I am unsettled tonite, knowing that so many Americans are OK with Trumpism, racism, corruption and brazen criminality. The law has been undermined and Trump gets away with it over and over and over again. None of us on this board could get away with a fraction of his criminality.

Democracy doesn't exist without the rule of law. We need to hold mock funerals across the nation for the rule of law.
