As they gut the civil service and the only laws executed are those they find useful and the only regulation that is done is to serve their cronies and reward benefactors, we may not see the symptoms right away. But there will be symptoms.

Just think of every cabinet level department and the massive structure of public resources on which individuals and businesses rely -- all getting progressively less functional.

Some will be visible -- like more dead as regulation of our food supply gets progressively more dysfunctional.

Other won't be obviously visible, like rampant insider trading and other violations ignored by the SEC.

And this is before he even begins to actually "do" things like his mass deportations.

and to an extent what white people will tolerate but once the ball really gets going nobody has the capability of really making him do or to stop doing anything.

They can get away with anything.

They have proven this time and time again.

They ignore the law.

The Supreme Court backs up their lawlessness.

They are in power whether they are the majority or minority.

It is a criminal political party.
