     @sarajw I love that this is happening but it makes me feel so frustrated that we're saying stuff like "we didn't elect him". It's the biggest federal crime I've ever seen! There are people who've had to leave the country for less.

     This conversation should be happening with this man and his underlings safely tucked away in prison cells while we assess the damage.

     Am I losing my grip? Is this really less of a big deal than it seems to me?

     @sarajw Yeah whatever happens needs to have... I guess already happened?

     Because we had no firm measures in place and relied on each other to be good, to a degree, it's all kind of down to what we do when that decorum doesn't hold, and it seems like we've picked... Nothing.

     @ironchamber no you're not.

     I don't know I guess the US system just assumes everyone will be reasonable and leaves the opposition completely powerless in the face of someone who isn't?

     I mean I dunno, they're not being "let in" to the Treasury - who by? Armed guards? Whose?

     Yeah it's... At least they're gathering in person and getting shouty but - what can they do? I'd like to see them just storm in but ... Yeah it's just all very wrong
