That is a BIZARRE thing to say in my opinion. There is an endless amount of checks and balances, to the point where putting in more might start negatively affecting the efficient operation of the whole thing.
Unfortunately, it's the American PEOPLE who have lost their grasp on reality, THEIR internal checks and balances have become dangerously incapacitated. NO system can stand up to mass insanity, WHATEVER the reason it came to be. We can endlessly discuss HOW we got here, who's fault it is etc. etc. How WE got here.
Now, I've been against Trump from the very beginning. I've called him dangerous from the VERY BEGINNING, when even my most liberal friends here would call me NUTS, because you know what? They have been bamboozled in their own ways as much as Team Orange. If you bought 7 iPhones in the last 10 years, but you don't buy health insurance, you should be very careful in calling THE OTHERS brainwashed.
To finish this up: of course the people who shit in the Capitol should be punished, this can not just happen without consequence. To be clear, I DO believe Trump has direct blame for the storming. He's a selfish jerk (trying to be nice here), AND he's not that bright; being evil personified is not always a conscious plan. But right now, RIGHT NOW, when there are thousands of people across the country planning to "storm" capitol buildings, it's NOT the time for MORE name-calling. We need to tread VERY carefully and diffuse this situation.
We need to STOP SAYING that Capitol Police just "let them in". Who is "them"? Making a statement like that, without 10 minutes of clarification, is as bad as blaming BLM the movement for what the looters and rioters did. I watched how officers FOUGHT LIKE HELL to protect that building, how they did EVERYTHING they could for more than an hour to hold back THOUSANDS of pushing people. What do you suggest when they mob breached? Have 100 cops arrest 2000 people? Start shooting all of them? This is not a fucking video game where you just start over if your brazen decision turns out to be suicide......
