    A democracy officially becomes a dictatorship when the executive starts disobeying the legislative branch.

    The US is on the knife’s edge, and starting to fall on the wrong side of history.

    And the price of eggs still hasn’t come down…

      It is not on the knife edge. It has already begun the swift descent to horrible shit. The question here is if the courts will claw back a small piece of decency. My bet is no, but my hope is yes.
