At least until Trump (or Vance) has disabled enough of the remaining guardrails to declare himself president for life.

I'd sooner take my chances with a Democratic governor, though, rather than a Quisling.

I appreciate Governor Pritzer laying it on the line like that. I look for Democrats finding new ways to work together to help offset the troubles to come.

Clarence is a token, controlled by Harlan Crowe. Orange Julius found his Roy Cohn. Just never imagined it could be Merrick Garland.
