Trump wants FBI agents who investigated his coup attempt, his facilitating espionage, or his other financial and criminal activities fired.
Let’s be very clear: this is how dictatorships start.
A guy who wants to be a dictator always begins by changing how the government works. Even though the majority of the nation had agreed previously that the government should do certain things in certain ways, he reassures everybody he’s got a better way and it’ll all work out.....
In the process, he breaks a bunch of laws, but people mostly shrug because they don’t directly affect them. Pastor Niemöller wrote about this in 1930s Germany; to paraphrase: First they came for the government workers…
He will realign our democratic country away from democratic allies and toward countries run by dictators like he aspires to become....
He will remake our criminal justice system so it becomes more violent and brutal, opening prisons for “the worst of the worst“ in places beyond the reach of law, like Auschwitz in Poland or Guantánamo in Cuba....
He will proclaim grand plans and spectacular efforts, like the Autobahn or remaking Gaza, Greenland, and Panama. They will distract the public from the relentless, grinding destruction of the guardrails of government itself.....
Elon Musk and Donald Trump seem to think they can pull this off in a matter of weeks, and so far — because of the cowardice of Republican legislators and the disorganization and lack of leadership among Democrats — they may be right.
Unless we all stand up and speak out now.

It’s a republic you jerk wad.
Who knew this deluded propagandist was still out there. This guy is just shameless.
Dictatorships start when you use State Law Enforcement for political partisan purposes and there is no accountability.
Not applicable since according to the U.S. Constitution, America is a Republic. The Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag confirms it. Too bad no one pays attention or cares.
They aren’t likely to fire this militant satan-lover. Alternet is a left-leaning website.
Oh thom.......
Doesn’t take much of a search to discover that this author is a Zelensky/Ukraine propagandist.
Ditch McConnell?
I can't believe this communist curmudgeon is still around. Haven't heard from him in years. Did his USAID paycheck bounce and now he needs to earn his keep again?
Why didn’t these commie piggies throw these tantrums when their boy Joe Pedo was pulling off his shenanigans with little Hunter? HYPOCRITE AHOS.

Sounds like the gestapo and SS don’t want their records reviewed.
The federal executive branch needs a reset. Unfortunately we got stuck with a legacy 36.2 trillion debt that has to be factored into this situation. But the current programs/processes have got to be trimmed way down. One agency off to a good start on this is USAID. I got to praise their current leadership team for doing a good job.
Dear Alt Left Morons
Remember “no one is above the law” and if “they did nothing wrong they have nothing to fear?
That applies TO you as well you pathetic screaming hysteric children
Thom Hartmann. wouldn’t that be Biden, for that is exactly what he did to Trump, and he tried to silence us who know that the election was stolen, because 881 million people did not vote for Biden in the 2020 election. At best there were 81 million ballots cast for Biden, illegally, where 50 million were bogus.
Not when it’s sarcasm. Guess I should have used the “/s” tag.
This screwball’s article is an unabashed violation, from start to finish, of Godwin’s law:
Godwin’s law (or Godwin’s rule), short for Godwin’s law of Nazi analogies, is an Internet adage asserting: “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.” OK, who triggered Trotsky?
Which one of you apes pulled this commie’s string ring? 😃
Never give up the con.
