As someone who has been screaming this for decades, I'm very underwhelmed by this article.

It's not the villain. It's the system.

As long as this is about an individual abusing a system and not the system itself, we will never be able to stop this.



I want to believe that we can come together to rein in the federal executive. However, it seems to only ever be a problem when the other side does it.


Thank you. I'm as upset by the things this administration has done as the next person, but attacking it does nothing without addressing the circumstances that led to this situation (we've been in a state of emergency for decades now, for the record). The problems with the U.S. government run deeper than what can be weaponized in a campaign slogan, tweet, or ragebait article.


I'm not sure how it can be fixed. Emergency relief can't wait for normal processes. I'm open to suggestions though.


It can be extremely temporary though. You can only do so much in 30 days, whereas some of these 'emergencies' are indefinite and can last years.
