Yes. People cant believe what is happening right in front of their eyes because it is America.

Exactly

Absolutely spot on but we really need to put an end to calling places 'third world'

You’re doing what about it?

As with everything horrible occurring in our country, we’re doing nothing about it. We’ll just continue to bitch and moan all the way to a full-blown dictatorship. But if you’re expecting us Americans to make sacrifices for the greater good and to even fight for our democracy, don’t hold your breath

Pretty soon the US won’t be a first world country.

Just for accuracy Dubya did a purge over at the InJustice Department when he was appointed. The Orange Felon did another purge over at the InJustice Department during his first fake prezidency. So purges are what republicans are all about.

Or how about the nationalization of our law firms and the silencing of our media and the hijacking of our health care and the militarization of our society.

That’s what they are calling it on France 24

Hi Bill, in your opinion, will we ever recover from this?

You were instrumental in paving the way for this. You helped lie us into the Iraq war. You helped silence the media and critics and the truth. This is your playbook pal.

This is the second one I've heard about today. The other one worked on the Russian case against Trump and investigated the Hunter Biden laptop thing.

Trump's justice department is useless, just wastes its resources on childish, vindictive retribution.

Retribution spree continues.

Trump’s next steps:

1- Purge the government.
2- Subjugate journalism, media, law firms, universities, companies, and military leaders.
3- Incite violence.
4- Martial law!

It’s quite chilling to follow the “Purge” line of thinking — Stalin purged his entire MILITARY of disloyalty. How far can this be from the regime’s plans? It’s the perfect combination with Martial Law.
