A limited history of Trump’s expansion of presidential powers includes:
- The unilateral capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Máduro and deadly U.S. military strikes on suspected drug-running boats off that nation’s coast, as well as a threat to acquire Greenland.
- The targeting of Democratic-led cities with federal immigration agents — most recently Minneapolis — and National Guard troops.
- The threat to cut congressionally approved funding from institutions, including universities, that do not align with the administration’s ideology.
- The prosecution of political opponents and attacks on the free press.
Those actions and others, coupled with a cooperative GOP Congress, have created an unprecedented shift away from the United States’ democratic tradition and founding principles that establish a system of checks and balances, States Newsroom was told in extensive interviews over recent months.
I find it funny how it’s been a couple of days that we are seeing “this is the last straw” articles.
There shouldn’t be a “last straw” because in a normal functioning country, the first straw would have gotten him in prison for high treason.
And that first straw is not even from the last year.
America, you fucking elected a child rapist that 5 years ago orchestrated an insurrection and even publicly rooted for the people that invaded the capitol!
Yep it’s pretty fucking tragic. Every day I genuinely fail to understand how he’s not in prison and so many people just push and enable all of his worst impulses.
