for some reason, and moves ahead keeping all the good stuff while discarding this MAGA trash. It's been over a decade now, and we're heartily tired of how slow the wheels are moving.

Watching formerly solid media outlets bend the knee has been hard. The spouse and I now read a lot of national news in UK media which seem less smoochy at the Arse de Turnip. Glad some US sources like NPR are not caving. If Turnip calls a news company "failing" or "lamestream" or "radical Left" that's usually a good sign they're doing their job as journalists.
