The Trump administration isn’t just acting illegally with domestic actions, but foreign policy actions. Assassinating criminals, even in foreign territory, is murder.

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.”

“”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.

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.

“Attorneys representing immigrants held at the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site alleged Friday in federal court that guards beat and pepper-sprayed detainees after a protest over lost phone access — allegations they argue show state and federal officials defying a recent court order protecting detainees’ civil rights.”

“NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration this week acknowledged it made a significant error in figures it used to help justify a fraud probe into New York’s Medicaid program, a glaring mistake that undercuts a federal campaign to tackle waste, mostly in Democratic-led states.
The error, which the administration admitted first to The Associated Press, prompted health analysts to question how many of the Republican administration’s sweeping anti-fraud efforts around the country were based on faulty findings. One of a few mischaracterizations it made about New York’s Medicaid program, it also reflected a common criticism that’s been made of Trump’s second administration — that it tends to attack first and confirm the facts later.
“These numbers could have been cleared up in a phone call, so it’s really slapdash,” said Fiscal Policy Institute senior health policy adviser Michael Kinnucan, whose recent analysis called attention to the Trump administration’s inaccurate claim.”

The Vice President of the United States is actively campaigning for the authoritarian-leaning president of Hungary. Rather than spreading democracy, the US is actively trying to spread authoritarianism.
Orban has given himself the ability to rule by decree, restricted the media, manipulated the electoral and district system, taken over and abused with police NGOs and universities, redistributed wealth to loyalists rather than based on sound policy, and supported Russia invading its neighbor. He has bent a former democracy toward authoritarianism. The European Parliament has declared that Hungary is no longer a full democracy in a 433 to 123 vote.
The death of the West will be the end of Western values like free speech, free association, free press, and free and fair elections. Vice President Vance supports Orban’s authoritarian actions in Hungary just like he supports Trump’s, often illegal, authoritarian actions at home.
