JFC. These articles are absolute garbage.

"Uncharted territory" in this case, is Trump blatantly violating the Constitution...by the letter, as well as in spirit. The fact that the media is still breathlessly wondering if this crosses a line or not, tells you exactly which side of that line they are on.

There is no ambiguity here, so stop acting like it's still a question. He is openly breaking the law, and violating people's Constitutional rights. Pretending that he isn't, is pure gaslighting.

Welcome to Lemmy. This is a much better read that describes what is going on, but I didn’t post it because it’s older.

Oh, we're there. I'm not sure how much deeper into crisis we can get.

Lots of dead people. That’s how much deeper it will get.

People will begin to fight the military and it will go from terrible to even somehow worse

This territory has been charted before

Germany 1933-1945

The territory has been charted by countless dictators before.

That's one prime example of the "strongly worded email".
