Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to K.C. Saunders as the County Administrator. He is, in fact, the Budget Director for Lorain County. The correction applies to Part 3, paragraph 3; Part 4, paragraph 1 & 4; and Part 5, paragraph 4 of the published story.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Wouldn't Cromwell's protectorate have been fresher in the minds of the Founders? Wouldn't he, and his effective abolishing of Parliament when it got too inconvenient, have been the far more relevant example of a demagogue?

I didn't live in the late 1700s, nor have I read much history specifically addressing the period which wasn't focused on setting the stage for the Civil War, but I figure the Founders were far warier of a Cromwell than any King Charles, Charles, William, or George.
