Because of the flooding of the zone we’ve all been subjected to, it can be difficult to fully grasp some of the things he does and says. Don’t let this one slip by you. Sit with it. He is claiming the power to murder people whenever he feels like it. Judge, jury, and executioner. What comes next?
"Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Yeah."
Trump has abandoned even the pretext of following the law.

I joined my colleague, Senator Jeff Merkley, on the floor yesterday to help him explain how democracies die. There isn't one explosive moment - it is a slow consistent attack on opposition political speech until the rules are so rigged, only the regime can win elections.

By artificially lowering performance ratings across the board, agencies can more easily justify removals. It sets a trap turn yesterday’s “high performer” into today’s “underperformer,” and suddenly, long-serving public servants find themselves on shaky ground.
