Have you noticed America's shift to the right is picking up steam? It's not a flood (yet) but easily could become one. For example:
Did you know the U.S. Marshals Service has deputized members of Elon Musk's private security detail? By doing so, these unknown figures now have rights and protections of federal law enforcement officers. Does this mean if you end up on Musk's radar, these "marshals" can knock down your door anytime they want? Personally, I'd like Musk to tell the public exactly who these people are and how many have been deputized. And second ...
Did you hear about the letter Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach) just received from the DOJ? Apparently, his comment that Elon Musk is a "d--k" didn't sit well with U.S. Attorney Edward Martin. He has given Garcia until tomorrow to respond. In the meantime, here's what Garcia has said: "We are living in a dangerous time, and elected members of Congress must have the right to oppose the Trump Administration. We will not be silenced."
Deputizing private citizens and restricting freedom of speech were the building blocks of Nazi Germany in the early 1930s. Back then, good people refused to believe the worst could happen. If you ask me, we are beginning to witness similar events here at home. If this is true, then my question is this: Will people stand up for the rule of law and nip these injustices in the bud now, or will they turn their backs and allow our cherished freedoms to be methodically whittled away?
As always, I encourage you to respond.
Could someone please deputize me since Congress is unable to act on our behalf? To whom do we turn?
I gave $$$ to the democrats and to specific campaigns starting with Obama's first term. But I didn't have $20 million to give to Trump's campaign. I keep saying that money doesn't vote - I vote. But I have been proved wrong today. I have never been despondent because we had checks and balances and now they are gone. We cannot repeat the horrors of nazi Germany. We need the rest of the world to help us stop the U S Tyrant.
I honestly believe that people don't have a clue as to what is happening. I also believe that people believe "it can't happen here." People will only wake up when the destruction of the government impacts their lives.
