Rule of Law once made America great
Given events of the past ten months, I’m surprised by people still wringing their hands and worrying that American Rule of Law is in trouble. News flash — it’s not in trouble, it’s dead.
In ten months, Donald Trump has overseen the firing of dozens of government Inspector Generals who were tasked with guarding against illegal actions by their departments. He has installed his personal lawyers Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche to run the DOJ. Bondi has followed direct orders from Trump to open investigations against former FBI Director James Comey, former CIA Director John Brennan, and others, in attempts to find some sort of crime to pin on them.
Trump deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Memphis. In Chicago, troops repelled from a military Black Hawk helicopter, broke into an apartment building, rounded up most of the residents, and hauled them away in the middle of the night.
Armed with military-style weapons, masked thugs known as ICE agents have arrested thousands of people across the country without probable cause or warrants. Dozens have been snatched off the streets and illegally flown off to prisons in the jungles of El Salvador.
Trump has said it should be illegal to criticize him on TV. He has called for the governor of Chicago to be jailed for criticizing him.
Nationwide NO KINGS protests may be our last chance to resist Trump’s blossoming dictatorship. Act now while you still have the constitutional right to protest.
