this entire administration has been a constant stream of "important turning point for the US" moments

[grey-area]

That’s true and it’s not over yet, wait till he reaches the thousand year reich bit.

Like hanging his face on banners at the DOJ while proclaiming he'd be entitled to a third term?

[ericmay]

I think most, perhaps all of those "important turning points" aren't really important turning points but just business as usual.

Then you know and understand nothing.

Is threatening an ally business as usual? Tell me about all the times that recent presidents threatened a NATO ally...

I get where you're coming from. Every US administration has been corrupt, flaunted the constitution, started illegal wars (at least in the last 100 years or so)

It does kind of drive me nuts that people don't remember Bush very well, and give Obama and Biden passes on their own crimes.

That said, i do honestly believe that Trump has taken the level of corruption and abject cruelty to a new level. But this was inevitable; both parties have spent 50 years building this reality. I won't be surprised when the next Democrat also deports millions and starts illegal wars.
