The administration is stealing immigrants’ due process by: making it clear that if judges don’t rule the way the administration wants, they will be fired; giving judges so many cases that they can’t possibly give each case the attention they deserve; and hiring poorly trained judges whose job is just to order deportations, not to determine if deportation is appropriate.

Hunter Biden defended his original “sweet deal” criminal agreement as appropriate based on the circumstances, then a conservative and Republican bullshit propaganda machine tricked the American public into thinking it wasn’t a normal and just deal.
People claimed Joe Biden as president intervened for his son somehow, without evidence and while Hunter Biden was being treated unfairly by the justice department based on propaganda.
Hunter eventually got a pardon, but only after, even while Joe was president, the justice department was treating him unfairly based on propaganda, and after Trump was elected who was speaking like he intended to weaponize the justice system rather than prosecute people justly.

The Trump administration is using dishonest legal tactics to get away with their crusade to gather the medical records of transgender children.
A biased judge defying the law out of ideology or/and partisan bias, is helping the Trump administration and weakening America’s rule of law.

Trump and his supporters grossly exaggerated political corruption and falsely called things corruption that were not. Trump was supposed to drain the swamp of corruption and clean the government. Instead, he has made the United States the swamp he and his supporters claimed it was.

“Trump sued the IRS and the Treasury Department for $10 billion in January, accusing the agencies of failing to prevent a leak of the president’s tax information during his first term.
The DOJ is now holding internal discussions about potentially settling the case
…
This is a novel case given that Trump oversees the IRS, and two parties in a lawsuit must be on opposite sides.”

Trump and his supporters ludicrously exaggerated the extent that Biden or Democrats were committing lawfare, then got into office and are repeatedly in a black and white manner abusing the power of justice to target political opponents on charges that don’t make sense to waste police, Justice Department, and lawyer resources on.
Officials and lawyers are acting in ways that are illegal, and should be appropriately prosecuted and punished for these blatant abuses of power. One reason many seasoned lawyers have quit rather than fulfill Trump’s requests to prosecute political opponents is because they fear just and appropriate disbarment.

We’ve got to be able to have fair, reasonable ways to tax the super wealthy without demonizing them.
The wealthy pay a lot, however, due to how incredibly much they have, and inequality, they still don’t pay their fair share. The goal of taxation is to pay for government in the least harmful way possible, not to liquidate the rich. Fair taxation and reasonable welfare policy is good. Class warfare is evil. A society that taxes in order to end billionaires, or that uses rhetoric that endangers the wealthy, will be a violent and repressive society–either because the masses will turn authoritarian and violent, or because the wealthy will out of fear.

“”I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on May 15.”
The idea that you could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Comey meant sharing a number as a true threat of violence is far-fetched. This is lawfare and is another step toward the end of the Republic.

Ironically, right-wing nationalists that claim to focus on the priorities of their own country, are heavily funded and aided by foreign oligarchs and dictators. CPAC and the Heritage Foundation receive such foreign funding. Before Trump’s rise, Russia scouted Trump as a talent that could help them.

Trump and Patel have moved the FBI relatively more toward politics and optics and away from the criminal justice mission.
FBI agents were pulled away from their work to focus on immigration, despite that ICE got massive funding and a mass of new ICE agents.
FBI agents determined that people were peacefully protesting and that there was nothing to investigate. The Trump administration ordered them to investigate anyways.
Some FBI agents were pushed out or forced to quit on principle. These were trained agents doing their jobs well, now out of the agency.
The way Trump runs the bureaucracy is similar to how many dictators run their bureaucracies. He hires, promotes, and fires based on loyalty, not competency. Overtime, this makes agencies less effective, less principled, less competent, more corrupt, and more loyal to the dictator. This is how many dictators have ineffective governments, and their people suffer as a result.
