The are telling all of us that if we oppose their actions, we should know they're unfettered by the rule of law & feel free to assault anyone.

If you are wondering who is driving the White House bus, consider Trump acolyte and influencer of the American carnage 2017 inaugural speech, Stephen Miller. Americans have turned ‘governance of a nation’ to ultra-right, autocratic buffoons in search of purpose.
