7. "enemy of the state" - That's how a dictator talks.
Tue Jan 30, 2018, 10:00 AM
Jan 2018

Trump has already ordered a government wide purge. He's surrounded himself with generals and constantly lauds the military and law enforcement. He has staffed his administration with fanatical loyalists, avowed to serve Trump, not the Constitution. Trump has upended the norms of governance without any effective resistance to stop his inexorable march to fascism.

Where is all the going? What are we going to look like when Trump is gone?

So, the Republican Trump base is scared. We are living in a dangerous time. I fear for Rep Schiff. riversedge Jan 2018 #1
