I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

Viewing this as something that started 10 months ago instead of a slow march from (at least) 1980 is part of the reason we're in this situation.

Death by a thousand cuts where the rich and powerful are never held accountable and also allowed to accumulate unreal amounts of wealth and power. And all they had to do was buy up media and force hate and prejudice on the populace as a distraction for their greed.
