27. All very good questions that none of us seem to have any answers for. I hope he can be stopped

but so far I have seen little progress. He is jamming up the courts with cases so nothing gets stopped because it is too much for the courts to handle and takes so long. I guess you will see in the next few weeks/months whether SCOTUS has any balls at all to stop him and if not, then I cannot see a way out. The world has moved on because we have all seen the impotence of the so called checks and balances put in place to stop any of this.. The entire system is hamstrung by the inability to adapt and update to real day problems. What I have learned is that the US system is not a democracy at all but is a minority rule system and until and unless it is corrected you are so we say, fucked.
