Half of me wants to hand Trump nearly unlimited power to deal with all the ongoing bullshit.

The other half of me (unlike retarded liberals), knows that my guy won't be in the White House forever and I don't want a (D) to have nearly unlimited power. (not that that stopped Obumbler, the novelty president)

Well many of the people here still think there is going to be a Night of the Long Knives (metaphorically).

Though a lot have also given up on that.

The reason why the Roman Republic lasted for so long was that, from time to time, they would hand absolute power and authority over to a dictator. The dictator could do ANYTHING they wanted, and no one could oppose them.

The dictator would return power to the senate when order was restored.

We need something like this in the US.

Name three instances where a Roman dictator returned power to the Senate.

Every dictator until Caesar. But Caesar was murdered.

You really ought to study history.
