In light of the news that Dan Bongino will be the Kash Patel's Deputy FBI Director, I am reposting what I wrote a few weeks ago. "Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that the very same red-white-and-holy-shit-they’re-stupids flying “don’t tread on me” flags are also like “hell yeah he’s our motherfucking king! Cry harder Libs!” Explain this to me like I’m 5 and not smarter than all of them combined. Please.

I get it. This is all so overwhelming. Many of you have decided it's over. You have that right. But it isn't over. They say that fascism can be defeated at the beginning of a regime. If you have given up, okay. That's for you to deal with. I have not.

I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

An alarming declaration not only attempting to justify Trump’s illegal actions, but also a thinly veiled call to action for the MAGA mob. Trump’s contempt for the rule of law is evident in both his words and actions. He is wildly attacking our government, including the U.S. Constitution’s system…

An hourly reminder that DOGE is not about Elon Musk cutting government money waste, it is about wasting more government money on Elon Musk. Here is Elon cutting NASA, a government agency that his private company competes with for federal funding. They aren't even bothering to hide the corruption.

Trump never fit into New York Society, so New York became his enemy. Then Trump was rejected by America in 2020. Trump doesn’t want revenge against his political opponents. He wants revenge against America. This is the only way to clearly understand Trump’s actions to destabilize America.
