Trump has put us in deep you-know-what — but we're going to triumph anyway | Opinion
Alternet ^ | March 16, 2025 | Robert Reich

I cannot say this any other way: We are in deep s----. These are truly scary and rough times.

Trump appears at the Justice Department and calls for his opponents to be jailed.

He “detains” students who have committed no crime but peacefully expressed their negative views about Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies in Gaza.

He invokes the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to remove unauthorized immigrants, without evidence or hearing.

Sides with Russia, China, and North Korea against Ukraine.

Purges career officials and installs political hacks more loyal to him than to the United States. Fires inspectors general. Demotes senior prosecutors.

Threatens law firms that represented people he considers his personal enemies.

Pardons the hoodlums who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

He and Musk mow down wide swathes of our government.

Republican lawmakers, fearful or unprincipled, say and do nothing.

Democrats are in disarray. Chuck Schumer green lights a continuing budget resolution that allows Musk and Trump to close down even more of our government.

And on it goes.

You have every right to feel depressed and enervated. You have every reason to despair.

But wait.

It’s possible that future generations will look back on this scourge and see something else — not just what was destroyed but also what was born.......

The backlash to Trump is growing. His disapproval ratings have jumped nearly 10 points since he was sworn in. People are flooding meetings and rallies, demanding an end to Trump and Musk’s reign. Bernie, AOC, and other progressive politicians are drawing huge crowds.

These are terrible times — the worst I’ve lived through, and I’ve lived through some bad ones. (Remember 1968? Nixon’s enemies list? Anyone old enough to recall Joe McCarthy’s communist witch hunts?)

A bald faced lie.

Anger management works..albeit slowly and not completely :)

The author would have more credibility if he noticed these very crimes being egregiously committed by the Biden administration.

While Robert Reich is campaigning for Joe Biden in Nevada, he goes to see a doctor. He tells the doctor “I have a terrible pain in my testicles.”

Doctor grabs a pair of scissors and approaches Robert Reich. Reich says “Oh no you don’t, you’re not cutting off my testicles!”

Doctor says “No, I’m just going to cut the tops off those new cowboy boots you’ve got on.”

REMOVAL OF ILLEGALS WITHOUT EVIDENCE????

THAT IS MAJOR LEAGUE STUPID.

IF THEY ARE INSIDE OUR BORDERS WITHOUT PROPER PAPERS/ PERMISSION——THAT IS ALL THE EVIDENCE WE NEED.

I’ll bet everything is “scary” to Bo Bo Reich with his diminutive size.
