Cleanup on aisle nine

Like all wannabe dictators, Trump is pushing the envelope of what is left of US law. Bolstered by a fringe right supreme court and a DOJ that is ostensibly his private law firm, he thinks he can do no wrong. 

He likely won't survive a full presidential term as decades of bad health practices and late night social media toddler rants without much sleep are catching up with him. This should snap his most fervent cult members who think he is a great businessman out of their stupor but the country will still be a shadow of its former self. It turns out that modeling yourself after Russia and Hungary are not conducive to a happy electorate. 

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom have understood the mandate for the Democrats and are going to adopt the "they go low and so do we" approach that so many Americans want from them. Let Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer write the strongly worded letters. 

But irrespective of strategy, the money in politics and the stranglehold by corporations are ensuring that the implosion takes place anyway. Long after the most eagerly awaited obituary on the planet, there will be cleanup galore to fix all the damage already done.
