He didn’t simply say he has absolute power. Now his name will be printed on every bailout check, and there are tens of millions of Americans who are literally going to think he personally sent it to them. Don’t kid yourself; they’ll want to vote for him in order to say thank you.

It’s beyond “At this rate he’s going to become a dictator.” He’s in the process of becoming one now. Maher says he’s afraid he won’t leave the WH but it’s beyond that already. He doesn’t plan for there to be an election. He’ll say he’s using his emergency powers to “postpone” it.

The scariest part of course is how many Americans would think that’s a good idea. He will at least float this idea at some point. Our greatest hope at the moment lies with Republican senators who know this is true & will find the courage to act. I think there are a few who might.

Of course he doesn’t have the power to postpone it! That’s the point. He claims power he doesn’t have.

Many Americans, Republicans as well as Democrats, are deeply concerned about what’s going on now. We can’t cast aspersions on each other’s values. High minded conservative as well as high-minded liberal values matter. A true conservative is as appalled by his overreach as we are.
