Trump’s radical orders wreak havoc, attack terror

We have been on this path before with Trump, but not with such a complete accelerator. Most of the republican legislators and advisors join around their leader and point out holy how horrible it was the presidency of Joe Biden and the alleged mandate that the US electorate gave Trump. There may be a small but significant republican minority that feels otherwise but are too crowded to defend the country, for fear of the remuneration of a vengeful stalker. Even the Supreme Court seems reluctant to prevent Trump’s power.

The old Latin phrase “Quis custodiet Ipsos custodes” comes to mind: who protects those who protect us?

The attempt of President Trump to redefine the citizenship of birth rights through the executive order is blatantly unconstitutional (“The judge blocks Trump’s birth rights order”, Page A1, January 24). In decades of serving as an assistant prosecutor of the United States, I do not remember seeing another executive action that will clearly violate the Constitution. The reckless proclamations signed with Trump Scarp are not only illegal, but are counterproductive.

For example, the United States has an orderly process, well overturned and years to admit foreigners that help the war efforts of our nation. This assistance is vital to save the life of service members in any war. In Trump’s first week, he Recklessly suspended this process For innumerable Afghan, many of whom risked their lives providing intelligence, interpreter services and another valuable assistance to our military.

The brave young people and women in our army were offered as volunteers to defend our nation of foreign adversaries, not to camp in remote sections of Our edge and install the concert cable to barrior people looking for refuge from persecution, war or natural disasters. In fact, our troops are prohibited by the law to carry out tasks of application of the law under the POSSE Commitatus Law. In addition, Trump CBP One application elimination He has turned an orderly process into a chaotic situation on the southwest border.

There is a detailed report of presentation investigation that establishes a criminal record, of education and labor for each person convicted of a crime on January 6, 2021. instead of establishing the Department of Justice with a promised review of the case -by -case case of each Of these PSI reports and make rational decisions, Trump issued blank pubs. Our president shamefully excused the illegal violence that seriously damaged the Capitol Police officers.

Four years of continuous incompetence, and worse, from this White House they will place the United States in a state of decline.

President Trump and his many henchmen and henchmen know that by launching attacks on public services agencies against a wall, some will stick. The resulting ravages will prevent substantial progress in any business of Congress, resulting in a greater distrust of a government that, since the 1940s, has made the expansion of rights and opportunities for all citizens a priority.

Shame for him and his cronies.

Donald Trump’s opening week as president exceeded the expectations of corruption and cruelty. As gloomy as it was, I suspect that its final agenda is to establish the table for an attack on voting rights. During the campaign, He reflected the followers that if they chose it, they would not have to worry about another choice. He has already “joked” about running for a third term, and sooner or later his jokes transform into “many people have told me …” A republican member of Congress It has already begun to talk about legislation for this to happen.

Trump has always demonstrated his ability to go down. And with the Supreme Court apparently prepared to give him the right to do what he wants, Trump will continue to be imposing (except for a handful of billionaires).

I am quite sure that this is not what the original 1776 patriots had in mind.

Among the welter of the changes that have emanating from our new president, a particular directive seems to have lost in all the noise and has received very little comments, namely that federal employees I should inform colleagues Those who do not follow their directive to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion policies.

This is not just alarming. It is scary. It could be the first small step in an authoritarian regime that makes us spies so that the neighbors can no longer trust each other. We have seen this game before in other countries, and the results are chilling.

Until now, the Make America Great Again movement has never defined when the United States was great. With movements to eliminate Dei policies, and with a governmental apparatus populated by billionaires, we see that Maga wants to transfer the United States to the era of the thief of the late nineteenth century.
