This is a good time to consider leaving the United States.

Hyperbolic? Consider: The executive and legislative branches of the federal government (and most state governments) are now completely aligned to support a Trump-lead authoritarian kleptocracy. The Judiciary (including the justice department, under the executive) have been the only meaningful resistance. Trump will now get away with deposing of anyone in the justice department who dares his authority. He has fired the three leaders in the Justice department who have investigated him (Comey, Yates, and Bharara).
Thanks to the senate GOP blocking Obama’s appointments, Trump will also begin to stack scores of open federal Judge appointments with cronies (as he has with the stolen Supreme Court seat).
Standing between Trump and this plan? Mitch McConnell.
It’s time again to consider leaving the United States.
