@hacks4pancakes I still remember "Congress will keep him in check". 🥴

@ApostateEnglishman @hacks4pancakes

"The courts will stop him"

"Adults in the room..."

"He won't sick ICE on US citizens"

@rysiek @ApostateEnglishman @hacks4pancakes Interesting to compare August 1974 with today. I think Trump is substantially worse than Nixon. And the institutional safeguards were stronger then, namely the press was more capable and Congress fulfilled its oversight role.
