I remember Patel's promise during the campaign to "make a list" of people who said mean things about Little Lord Lardass

Trump’s thought police may already have your name in their database, which is growing — according to Kash Patel — at the rate of around 300% right now. They’re not looking for people who’ve committed crimes but, rather, people who they think may commit crimes in the future. Thought and opinion crimes.

We shouldn’t be surprised, as horrific as this is. When wannabe dictators are elected to lead countries and want to end their democracies and impose absolute rule, they typically follow a simple series of steps, sometimes referred to as “The Dictator’s Playbook.”

But key to their entire identity and supporting their base of power is their ability to identify “an enemy within” and convince enough of the population that these people represent such a danger to the nation that they must be suppressed.

If you’re a democrat or lean that direction, that’s you and me. And that’s now.

Doing what they were told isn't going to work.

Can't remember where or I'd post it, but it addressed Trump's "TOTAL IMMUNITY" and whether the SCOTUS would ever feel compelled to "re-define" it or challenge it.

The premise was that there would have to be court proceedings brought against Trump and his minions.

Then, they'd really have no choice, because if it went to the Federal courts, Trump would inevitably "appeal" it to the SCOTUS.

All I know is that America deserves better than to see these pricks slither off into a highly paid "Fox News Contributor" gig.
