as if we needed further confirmation

The President is completely crazy.

And our judicial system is right there with him.

At what point did we, as a country, lose our minds and become vengeful retributive five-year-olds who stick our fingers in our ears and yell LA LA LA in the face of any argument that disproves our predetermined truths? No matter what we want to think about the corruption of the system (and I'm certainly not arguing that point), we're all responsible for this. Cynicism about the democratic process is pretty much the best way to assure its demise.

Sometimes I'm amazed that I'm generally able to sleep well. Maybe it's because the nightmares are here in broad daylight.

About the 1770s or there abouts... The government's response to Shay's rebellion comes to mind...

One could even argue that we had this attitude since pre-Mayflower...
