Institutions like the house, senate, and even places like the FBI are not what they used to be. They no longer have the power to keep 47 in check, and even if they did, they wouldn't because they either want what is happening or they are too afraid of him and Elmo Tusk.
The US is in the process of falling and very few seem to realize this yet.
Goodness knows, the wicked's lives are lonely; goodness knows, the wicked die alone.
