Maddow Blog AG Pam Bondi announces investigation into another Trump foe: Nancy Pelosi

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

As this week got underway, Donald Trump’s decision to deploy federal forces to San Francisco was effectively a foregone conclusion. Though the president struggled to explain why, exactly, such a deployment was necessary, he nevertheless told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, “We’re going to go to San Francisco.”

As the week neared its end, those plans were shelved. According to a statement the Republican posted to his social media platform, Trump reversed course in part because San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie asked him to hold off in ways the president found satisfying, and in part because Trump had heard from some billionaire “friends” who persuaded him to delay his intended “surge.”

This isn’t how federal policymaking is supposed to work, especially when it comes to deployments of armed personnel on American soil, but this is our life now.

Nevertheless, because officials still believed Trump’s original rhetoric, they started making plans accordingly. With this in mind, The New York Times reported:

2. The object of power is power.

Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.
