Why would he put up with those who allowed Trump to do what Trump is doing?

The United States of America stands condemned for its unforgivable behavior.

On the legislative front, he indeed can be stopped by a Democratic House of Representatives.

But, he still has a lot of executive powers (maybe his presidency is a warning sign that the office has become way too powerful over the last several decades) and he can still ram his judicial choices through the Senate. Chances are, he can probably get new Cabinet secretaries confirmed, but if he has to run the government with acting secretaries, then that doesn't seem to bother him.

The constant shuffling of people in his administration is not a bug, it's a feature. This is a man who became famous on the catchphrase, "You're fired!"

we’re pre-recorded. He would look to the right and point his finger and say, “You’re fired”, and then look in a slightly different direction and repeat himself, repeating it as he moved to look in a different direction.

There is not a genuine thing in his world. It’s all smoke and mirrors. All of it.

Just impeach the motherfucker for violating courts on their border rulings.
Then if that fails, impeach him for the Russia bullshit.
And if that fails, impeach him for emoluments.
Then if that fails, impeach him for incompetence.
Then....

This man doesn't deserve a day of rest until he is gone from the White House..... PERIOD!

catch up to him or will it be climate change?? He can't control the weather, fucking autocrat. I just hope history will not treat him kind. Most dictators get it at the end.

If Barr's lame-ass, content-free appearance at that hearing today isn't enough to trigger Democratic efforts towards the most justified and desperately needed impeachment in this country's history, then I guess trump can continue unchained. Lucky us.

That has always been the case. Everything else proposed has ranged from nearly impossible to wishful thinking to fantasy.
