various assassinations, the brink of nuclear apocalypse, an unpopular political war away from home that caused a social movement, and political espionage.

It’s like we’re cursed.

    Yeah, but not every empire survives these things. Or survives and remains recognizable.

    The U.S. has also never experienced a felon rapist traitor in the Oval Office with an entire party abdicating their responsibilities and conceding their power to that felon rapist traitor and protecting him from repercussions at every opportunity.

    Reality check. We have a literal traitor in the Oval Office backed by a treasonous party.

    Shit’s not looking good.

      Nixon seems like he comes close

      What bothers me is the weaponization of the justice department. I think it needs to be politically unbiased so that justice can be served in a fair and equal way. I don’t like when a party goes after political opponents. Yes people need to help accountable but they also deserve a fair trial.
