BREAKING: Stephen Millerβboth Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

As you read reports of 8 GOP senators reasonably suspected of being involved in a coup plot intended to violently overthrow our democracy being investigated by the FBI, do remember that the FBI they were investigated by was run by a man appointed by Donald Trump.
Biden had f*ck-all to do with it.

The βdual stateβ theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianismβbut make it look like the rule of law.
βThe reality is that the court is adjusting the law to make place for arbitrary power.β
To understand the Supreme Court's role in Trump's authoritarian project, I turned to the idea of a dual state: an authoritarian regime that keeps up a facade of normalcy

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3
Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.β These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursionβand indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.
