Politicians have always dealt with threats to oppose them in the next election or even a recall election. But since Trump’s many dog whistles inviting acts of violence, elected officials must fear for the safety of their families. See “fight like hell; we won’t have a country, evil lunatics, etc “

The goal is to scare people and force them to hire lawyers to defend themselves. Facts, evidence, justice, and the rule of law have nothing to do with it. This is a gross abuse of power by Trump and his “Department of Revenge.”

Trump’s assault against scientific and medical research places our health at risk. Scientific expertise and rigor are being replaced by crack pot theories. More people will get sick and die.

The awesome investigative and prosecutorial powers of the Department of Justice have been abused and corrupted to become Trump’s Department of Revenge. Sadly, no Republicans have found the courage to speak out on behalf of the Constitution and the rule of law. This is authoritarian rule.

Trump denigrates and debases the high office he holds on a daily basis. None of it is normal or acceptable. Yet I worry our media and the public have become numb to his constant tirades soaked in cruelty. His behavior is disgusting and we must never allow it to go unchallenged.

WTF?

Spoiler alert: Trump will claim lawyers are restricting the release due to “ongoing investigations.” These brand new and convenient investigations are in response to his flip from “it’s a total hoax” to “it’s an enormous criminal enterprise run by Democrats.”

We should note the Court ruling in Texas found the Legislature relied on racial demographics to shape the new district lines. Trump’s DOJ has accused California of the same “offense.” We may find the logic of the Texas ruling is used to strike down the California maps

If the whole Epstein matter is a “hoax,” I’m curious what Maxwell has on Trump that is leading to his determined and vigorous efforts to keep her quiet?

This has nothing to do with military strategy or America’s place in the world. It is about the insecurity of men who desperately want to pretend they are tough guys. Yet another way Trump has diminished our leadership role in the world.

“The Church seems hung up on moral values and our shared humanity. But we’re all about cruelty and getting tough.”

Such a hard story to follow. First, it’s all a hoax. Then, we will release the files. Then he hardly knew Epstein. Then “I guess Jeffrey liked them young.” Then, sexual assault on 15 year old girls is morally superior to 8 year old girls. Then, but Democrats did this too. Seems a bit desperate

How does a ballot measure approved by an overwhelming majority of voters “mock the democratic process”?

Exhibit 1,895 that our key law enforcement officers for the nation mistakenly believe they are personal lawyers for Trump.

We might note Obama and Biden were the only other presidents since Epstein’s original plea deal in Florida in 2008. Neither of them was ever accused of inappropriate or illegal activities with young women.
