That Trump Is Still In Office Proves That The Constitution Has Failed, Utterly And Completely

ANYONE WHO IS PUTTING their hopes on that fraudulent and quick fix, the 25th Amendment, is as much of a sucker as those who put their hopes on the impeachment myth.  

It is one of the fatal defects in the presidential system that those who are assigned the choice of removing the most criminal or dangerous presidents in our history have the most personal, selfish, self interested reason to keep them in office.   And the worse the president, the worse those he puts around him that the 25 Amendment gives the responsibility to make that responsible decision and the worse the members of his party, IN OUR CASE THE REPUBLICAN-FASCISTS IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE who will block their removal.

It is one of the features of democratic parliamentary systems that those who have those choices,  whether as part of a failing an disastrous prime minstership or those in such a disasters' party are those with a real and important self-preservation interest in removing a Trump level disaster.   

Our Constitution has repeatedly failed to remove the worst presidents in our history,  and now we have the worst example of that in our history.   It failed to remove him and, thanks to the Roberts Court, the means of preventing his return to power in the 14th Amendment was nullified by the Republicans with help by a Democratic appointee.    Never, ever put your hopes on the Supreme Court, especially the Ivy League Law school class of them. 

I pray and hope that the rest of the world,  the free and aspiring to be democratic countries and forces tell us to change it or they're cutting us off,  that the boycotts will continue and increase,  that they can't trust us at all until the goddamned presidential system we have now is drastically altered to really, basically protect the world from another Trump.  

Our system is entirely,  completely, catastrophically failed.  THAT ANYONE IS EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TRUMP USING NUCLEAR WEAPONS THIS WEEK PROVES HOW DANGEROUS OUR CONSTITUTION IS.    I fear that even that won't be enough to overcome the putrid, lying founders fetish that protects our failed Constitution.   Maybe if Lin-Manuel Miranda makes it rap and boogie on Broadway,  something might be done.   But he'll never do that.   If he did the NYT and the NY based funding agencies that gave his founders fetish show its legs would never back him.
