7. He's not following "protocol" in any areas.

Imagine getting in your car and deciding that no rules apply to you. You can go as fast or as slow as you'd like, and you don't have to acknowledge stop signs or red lights. Or pedestrians. You just do whatever makes you feel good.

That's the gift John Roberts gave to Trump. He's ALWAYS felt that the rules were there for everyone else. That's nothing new. But now, he doesn't even give a passing thought to keeping his worst impulses in check, because his attitude is "Who's gonna stop me," and he's right. The Republican Congress won't. The SCOTUS won't. And the Ninth Circuit Court just smacked down the ban on his invading Portland with the National Guard. Trump demolished the facade of the East Wing and not only was nothing done about it, no one's speaking out about it (that I've seen). He just did it, got away with it, and it's one more distraction to keep us from asking "Where are the Epstein files?"
