Congress and the Supreme Court are #Trump patronage loyalists. The GOP lost their minds when President #Obama wore that accursed tan suit. In 1891 cartoonist Keppler accurately depicted the Congress being controlled by monied folks "Bosses of the Senate". "The Kept Judge" as a tool of big business.

Supreme Court gave Trump the okay. We are in a dictatorship.

The self-coup features the GOP right-wing Congress and Judiciary ceding their power to Trump. James Madison in Federalist No. 47 (1877) stated that "the accumulation of all powers (legislative, executive, and judiciary) into the same hands is the definition of tyranny."

Agreed. I believe that a soft coup took place in the U.S. on January 20, 2025. The 1866 Congress was just to fear that the Confederate insurrectionist would destroy the peace and tranquility of the U.S. government if they were allowed near the power of the Federal government. It happened.

Confederate President Jefferson Davis was unrepentant. He previously served in the federal government as U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, and Secretary of War before becoming President of the Confederacy. He did not petition for restoration of rights. Section 3 barred him from holding any office.

Congress restored the full citizenship rights for Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis in 1975 and 1977, well after they were deceased. General Robert E. Lee was repentant and petitioned Cong. for restoration of rights which was accompanied by his Amnesty Oath. The Lee Amnesty Oath was lost until 1970.

Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment also reflects the fears of the Framers of the Constitution. Federalist #51 among others were concerned about a faction of like passion oppressing either a majority of the people or a minority of the people.

Trump was barred from providing pardons and clemencies for the 1,500+ January 6, 2021 insurrectionists. The plain language of Section 3 requires a supermajority to remove the January 6, 2021 insurrection disability - not the president and not the courts but only Congress.

In 1866 Congress took testimony from 144 witnesses while the 14th Amend. was under consideration. One of the witnesses was Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Before the Civil War, Gen. Lee was in charge of West Point. Section 3 stripped Lee of his voting rights and his ability to hold office

Confederate President Jefferson Davis and General Robert E. Lee were barred for life from voting and holding state or federal office by Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. Section 3 gives Congress alone the power to pardon insurrectionists. #Trump insurrection barred him from holding office.

Theologically speaking, Herod's power was threatened by babies. He ordered the killing of babies 2 years old and under. The Holy Family (Joseph, Mary, and Jesus) escaped to Egypt as #immigrants. Trump's power is threatened by immigrants. #Trump upholds family separations and killing of immigrants.

#ICE evolved from the former Slave Patrols/Catchers. Policing in the U.S. was born out of the ancient southern slave patrols who enforced various slave codes. Same slave patrols were composed of former Confederate soldiers.

The U. S. was born out of protests/dissents about 250 years ago. The revolution against the British Crown began about 1765 and ended about 1783. British soldiers assaulted Bostonian protesters on King Street in 1770. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 represents the ultimate in protest/dissent.

The "kill them" ideology follows Trump advocacy that the proven innocent "Central Park Five" should be executed. He railed against New York paying the Central Park Five for false imprisonment. NPD with sadist component within the B category.

I've watched the #Minnesota #ICE shooting. First, the shooting officer did not consider his field of fire, which included other officers and a civilian in the white hat. All could have been shot. I've heard #DHS spin which does not match the video. It shows "training" to execute. #Trump loves deaths

I limit my viewing of #CBS to football, "Let's Make a Deal", and "The Price is Right". I know propaganda when I see and hear it. So, I choose to limit my "ear pollution". Thanks for listening.

The big difference is that President Obama did not make a reality show of Osama. Indeed, no optics, zilch, nada.

A soft-coup occurred on January 20, 2025, in the United States when Trump took office. My most humble opinion. 😍
