67. Knowing that Trump's Gestapo...
Sat Apr 26, 2025, 06:49 AM
Apr 2025

... has arrested two judges who had the temerity to disagree with him isn't enough to terrify you?
These guys are already so deep into batshit crazy criminality that laws, and especially that pesky Constitution, don't mean squat to them anymore, if it ever did.
Trump will keep doubling down and pushing the envelope, 'cause that's the way he's hardwired. It's a strategy that has always worked for him before. But his dim, litigious lizard-brain is slowly discovering that his adversaries ain't gonna back down this time. so he's gonna go supernova, and then the proverbial substance is gonna hit the fan with a splat heard round the world.
Duck and cover, ol' buddy!
