I suppose it had good intentions at the time, but I can't imagine how people can fight against Apache helicopters with a glock 19 nowadays. The US government spends so much on the military it's unreal.

do people think the military would attack the people if they tried to oust the government?

or better question, would they!?

I mean we saw them using pepper spray grenades just for some protests that got a little out of hand, just that alone was over the top.

The military has flat out stated they would NOT follow an order from Trump that involved committing a war crime.

Apparently this is the thing that actually woke a lot of republicans up, just from reactions I have seen online. There is literally no reasonable way to defend this at all.

The DOJ has said that Trump will get to appoint the person in charge the investigation into his Russian corruption charges.

Fed Court cites Bethune-Hill (the recent VA SCOTUS victory) in striking down racial gerrymander in Travis County, TX, so that's a good sign for Gerrymandering.

Yep. And, amusingly enough, actually within the powers and responsibilities of the President.

Keep in mind, in theory, the system was designed to work even if the vast majority of the government is corrupt, so things like this were not only anticipated but considered acceptable risks. Now watch Trump and ask yourself how well that theory is panning out.

NOW they've gone from Gordon Gekko style villainy to something boarding on cartoonish supervillainy.

Fox News is currently being investigated by the U.S. attorney of the southern district of New York.
The investigation concerns Fox's failure to advise shareholders of settlement payments made to sexual harassment victims.
The U.S. attorney who was investigating Fox News was Preet Bahara. He was just fired by Donald Trump.
Rupert Murdoch is the CEO of Fox News.
The attorney being short-listed to replace Preet Bahara is Rupert Murdoch's white-collar defense attorney, Marc Mukasey, son of former Bush attorney general, Michael Mukasey.

That what happened when one party decided to sellout to corporate lobbyists and do the betting of Wall Street instead of the people.

Seriously the republicans are the easiest people to beat and somehow the democrats still find a way to lose in embarrassing fashion.

Wow, so now it's the Democrat's fault because they couldn't beat the guys you just admitted were sell-outs.

Voting for Hillary yourself might have helped, Remix.

Sooner or later, you're going to have to accept the fact that you can't blame the Ms. Clinton or Mr. Obama for the utter disaster Trump is causing.

They're not exactly innocent, either. A lot of the extra steps Trump is taking without people questioning how the President even has that power are because Obama already took those steps. Even twenty years ago, Obama and Trump would have been seen as maverick threats to America by both sides of the line because of how Executive Orders are used.

But, then again, both of them were building on what their predecessors did.

Ultimately, if we're going to spread the blame around, there's going to be quite a few Presidents who will be found guilty. Because for a long time now, we've been taking steps towards this. Little things that push the envelope, then become accepted as standard practice. And now that the bottom of the slippery slope is in sight, people are beginning to panic and ask we stop the ride.
