It’s puerile. Boyish, childish. Who knew when I took Latin in high school that I would have a reason to use such a word? Ever watch Star Trek, THNG? There were multiple episodes in which an immature “god” plagued the ship, seemingly all-powerful, whimsical, capricious. Turns out, the character was the prodigy of more-mature beings, loose on the universe. Baby tyrant. Now we have our own. It’s beyond embarrassing.
I don’t recall those particular episodes, but it certainly describes what we are witnessing today. Except in this case it’s not boyish immaturity. It’s old age and increasing dementia … made infinitely worse because the adult was always a privileged narcissist with neither political nor military experience. If only “embarrassing” were the only consequence …
I feel the same way. Nary a peep from Congress while he continues to usurp powers specifically assigned to Congress by the Constitution. Congress is supposed to be the legislative body, not the president.
The only constant here is that, he’ll just get worse. When you think it’s bad, he’ll make it worse.

25th amendment now
Definitely now. The list of grievances keeps growing, and now Americans are fighting and dying in his ill-conceived war.
My constant question: Why isn’t anyone stopping him? Where is Congress when we need it? I think I loathe them as much as him.
