This Presidency is certainly a wake up call that the powers of the Executive have to be dramatically weakened. If that’s what you want, the next few years are your best chance ever to fight for it.No, I am suggesting that our government should not be given the authority to take certain actions that would be too tempting to the ambitions to shit on the rights of its citizens by illegal means.Are you suggesting we should have have never cared or been told about the Russian propaganda campaign to elect a guy with deep financial ties to Russia?
A candidate's financial ties to Russia is only a problem if that person can wield too much power.
Humans are too flawed to have so much power. That is a problem that Thomas Jefferson had identified right from the start, and something he lamented for years because he know that power-hungry people would always push the limits.
