We aren’t drifting into tyranny or slow-walking into tyranny. We are hurtling down that highway. Here are a few headlines I gathered from the New York Times on July 7. There were more, but here is a sampling.
“Trump Remaking Judiciary System” [Trump personal attorney Emil Joseph Bove III was appointed to the appeals court of the middle Atlantic states. Approximately 1/3 of appellate court justices now are Trump appointees.]
“U.S. Defends Move to Drop Bribery Case of Billionaire” [The accused agreed to invest billions in the U.S. to get the case dropped.]
“Lawsuit Alleges a Threat to Free Speech by Agents” [That would be ICE agents. I posted about that yesterday.]
“White House Accuses Smithsonian of Negative Portrayal of U.S.”
“Court Allows The Removal Of Exhibits At U.S. Parks”
“Trump Reverses Dozens of Gun Rules, Alarming Public Safety Advocates”
Since then Trump’s been weakening NATO, making noises about seizing Greenland, and bashing Spain. I can’t keep up. Tomorrow I plan to post about making currant jelly and the birds at my feeder and trying to chase away the deer eating the soybeans in our fields.
