Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "McConnell: 'The Mob' Was 'Provoked' By President Trump" video.
I'm Australian bit went to college in America. Id id engineering but a bunch of my frat brothers did pre-law and they used to drag me into discussions on the constitution. Time and again they assured me that NOBODY could ever do the things Trump has done, because one of the key parts of the American system was the checks and balances by the Senate. The President nominates people for key positions and SCOTUS and other courts and the Senate checks them out. The House passes laws and the Senate checks that the "i"s got dotted and "t"s got crossed. The Senate is not meant to drive policy or shape the courts, my frat brothers explained that 30+ years ago. Yet look at what McConnell has done. Everyone thinks Trump was the problem (and he was) but he only did what he did because the system that was meant to keep him in check wasn't working. Then there is the bigger issue and that is all the judges that the American Bar Association says are "Not Qualified". Try explaining to anybody from any other country how America has judges overseeing cases that aren't qualified. Go and look up Glenn Kirschner's YT channel he's an ex-JAG and ex-Federal Prosecutor. He's talked about this a lot in recent months and what it will take to fix. All this stuff McConnell enabled and stifled and interfered with has obvious ramifications for America and Americans, but it also has ramifications for America's allies and for the world in general. Most of the worlds business is done in $US and we can't trust that currency as much as we have done for decades. For countries like Australian, Japan, Britain and most of Europe America is a key trading and security partner and we can't trust that as much as we have. That's all because McConnell enabled Trump to do the things he's done.
