Never in my life time would I have believed the United States would have a president who is guilty of crimes against humanity. Trump and his regime as well as the supporting Republican Congress are guilty of exactly this.

Write to them and ask to revoke Presidential immunity now.

An action has to be formally initiated before such a thing could happen. And it's unlikely that the majority on this court would ever reverse their own ruling because it would be an admission of their partisanship and defective interpretation of law.

Trump doesn't like MAGAs but views them as marks for exploitation and his personal profit. He's allergic to intelligent people and fires anyone who is smarter than himself because he is afraid they realize his shortcomings. He's safe with ignorant people and destroying education automatically makes him safe plus it gives him a ego power boost to take down someone smarter than himself. In general Republicans in Office agree with this as do TV Evangelicals. Both groups need ignorant people to support them.

Other tyrannical regimes targeted the well-educated, like Hitler & the Nazis, which Trump & this regime are emulating, the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia, & the Hutus against the Tutsis in Rwanda.

Keep them dumb, he likes them that way.

Absolute threat to his Cabal by having individuals and groups that are independent thinkers. Full blown disgrace.

This REGIME is following Viktor Orban’s plan book. Now military members will be prosecuted if they criticize Trump , Vance, or anyone in this REGIME. They’re not permitted to say negative comments on duty, off duty, or on social media. WE ARE NEXT. They’re trying to control our voices and schools by dictating what we can and cannot say. RESIST, DEFEND, PROTEST JUNE 6 in WASHINGTON DC.

🇦🇺The one thing I can’t digest is the fact that Trump is doing all this to his own people. I’ve only ever witnessed true dictatorship in North Korea etc. where they seem to hate their population.

USA is literally turning dictatory as we speak.

Our prime minister is up for reelection and the main fight between the two main candidates is over who’s going to help the Oz population more. Who’s going to give out the biggest grants and increase social security benefits.

Not saying the government will deliver on all they say, but they’ll do more for the people than Trump ever would.

Thank god I’m an Aussie, I really feel bad for y’all in the USA.

Gee, helping one's fellowmen and returning some of their tax money to them via programs to solve problems. What a concept!!!! Here in the US the current regime wants to return us to a feudalistic society, one with lords and peons with no more upward mobility.

That's why Hegseth purged any high ranking officers who might refuse to carry out an illegal order or who might take over the politicians' roles. This fight will be won in the streets.

Really good read, Adam 💙 It's appalling what this administration is doing and we need to continue to call them out at every absurd turn they take.

Keep spreading the truth, Adam. We need all the antidotes to right wing extremist media we can get. Too bad the old folks are glued to Fox, but once their Social Security checks don't come and they get kicked out of nursing homes because the GOP may get rid of Medicaid that pays for their care, then, and only then, might they reconsider their positions.

I’m one of the people you refer to as “the old people”. I don’t have the stomach for Fox’s b.s., I was among the first of any age to demand people stop licking their wounds , get out of their stupors and stand up against tyranny. I spend hours at a time on various online groups speaking up and sharing postings . Without the old people who were there at the beginning, you wouldn’t have computers to spread the word and be informed. Youth is wonderful, but age and experience and long memories aren’t dispensable. I’ve been watching the slow, inexorable, determined “progress” of the hard right for decades. It takes everything we can all bring to the effort to resist oppression.

I, too, have been an activist ever since high school back in the '50s, so my comment was not intended to cast a net beyond the multitude brainwashed by Fox. But it has been those who became more conservative in their senior years who've done a lot to bring us to this sorry point in our history, and that includes half the members of my own family, those whose only source of the news is Fox.
