    Laws needs to change to fix this. To begin with - there has to be punishment for when Trump is breaking the law and Trump should not be able to do any punishment back.

      When a president stops following the law, the army should automatically remove the entire cabinet and hold new elections.

      It’s clearly illegitimate if it does not want to follow the law.

      People need to change and stop expecting that problems with the ruling class will be solved by laws. Who do you think is making those laws?

      At very least, if the president is immune from civil suits while in office for acts committed while in office, then he shouldn’t be able to sue others in civil courts.

      Step 1: lying to congress should be punishable immediately.

      Also refusing to answer a clear question directly.

      If laws meant anything, Trump would be serving his first of many lifetime prison sentences right now. But laws only work as long as people believe they should, and yet another law wouldn’t help that.

        In Warhammer, there’s an Ork flying machine that works because the Orks believe it should work.

        In that respect, Ork war technology is more advanced than American law.

          I’d say it is as powerful. It’s just Americans stopped believing in their own system, and now their cars are moving the same speed no matter what colour they paint it. They grew too isolated and now they can’t get the power of community to connect back to the source of collective.
