Does the Congress truly retain the authority to contain Trump? Republicans hold both houses and they're terrified to say a single doubtful word about him. I get what you're saying about overuse of the "dictator" label, but that's how Trump behaves, and dictators are who he wants to hang with.

Maybe that boy crying wolf really heard them in the woods? The moral of the story is the townspeople let down their guard and allowed the wolf in. You are asking us to let down our guard and trust to courts and Congress. If we could rely on either, Trump would have gone to trial for his many alleged violations of our laws.

No, Congressman, no. There is no equivalency to previous administrations. Congress has abrogated their role in this "separate but equal branches" democracy. Some matters will be SLOWLY adjudicated through the courts, but now is not the time, as you seem to suggest, to take a wait and see approach. Someone in Congress needs to start calling out this attack on our country. Let's start with you.
