Happy 4th of July
Will we have one next year?
Happy 4th of July to all my American Friends.
Sadly, it may be our last.
Thanks to yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling, Trump can now pursue his Project 2025 plans without fear of punishment or restraint.
What to watch for?
To hear Trump and his allies tell it, this is how early 2025 would unfold if he wins:
A re-elected Trump will set up vast camps and deport millions of people in the U.S. illegally. He will invoke the Insurrection Act and use troops to lock down the southern border.
In Washington, Trump will move to fire tens of thousands of civil servants using a controversial interpretation of law and procedure. He’d replace many of them with pre-vetted loyalists. — — My husband is a civil servant.
He’ll centralize power over the Justice Department, historically an independent check on presidential power. He plans to nominate a trusted loyalist for attorney general and has threatened to target and even imprison anyone who opposes him. He can also demand the federal cases against him cease immediately.
Many of the Jan. 6 convicts could be pardoned — a promise Trump has made at campaign rallies, where he hails them as patriots, not criminals.
