"Trump showed the world what an 'America First' foreign policy looks like in practice—attacks on allies, capitulation to dictators, and the abandonment of any remaining pretense that the United States will support and defend democracy around the world."

I think people aren't describing the Emil Bove corruption adequately.

I cannot express enough how much these people actively hate the U.S. Constitution and would tear it into shreds if they were permitted.
Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.
