This Is Why You Don't Kiss The Ring

This summary of our current situation is well written. This Is Why You Don't Kiss The Ring:

"The press and the Congress are the only two institutions standing between a dangerous man and total power. They must both realize this is not the time to salute and grovel... This is the time for them to rise to the occasion. And the occasion is a fight for civil society."

Some of the week's news has been encouraging. For a few moments, including the exchange between Sen. Marco Rubio and Rex Tillerson, it looked as though the thug-elect might not be able to steam-roller the Republicans in Congress. But there has been plenty of bad news, and the "press conference" was just one instance. Lies, bullshit and bullying from start to finish show that Tramp and his gang have no respect for democratic rule. "This is not the time to salute and grovel..." The Republicans still seem to think they can limit Il Donaldo while pushing through their own sweeping changes. Their confidence is misplaced. They should never forget what he did to them during the primaries. [Edit: To expand on that last point: Stop Underestimating Donald Trump.]
