That will be when Mueller files his report. There is really not much doubt anymore that it will show massive criminality by Trump himself. If Congress does not then act, it will be official: the president is above the law.

(58,785 posts)a "full-on dictatorship," why aren't you at an airport preparing to follow whatever money you've already managed to transfer off shore? Before it's too late and you're not allowed to? Or at least seeing your family off while you stay behind to dump your home for a quick sale? Good grief.
Do you really WANT to be shucking crabs as a seasonal worker in Maryland, or whatever other work you're considered needed at? Including none? We soon are going to have a glut of unneeded truck drivers. Will some become a new supply of gardners or assigned to fight wildfires, or just be allowed to scrabble with their families for survival as best they can?
