Perhaps This is How Ordinary Germans felt during Hitler's Reign

 I don't want to see US military troops in American cities.  As an AWFUL woman writing this, I am opening myself up to intimidation and reprisals which are happening all over the United States if you dare to disagree with this presidential administration.  Of course, this President is  blatantly breaking the law over and over again.  He, and his family, make the Tea Pot dome scandals of Harding's administration look like nickel and dime fraud.  

Check and balances which the general public has relied on for over 200 years is now a joke.  The courts are packed from the Supreme Count on down through the Appellate Courts.  Mitchell McConnell, former Senate Republican leader, blocked a hearing for a Supreme Court judge for over a year as well as dragging his feet on other judicial appointments. The Justice Department has been systematically stripped of lawyers who were assigned to any investigation into the shenanigans of the current administration.  If you do dissent, expect to be the target of lawsuits aimed at punishing and intimidating opposing views.  

Now, we are expected to not believe our own eyes.  I've looked at as many videos as I can find about the claim Good (the woman in Minnesota who was killed while unarmed) hit an ICE agent with her car.  Didn't happen.  The ICE agent's response was way, way out of proportion to the situation.  This is just another example of intimidation now directed toward not just dissenters but specifically female dissenters.  If that isn't bad enough, news outlets owned by Trump sympathizers, are putting out stories about supposed 'internal bleeding' of the ICE agent.  Blatantly false.  Look for yourself.  

When you have a chief executive convicted of sexual assault in a department store dressing room (how tacky), as well using disgusting insults against women whenever it suits him; a strong case can be made this administration is misogynistic.  Now, a woman has been killed who dared to protest against the administration's immigration policies.  Those same policies are becoming more and more unsavory to more and more Americans.  The National Guard has been called out over and over in Democrat led states without their presence being requested.  Once again, it's taken judicial rulings to force removal of the soldiers in those states.  And, how do you like the ICE agents in their masks?  I don't.  Not one bit.  

Congressionally approved funding has been frozen.  For example, it took another lawsuit to unfreeze funds directed for programs, including food, for POOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.   Now, there are illegal military orders to bomb boats in international waters, and to depose a foreign President.  International intimidation is being used to steamroll over Denmark and other European countries who oppose the idea of the US taking over Greenland.  Was Congress consulted in any of these illegal activities?  Nope.  Contrary to this President's belief, US Presidents are not supposed to have unlimited power.    

This President has already led an insurrection trying to block national election results.   He has pardoned drug dealers; people convicted of fraud; and the true domestic terrorists who participated in the January 6th insurrection.   He has personally enriched himself and his family to a shocking extent according to a US congressional committee report:  New Report Exposes the Trump Family’s Multi-Billion-Dollar Crypto Empire, Fueled by Self-Dealing and Corrupt Foreign Interests | U.S. House Judiciary Committee Democrats.  

I've always considered myself a good citizen, but I'm just ordinary with no 'power'.  I keep up trying to ascertain the truth about issues from multiple sources.  I vote in all elections.   I understand the Constitution and how government is supposed to work.  I have a major in American history, so I know my country's history.  Never have I seen democracy so continually, and systematically challenged - and I lived through the Watergate era.  The current executive branch's intimidation methods and unlawful extension of power is frightening, alarming and is the path toward fascism.
