Just A Little Purge Of Bad Guys [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-10-01 Reporters. Protestors. Folks on social media. You. But why stop there? Why bother with the rule of law at all, if you have that kind of power? Trump went on Sunday, to echo "The Purge". He brought up his fake crime statistics again, and said that police should be allowed “one really violent day” in which they could be “extraordinarily rough” with anyone they suspect of a crime. “One rough hour, and I mean real rough, the word will get out, and it will end immediately. End immediately,” Trump went on. “You know, it’ll end immediately.” No it wouldn't. Not unless the threat was there for it to be done again. Any time they wanted. And why limit it to just the police? Project 2025 expands the President's powers to declare Martial Law, and to allow the US military to make arrests and fire upon our own citizens on our own soil, something it can’t do now. The manual has language describing how military tribunals might be used for civilian matters. It talks about the formation of Detainment Camps. You know, for BAD GUYS. For illegal aliens. For drug cartels. For criminals. But why stop there? Other countries have used exactly those methods to silence, remove and execute entire populations of political, religious, ethnic and "undesirable" citizens from their midst. To "cleanse" their society and make it "pure" again. It can't happen here? Trump stores grievances in the dark hollow place where his heart and soul should be. He does not forgive and he does not forget. He has not forgotten the protests that swept the entire country in 2020 - the protests that forced him to hide in the White House bunker. He has never forgiven the humiliation of that. ”I am YOUR retribution,” says Trump. No, he is his OWN retribution. Trump did not have the power as President of the United States of America to do what he wanted to do, then. He is making it clear, every day in his speeches, that he intends to have that power now. Are you listening? Me.
