Just another regular newsday in America:-
- President advances plans to remove healthcare from 21 million Americans
- cases of the once-eradicated measles continue to climb. New recommendations: don't go to the cinema, don't go on a cruise ship.
- Attorney General refuses to co-operate with Congress
- Attorney General lies under oath to Congress and also declares that the President has the right to stop an investigation into his conduct if he feels himself to be innocent.
A regular newsday although, without wishing to sound dramatic, that last development, if unchallenged, signals the day that the USA began the slide from democracy to dictatorship, following the models set by Turkey, Hungary, Venezuela. < Sorry, I should really fact-check those countries, but I have to rush off to work.
