It's a bit more complicated than that.
Putin has invested billions in spreading propaganda in the US. Once he started, right wing Americans helped spread and amplify his lies.

This is a detailed film about how deceptive Russia's campaign has been since before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

He disappeared for 3 days a month or so ago.
He almost died of Covid in October 2020, spent a week at W-R and was afraid to appoint Pence per 25th.
He had a heart attack in Nov 2019.

MAGA in Congress are already fracturing, his death would create havoc and chaos.

We're overwhelmed w daily outrages.
Homan takes a $50k cash bribe: crickets.
DOJ indicts Comey, James to an uproar.
Court rules against sending NG to Chicago a small victory but...
We can stop this descent into dictatorship, preferably nonviolently or destroy the Constitution by defending it.

I don't think any more Canadians want to experience American ICE-Gestapo tactics.

Isn't this also a violation of the Presidential Records Act that requires copies of all correspondence be archived?

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

He said he would get rid of free speech and he's trying to do it however he can!

DOJ rules are not to present information to a grand jury unless there is some certainty of gaining a conviction.
The recent indictments are fear-mongering tactics intended to intimidate others and ensure their silence. There is a good chance these indictments will never result in a trial!

You're right in so many ways. Statements made about Hitler 80+ years ago are very appropriate today w this regime.

Norway was invaded. The man who collaborated w the Nazis, Quisling, was tried, convicted and executed after the war. Quisling is now a synonym for traitor.

What's your point?
This report is from 2021.

I'm more concerned about ICE-Gestapo disappearing immigrants every day.

That would be prosecution for crimes against humanity at the World Court in the Hague. Also, his portrait should never be seen in any government building after he is no longer in office. He's a disgrace!

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

We can't be silent about what is now deemed 'political'. Empathy is not a personality flaw.

The US is in serious jeopardy of losing every semblance of a democratic republic.

The only person who can suspend habeas corpus is POTUS. Lincoln did it during the Insurrection of 1860. It is ONLY to be used in exigent circumstances and nothing happening now meets that criteria.
His idiotic claims that cities in the US are burning to the ground proves he's lost his sanity.

Consider being pulled over by some 'law enforcement agency' armed w long guns and no identification.
You have no rights when a firearm is aimed at you and your family. Live or die are the only choices.
Beware of government agencies operating w/o government oversight. Bad things are happening now!
