Multiple things are true here.

This is a fascist, authoritarian administration.

It has not yet fully consolidated power.

Some of its efforts to do so have been frustrated.

Trump is a doddering, confused egomaniac who started an unpopular war that's costing everyday people a lot of money.

Has always been in various ways. But very definitely since 14-Dec-00, Bush v. Gore.

That's the best you can do? The questions were raised in the 1980s with this demented, authoritarian pedophile. It's 10 years past time for answers; your party seems paralyzed and incapable of formulating any. We want answers. NOW. Will your party impeach, convict, remove if we give you Congress?

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

Amy Klobuchar

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

He should be calling for Catholic troops to leave the Armed Forces.

We're pretending here that what the troops do matches Catholic teaching. Jesus wouldn't double tap a school. Jesus wouldn't bomb fishing boats. Just War doctrine doesn't cover murdering a 15yo with a drone.

This is pure Nazi shit.

And I do not understand why Congressional Democrat leadership has not been able to see it.

Anyone who knows anything about the history of the Holocaust has long been able to see the historical parallels - today's is far from the first.

Andy Craig

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

It matters that she's a member of Congress. This is an extreme escalation. He is attacking a member of the one body with the constitutional power to hold him accountable and check his crimes. And he's doing so trying to gin up a fake basis to strip her of her eligibility to be in Congress.
