  1. Pay close attention folks, because this is how democracies die. "Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one."

  2. If you're on the fence as to whether or not the integrity of America's constitution, and the integrity of our democracy is under threat, then consider this: Trump has now vested the law enforcement authority of the entire United States, to someone who has not been vetted, nor has he gone through a Senate confirmation hearing. Whitaker was on the board of WPM, a company that scammed Americans out of thousands of dollars.  The FTC ordered the company to pay 26 million in a lawsuit settlement. And the company was then shutdown.  That sounds exactly like Trump's fake University scam,  which was ordered to pay 25 million in a lawsuit settlement.  I can see why Trump hired Whitaker.  Trump clearly likes the cut of his jib.
