IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

Demolition of the Republic

Justinian in Corruption, Donald Trump, Roger Fitch Esq, US attorney general, US
politics
Self-coup
underway ... Crime and punishment run rife ... Loyalty to Trump replaces the
Constitution at the Justice Department ... Musketeers eat away at the core of
government ... Private equity takeover ... Democrats dither ... Roger Fitch
files from Washington
"Who can
deny but the president general will be a king to all intents and purposes, and
one of the most dangerous kind too; a king elected to command a standing army
... The President-general, who is to be our king after this government is
established, is vested with powers exceeding those of the most despotic monarch
we know of in modern times ... I challenge the politicians of the whole
continent to find in any period of history a monarch more absolute ..." - Benjamin Workman
("Philadelphiensis"), American Anti-Federalist who warned in 1787-88
that the proposed Constitution would centralise power to an appalling degree,
especially in the executive branch.
"Like a
clogged sewer erupting into the streets, Donald Trump returned to office on
Monday, and, as promised, unleashed his filth upon the country. In a flurry of
lawless, unconstitutional, racist, bigoted, violent, and, in some cases,
plainly stupid executive orders and pardons, Trump set his reign of terror in
motion. The future we feared has officially arrived." - Ely
Mystal on the inauguration.
The 119th
Congress has stood down. Majority Republicans are
forgoing their constitutional Article I obligations, acquiescing fully in
Donald Trump's shocking, continuing, executive coup.
A self-coup like Louis Napoleon's,
it resumes the failed January 6, 2020 plot. Even so, it took most by surprise.
Just as Donald
Trump was the first president elected after the supreme court gutted the
protections of the Voting Rights
Act, he is now, thanks to the same court, the
first president effectively
above the law. He can't be criminally prosecuted, even
for blatantly illegal acts.
Immediately after
inauguration, Trump began crimes and unlawful acts on a
scale unknown in America, or perhaps any democracy since 1933, when Adolf
Hitler demolished
the Weimar Republic in 53 days.
How
long will it take Donald Trump? Not long, judging from his administrative
actions and executive orders, e.g, his dangerous and
highly-unconstitutional "invasion"
order, the immigration
orders that followed, and more. Dozens
of lawsuits against the illegal acts have been filed.
