If major media haven't reached the obvious conclusion that Trump is building a dictatorship, they're lousy journalists.
If they've reached that conclusion but are purposely keeping it from the public, they're lousy Americans.

They keep saying don’t make it political but they keep making everything political. What they’re really saying is don’t remind me that this is my fault because I cannot own up to my own incompetence and if you do I’ll attack you to make myself feel better because all that matters is how I feel.

The U.S President cannot revoke any organization’s tax-exempt status. To do so is in fact a violation of his oath of office to faithfully execute the laws of this country.
If allowed to stand, you could/will be next.
Acquiescence today. Cower tomorrow.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important:
He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

Ask yourself why.
He needs to destroy it all for two reasons.

2. When it’s totally destroyed he’ll claim “ Only I can fix it”
