One year on

Steve Bannon apologises for what he said in the book about Trump, because his wealthy donor, the conservative Mercer family, is cutting him off in revenge. PS, the White House is portraying Bannon's words in the book as vindictive, but the information in the book was gathered long before Bannon was ever fired, while he was in good standing at the WH.

Meanwhile, the FBI's second in command, Andy McCabe prepares to retire at age 49 after being under constant attack from Trump, as the newly Trump-appointed head of the FBI leads two investigations against Trump's former political rival, Hillary Clinton.

Oh, and the Senate and the House committees investigating Russian involvement in our elections, run by Republicans, want to criminally investigate the British agent who alerted the FBI to possible problems in the first place - yep, Grassley and Graham have been quite busy kissing their master's ass.

This is what it's like to live in a dictatorship, where a wealthy leader, surrounded by his generals, tries to delegitimize the free press, muzzle dissent, and have his political opponents jailed, while stacking the courts and subverting the justice system. It only took a year.
