It's being reported that the Pentagon is authorizing military lawyers to serve as immigration judges. This is a threat to the Constitution. Don't say we didn't warn you. From the archives:

When Trump expires, I wonder if Vance is so in the pocket of those around him that he will have to continue on with this inept crew or will he try and create a new administration with his own nefarious people.

It's not about complicity, it's about focus. In the current climate, the focus must be Trump, or we are all doomed. This country is going down a road it may not return from. Should Clinton be investigated? Definitely if the evidence is there. But Trump is the threat now. Focus.

And you're proud of this? There is so little news here. I watched, thinking there would be some great reveal but It's mostly innuendo. Also, why were u given an 8 minute spot on Clinton when Trump, who has greater ties to Epstein, is our current president? Your next project: Biden's mental decline?

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.
