Trump has let his hellhounds loose as he consolidates his power more every day.
There may not be an Epstein list, but Trump has a mile long list of perceived enemies and he's going after them like a honey badger on meth lately.
You may have noticed Trump just went after John Bolton, his former national security advisor, claiming he was in possession of classified records after an early morning raid by the FBI. Hiding classified records. Wait. That sounds familiar to me. Oh yeah, once upon a time the FBI went after Trump's stolen classified documents (hidden in his Mar-a-Lago lairs bathroom).
But I digress. You may have noticed the pattern where Trump accuses people of crimes that he himself has committed and mostly gotten away with. Bolton's real crime was criticizing Trump in his book.
I admit I gagged when I heard what FBI director Kash Patel told ABC news, "NO ONE is above the law ..." when asked to comment on the search. OMG! Democrats have been saying that for years but now it's looking like someone is above the law after all.
Yesterday Trump threatened "harsh measures" against the state of Colorado if they don't immediately free convicted election denier, Tina Peters, who was found guilty a year ago. What does that mean? Just guessing but if Trump follows form, he'll retaliate by withholding federal funding. Maybe a pardon. Why not? He pardoned over 1,500 criminals who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a failed coup attempt, as a reward for their loyalty to him... not the Constitution.
It is obvious Trump has empathy for criminals but not for colored people. His sudden interest in Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's partner who was convicted of sex trafficking, is sending out red flags.
His base want's all of the Epstein Files released and he's under pressure to please them. And he doesn't want Maxwell to share what she really knows about him. Maxwell has the upper hand having been given immunity by Trump's lawyer and getting moved to the most minimum-security prison in the country. After an inmate complained about having a child molester in their ranks the woman who complained was transferred to a maximum-security prison the next day. That's called holding all the cards.
The recently stepped-up attack against his critics is being driven by a desire to divert the public away from the Epstein Files. He might not have rolled out his state takeover strategy so early if he wasn't under the intense spotlight right now.
MAGA battles are being won and lost in the courts every day. It's a high stakes game that will have detrimental effects on democracy. A demented felon is holding the fate of our country in his tiny hands. The scary thing is I doubt if we've even seen how far Trump will go yet.
As it Stands, I feel like I'm documenting the fall of a nation, and it's not a good feeling.
