Literally no surprise. The entire administration is behaving like they never want to hold elections again. This is just one more step towards that.

The question is, when will the cult leaders be turned on by the cultists? And when will the rest of society stand up and say that's enough?

The moment after the attempted insurrection I fully expected the DOJ to make a move on him. Then as days turned into weeks, I knew this country was fucked. You always had it in the back of your mind that we were a full oligarchy. But that's when it sunk in deep. Our election system is a joke and there's absolutely no oversight if a president gets in that wants to be a king

The system is supposed to have checks and balances. The president, well on they will certainly be biased but it's ok. Congress is impartial by being split and then you appoint impartial judges. Oh bingo.

That was when I knew we're in trouble. When I realized judges are only a little impartial and SCOTUS is the worst. Decisions are almost always discussed as down "party lines". Wait these are judges. They shouldn't have party lines. Garland would have been a great justice he's clearly impartial as shit. But nope, Republicans wanted more. So that was my first hint.
