"... Bottom line: Trump declared war on anyone not kneeling before him.
"The White House issued an official list of Trump’s recissions of Biden executive orders, plus a multi-page list of his own Christmas morning gifts to himself, to his oligarch allies, and finally to his political ones. The Associated Press reports that with the executive orders Trump signed, he 'began his immigration crackdown, withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accords and sought to keep TikTok open in the U.S.' He also 'pardoned hundreds of people for their roles in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.'
"If you thought 'stand back and stand by' was a winking signal to Trump’s would-be Sturmabteilung in 2020, with those pardons on Monday he all but began peddling armbands and Sam Browne belts online. Locking and loading will come later..." -- Tom Sullivan, Hullabaloo, on the Malignant Fascist's opening shots in a war against the rest of us. Sadly, for now anyway, some of "us" aren't fully comprehending what's going on, or are choosing to whistle past their graveyard (looking at you, Schumer, Klobuchar, and Fetterman). Where are your norms now? Do you seriously think the Malignant Fascist, with Republican SCOTUS- provided immunity, is going to adhere to the laws and the Constitution (especially when his many judicial appointments won't).
If our "leaders" don't sack up and quick, it looks like this is going to have to be a bottom-up resistance (again).
BONUS: Good read on the foolishness of trying to work with the fascists.
