This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

Also, civics are not taught in the schools in detail on a regular basis. If people really understood how the government is supposed to work they would fire the congresspeople who are not doing their jobs.
The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.
We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
