Insurrection Act

Stephen Miller is not a happy camper. Miller (also known as Pee-wee German) is the most fascist member of Trump's Administration and one of his closest advisors. Miller is the man most responsible for ICE's cruel raids that have uprooted lives and destroyed communities. Stephen Miller is the face of evil. And that is not just MY assessment. That was the assessment of his cousin, Alissa Kasmer, who wrote a lengthy, heartfelt Facebook post in July decrying the monster he had become. (Miller's uncle, David Glosser, had already denounced him in 2018 for being an immigration hypocrite.)

The takeaway from my last column is simple, but horrific: Donald Trump wants to become a dictator for the purpose of revenge. But how will do this? How will he expand the already awesome power of the presidency? This story by the Washington Post provides part of the answer.

Donald Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.
