23. Who is going to hold them accountable?

Monday

The very organization meant to enforce the law, the DOJ, is the one doing it.

The problem with our system of government is that is starts from the position that the system is self regulated and ultimately, loyal to the citizens.

It was believed so unlikely that someone with bad intentions could seize total control of the government that we didn't even account for that being a possibility.

Now it's happened and there is very little we can do about it in the short term.

All of our hopes rest in the idea that we still have elections but to be honest, there is no guarantee of that either.
