Worst case the country splits and Trump supporters finally have to pay for themselves. What a shock that will be for them.
You’ve been working overtime here spreading your joy. The more Trump accomplishes, the more spiteful and ugly your posts have become.

You just keep on with your one-man tirade, Seacove. It’s a sign for many of us that the USA is in great shape.

When I hear and read statements like the above post I ask, why aren't you rooting for democracy, our Constitution, our country? Why are you rooting against yourself? Are you crazy?
I see that hyperbole is the order of the day

Is it hard to roll your eyes when your head is in the sand? Hyperbole? That is what you now use to
explain away the overt authoritarian tendencies of President Trump and his followers?

it's called democracy at work. There is nothing authoritarian about the president or government. We still live in a system of checks and balances. Contrary to leftist belief, hell hasnt frozen over. Your hyperbolic statements dont help your argument.

That was legislating from the bench. .
Correct.

WH, Senate, House, courts all have the same roles as before. Even though TDS folks can't deal with it.

I don't understand the mentality either. I would not want a totally liberal court nor a totally conservative one. There have been Trump appointed judges that have ruled against him in court. "Five Times Republican Appointed Judges Ruled Against Trump. " USA Today. Trump may think he can but justice, but I think he will be proven wrong in the long run. I look at his sister who had to step down in disgrace to avoid an investigation for tax evasion. Yep crooked judges are out there, but one size does not fit all. I believe the vast majority are out there to do their job regardless of political beliefs, but it's better to be represented by both sides of the coin.

So people who disagree with you aren't normal and don't believe in the Constitution? I disagree with you, am very normal, and support our democratic institutions wholeheartedly. A lot of "normal" people espouse liberal views.
