Trump and Barr's campaign for an imperial presidency. [View all]

They sat there and hmmm and hawed and danced around what Trump is up to.

The characterized it as a move to a "powerful" executive. bee ess.

The media still haven't twigged to it or they don't have the stones to call it what it is.

GOP Presidents should have the powers of King, an authoritarian dictator, a Putin. It is as simple as that.

The GOP has turned on the Republic, on Democracy and on the Constitution.
