These bullying tactics seem to be largely effective for him. Didn't anyone learn that bowing to a bully is the worst idea ever? No? Just me??
We have a president who is openly threatening to end careers, shutter institutions, even unseat foreign leaders for not complying. That is a dictator.

While I 100% agree Gov Mills standing up to Trump was badass ... are we just overlooking the fact that the president is openly threatening government officials to force compliance??

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”
With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Part of what we're seeing currently is that politicians on the right stopped doing PC like 8+ years ago, and the left did not get the memo. So, NEWSFLASH, if they're doing nazi salutes on stage/ national television, it's ok for you to sound *gasp* *whisper* socialist.

THIS! It baffles me how basic human rights have become 'radical left' concepts in this country. This is how we've slid slowly backward and found ourselves in the midst of a creeping coup. We have no one in power with the nerve to actually balance the scales (against nazis) with true leftist ideals.

Marbury v Madison is a seminal case from 1803 that holds that the federal courts must determine the constitutionality of the actions of the other two branches of government. Hope that helps, Stephen.

We have already reached the point where it's pointless to ask, "Is that even legal?" Or "How can they do that?" THIS. IS. A. COUP. They are making zero attempt to hide it. The shock and awe are part of the tactic. There is so much happening that no one knows where to focus. We're all in shock.

This is nauseating. Hacking into these government systems and accessing private citizens' personal records with zero security clearance can not be tolerated. There will be no way for any American to feel secure after these recent events. We have effectively had our identities stolen en masse.
