We no longer have an Executive Branch

We have a Trump branch with all Departments serving only Trump and not the American people.
Barr is not the Attorney General, he is Trump's personal lawyer.

I”m a proud deep state alumni and still have friends that have somehow managed to stick it out these last four years. I have more friends that simply couldn’t take it and left. Of everything this man has done, this bothers me the most. He has destroyed our institutions and disparaged the people in them. They ARE our democracy. Separation of powers and all that we hold sacred. It’s been heartbreaking to watch.

On the bright side, I have confidence it can be fixed. IF he’s voted out in November. There’s tons of great people waiting in the wings anxious to help fix the carnage of the last four years, myself included.
