How Far is Too Far For Republicans in Congress?

Are they lemmings marching off a cliff?

Trump declared himself King in a Truth Social post as he attempted to cancel congestion pricing for drivers in Manhattan. A White House aide then reposted it with an AI image of Trump in a crown and robes.

Trump turned viciously on Ukraine President Zelinsky, calling him a dictator and claimed Ukraine started the war. That’s a claim Putin regularly makes.

He also signed an executive order giving himself permission to shut down government departments without any oversight from Congress.

This all in just one day.

It’s generally assumed that there is such a thing as a President going too far, but how much further can one man go? And where is the breaking point for Americans, as Trump moves into dictator mode and committing treason against our democracy? Finally, where is the point of no return?

We are hearing rumors that Defense Secretary Hegseth will be firing senior generals in the military as early as next week. It takes an immense amount of knowledge and experience to become senior leadership in the Pentagon, the largest and most critical part of the federal government.
