Donald Trump is the godfather of American politics in 2024. I would align him with authoritarians such as Viktor Orbán of Hungary, Recep Tayyip Erdo?an of Turkey, and Vladimir Putin of Russia. He insists on complete loyalty. But he also dehumanizes others, even the people who support him. He embarrassed Ramaswamy and Scott last night before each was to speak. Scott professed his love for Trump in an unbelievable remark he made in front of the cameras: “I just love you.”
Two articles were written in the last two days leading to today’s New Hampshire primary election. I was impressed with each article and will share parts of each article below. They take on the issue of how Haley should have run against Trump in the New Hampshire primary.
Trump is an authoritarian who is following the same path as other autocratic leaders, from Mussolini to Putin. Haley must be willing to attest to the fact that Trump is an autocrat and racist, who has been charged in 4 indictments with 91 felonies, found guilty of business fraud in New York state, and found guilty of rape and sexual assault in a New York courtroom.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has petitioned the Supreme Court to decide if former President Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution related to charges from his term in office, as detailed in indictments from January 6. Trump’s lawyers argue he was fulfilling official duties and is thus immune. Smith has requested an expedited review, which if approved, could allow a trial to proceed in March 2024. It’s the first instance of a president being charged with crimes during his term.
The relentless assault on democracy by the Trump-guided Republican Party and its supporters is a topic of serious concern. The discourse contrasts President Joe Biden and George Washington’s task to defend democracy, likening their circumstances. Notably, the article suggests that former President Trump aspires to adopt right-wing autocratic rule, referencing Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s book ‘Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present‘ about the rise of such leaders. An MSNBC interview held with her and ex-GOP Congressman, David Jolly, underlines the necessity to defeat the now perceived dangerous, anti-democratic party in the upcoming election.
Mike Johnson (R-LA) is the new United States House of Representatives speaker. In this post, I selected five parts of his first speech to the House and showed how wrong he is and our need to keep a watchful eye on this representative.
Fable: [fey-buhl] 1. A short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters, at times humans from the House. 2. A story not founded on fact. Fable—the members and a jordon In the political battleground of Washington D.C., a...
