Pretti was executed and DOH immediately, without investigation claimed Pretti was the aggressor and deserved to die. This is DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender), a deliberate manipulative tactic used by perpetrators of wrongdoing. But we have video, the internet, and our voices.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

HCR: β€œSeven Republican senators have now signed onto a bill that would limit Trump’s ability to impose tariffs.”

Good to see R pushback, but there needs to be a wave of resistance to Trump from both sides of the aisle, bills to limit executive overreach.

β€˜This Is Worse’: Trump’s Judicial Defiance Veers Beyond the Autocrat Playbook (Gift Article) The president’s escalating conflict with federal courts is even more aggressive than what happened in countries like Hungary and Turkey, experts say.

Traditionally, presidents and politicians who challenge/flount the law have been constrained by political fallout, bad press and public opinion. But Trump&Co's political capital grows from mocking, aggressive, even violent behavior.

Recently heard advice that it’s more effective to use your own words rather than the suggested script. But the scripts are very helpful.

I think this is an underestimated part of what's going on. The stupidity. It is true they don't care much about consequences. But also that they, notably Trump and Musk, don't understand them....
