    1. What if the problem with Trump isn't just the crimes he's committing but the stuff that is perfectly legal -- in fact, well within presidential powers under the Constitution?https://twitter.com/fordm/status/1229909715687223301 …

    A big lesson of the Trump era is that American liberal democracy as we know it exists despite the Constitution, not because of it.

        2. The pardon power has become Trumpized: turned into an instrument of purely partisan gratification to reward allies, donors and people you want to win over. Trump's hints about pardoning Roger Stone point where it is going.

        3. Trump could, at the end of his presidency, give himself the same absolute pardon Gerald Ford gave to Nixon: complete clemency for everything he did as president. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1003616210922147841?lang=en …

        In a way, that's the grift. Chase the elusive illegal, ignore the horrific legal.

        Famously the founders did not want nor think we’d have parties so the branches are designed to compete with each other/guard their spheres of influence... obviously this was not particularly prescient!

        And what's more disturbing is that the people enabling this view themselves as "Constitutionalists."

        It’s everything. Everything is the problem with Trump. It is cascade failure at this point.

        This is the thing. Makes me think often of the way @mikeduncan talks about it in The Storm Before The Storm - the willingness of Roman politicians to exploit the system's weaknesses was as significant a factor in the Republic's downfall as the outright illegality.
