A meta-thread about the Constitutional, legal, and ethical mess that is Trump. To anyone not in the cult of daily self-inconsistent lies, this will all be self-evident, but as I hear people lob around nonsense like "they all do it" or "Obama committed crimes," well...here I am.

I think it's fair to say that in the era of the modern omnipotent American state, Trump's abuses of our laws, institution, and our very Constitutional structure are unprecedented.

Congress stands stripped of its most crucial powers - subpoena and spending. The President's inept relatives and unqualified cronies are at the head of all the executive departments. The checks of public opposition and Congressional self-interest are gone.

Here then, are three threads - one on criminal behavior, one on ethics violations and rulebreaking, and one on anti-Constitutional actions. They don't cover the full gamut of the damage the political nihilism of the rump of the Republican party has wrought, but it's a start.
