The fact that we just left it up to them to recuse themselves is a major unchecked flaw.

Our founding morons were the most naive idiots in existence... Sure they lived in a different time, but how could you possibly look back at any time in history and say "it's ok only moral people get positions of power so we'll play by the honor system."

I don't think anyone born back then could've forseen the sheer stupidity that is MAGA

The original dictator preceeded the existence of the US and refused to recuse himself once given power.

Their shortedsightedness is not excusable.

Agreed, no one should be above the law

Maga is the rightful heir to the founding slavers.
