[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This claptrap about our democracy being threatened is just ludicrous. We have been hearing this since Trump's nomination and even more so after Trump was elected.

He has been in office for well over 4 months and what has he done so far that represents a real threat to our democracy? We still have a free press, our elected representatives still openly express their opposition to Trump, late night comics still make fun of Trump, the courts still function and issue injunctions on EOs that they deem constitutionally questionable, people are still posting on this and other forums expressing their strong opposition to Trump both personally and in terms of policy and sometimes in quite offensive language.

I have lived for brief periods in countries where freedoms are proscribed to some degree or the other and the US is not even remotely akin to these countries and it would take a serious erosion of our democratic institutions for us to get anywhere close to those countries.

This hysteria about what Trump can do or is about to do is sheer nonsense. We have multiple safeguards to prevent autocracy in this country.[/quote]

Except he's already broken multiple laws and Congress has done nothing about it. There's no one holding him accountable, Congress is expressly ignoring their Constitutionally bound duty. 
So you're wrong - we are already slipping into something more autocratic/junta-controlled when compared to Obama's last day in office. The government is already breaking down.[/quote]

We know that Trump is in violation of the Emoluments Clause and breached the terms of the lease for his D.C. hotel.  The President isn't subject to many ethics and conflict-of-interest regs.  Not sure if any laws were broken yet by Trump. [/quote]
