The US Presidency is the most powerful position in the world.

The US Presidency is the most powerful position in the world.
There was never a US President who has used the power to eliminate those who personally disagree with him, in the USA. He is also doing everything he can to eliminate any checks on his power put on the Presidency by our Constitution.

This is not what the founding fathers wanted.

So you're saying when the FBI raided Trump's home it was just a social call? Idiot.

I doubt the Founders could even have conceived the Federal government, and particularly its bureaucracy as it exists today.

It stands to reason that any President has the inherent power to remove Federal officials who manifestly oppose his policies - the policies which got him elected. And when I say, "officials" I'm not talking about secretaries, administrators, managers, and specialists; I'm talking about the people in a position to implement policies. I GUARANTEE the Founders would have been appalled at the phenomenon of government employees working their entire careers with virtually absolute job security throughout. And more appalled at members of Congress making a career of it.

I watched some serious lawfare against Trump. It might not have been driven by Biden but members of his Party certainly abused the fact that their Party was in power in the WH and they did all they could do destroy him.

That was a rubicon that should never have been crossed. The rest of the worlds human rights are in decline, it is up to America to call it out, not become like us and, to protect your culture, history, election integrity and Constitution. If you succeed, we may all still succeed over time.

With all due respect this is pretty sweeping and general.
The founding fathers and mothers and their families lived it.

A complete waste of "due respect".

A complete waste of "due respect".

Casting pearls before swine.

Yes, and look at whom the two dictator parties offered as candidates. How can we take these two organizations seriously? They are not interested in anything but preserving and expanding the power they have arrogated to themselves.

 

[Mac1958]

This is not what the founding fathers wanted.

They tried to guard against this, they were pretty specific and clear about it, and yet here we are.

In general, the American public is simply not as educated and connected regarding our history and government. There are red flags everywhere, Europe is trying to warn us, and too many just don't give a shit. Or don't know any better.

Maybe we got too fat and lazy. But we're just letting this happen.

Letting ourselves go.
Way too fast way too lazy,
Way too busy making money.

Keeping up with the neighbors stupid trends, lost without a device.

But there's no law against any of it.
Which is nice.

Eliminate who? How?

First thing was the 2020 vote.
Have you been paying attention

everal reports indicate that Donald Trump has taken action against government officials who have been critical of him or his policies.
Examples of individuals reportedly targeted or removed:

• Individuals who testified during impeachment:
  • Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman: A decorated soldier and National Security aide who provided testimony during the first impeachment inquiry.
  • Michael Atkinson: The Inspector General for the Intelligence Community who handled the whistleblower complaint that initiated the impeachment process.
  • Marie Yovanovitch: The former Ambassador to Ukraine who testified during the impeachment inquiry.
• Individuals who criticized or contradicted his statements:
  • Christopher Krebs: A cybersecurity official who stated that the 2020 election was secure, contradicting Trump's claims of voter fraud.
  • Miles Taylor: A former Homeland Security official who authored an anonymous op-ed criticizing Trump's administration and later publicly voiced opposition.
  • General Mark Milley: Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, whom Trump has publicly criticized and stated he no longer needs.
  • Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper.
• Individuals based on recommendations from supporters:
  • Several White House National Security Council officials were reportedly fired following a meeting where far-right activist Laura Loomer presented opposition research against them.
• Inspectors General:
  • Reports indicate that Trump has fired numerous Inspectors General across the federal government, who are responsible for oversight and investigating waste, fraud, and abuse.
• Law firms:
  • Trump has reportedly targeted law firms that have challenged his policies or represented political opponents.

Further Actions and Context:

• Trump has reportedly used executive orders to direct investigations into former officials who have criticized him and revoked their security clearances.
• Some of these actions have faced legal challenges, with courts issuing injunctions or ruling against certain firings.
• Experts and legal scholars have described these actions as unprecedented and potentially unconstitutional, raising concerns about the impact on government accountability, freedom of speech, and the independence of government agencies.
• There are concerns that such actions could create a "chilling effect" on dissent and discourage individuals from speaking out against misconduct.

He had documents he should not have as did Biden. The FBI raided Biden's and Trump's homes plus Biden's office. That is what they should do. The judicial branchmakes the final decision if fair,
Read the Constitution.

Bullshit-they raided Bisen's home and office.
Educate yourself. You don't know what you don't know. As a result you are talking out of your ass.
Several recent events and reports relate to FBI investigations potentially impacting Democrats:

• FBI raids related to ballot fraud claims: The FBI addressed online videos falsely claiming the agency arrested Democrats for ballot fraud. These videos were identified as fake and potentially linked to Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining confidence in elections.
• FBI raids related to election betting site: The CEO of the election betting site Polymarket had his apartment raided and phone seized by the FBI in November 2024. The CEO, Shayne Coplan, alleged the raid was politically motivated due to the platform's prediction of a Donald Trump victory. Some outlets framed this as a potential weaponization of the justice system against political opponents.
• FBI arrests of judge and investigation into ActBlue: The Democratic party's website reported the FBI arrested a sitting judge, which they characterized as an "unprecedented attack on our court system". Additionally, former President Trump directed the Justice Department to investigate ActBlue, a major Democratic fundraising platform.
• Democrat-led concerns about politically motivated actions at the FBI: Some Democratic members of Congress have expressed concerns about potential politically motivated firings at the FBI, suggesting these actions could erode public trust and jeopardize national security. They have demanded answers from the Justice Department and FBI regarding these concerns.
• Past raid on Democratic Congressman's home: In January 2022, the FBI raided the home and campaign office of Democratic Congressman Henry Cuellar as part of a wide-ranging federal probe related to Azerbaijan. A grand jury was investigating, but it was unclear if Cuellar was a target at the time.
