A few select snippets:

"Repeated suggestions that those who break the law on the president’s behalf will receive pardons. This would be grounds for impeachment all by itself, if the opposition party hadn’t agreed in advance to lose all the battles in hopes of someday, in a utopian hypothetical future of bipartisan comity, winning the war."

Yikes!

"If our nation was actually the world’s leading light of democracy, rather than the global enforcer of vulture capitalism..."

Hoo Boy...
