Something I have written many times on social media is that
when our Justice Department becomes a tool of the oppressor, we are losing our
Democracy. Dictators have always used the Justice Department to oppress the
people. Germany had its Gestapo and the SS, which were used to kill millions. Stalin
had his NKVD, which would later become the KGB, that he used to kill millions
and consolidate his power. China has its Chenguang, which is known for its
violent methods. That is how things work in a country that is run by a dictator. They use their personal Justice Departments
to suppress and eliminate threats to their power. Is that now what is happening
in this country? I swear, Trump wants to be just like the Communist and Fascist
dictators.
Trump seems to want to use our Justice Department more as
his personal goon squad than a department that serves the people. He is
starting with ICE. ICE is an agency that was formed after 9/11 and put under
the Department of Homeland Security. Before 9/11, we had the U.S. Customs
Service and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, which were
transformed into the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). It is
intended to keep the country safe from terrorists, which is why it is always
important that.
Trump calls our undocumented immigrants “terrorists”. Are any of them really
terrorists? I don’t think so because I think an actual terrorist would be
paraded out there by Trump to justify his terrorization of undocumented immigrants.
Trump has said they were drug runners for the cartels. Again, I would think that
they would be paraded out there on every news channel to justify Trump's
terrorism of immigrants. Trump has said he wants to get rid of all these
criminals who make our nation unsafe. Again, if they were criminals, they would
be paraded out there for all of us to see, with Trump expecting us to thank him
for keeping our streets safe. These people are getting caught coming out of
Home Depot and at places of their employment. ICE is not raiding drug
safehouses; they are raiding schools, restaurants, and other places where they
work. I have seen 10 and 12-year-old children who pose no threat to our
national security with their hands zip-tied behind their backs.
On September 11, 2001, our Democracy was attacked by terrorists
who meant to terrorize the entire nation, and they succeeded, and we have been
acting like that ever since. We have been willing to give up our freedoms and
privacy for the sake of security. What is happening with ICE is not making our
nation safer. Terrorizing people that just want to earn a living and are
willing to do all the crappy jobs that regular Americans don’t want to do. They
come here, spend money in our stores, and pay taxes. They contribute to society,
and the services they provide add value to every community. The problem is,
they are not white. Musk was here on a student Visa and dropped out of college.
At that point, he should have left the country because he was here illegally,
along with his brother, I think. Now he is the richest man on earth, but if he had
been made to obey the law as Trump sees it, he wouldn’t even be here. Musk's
advantage was that he was white. Trump's own wife was working as a model before
she had permission to work here. She made thousands of dollars while working
illegally in the United States. Here again, she was white and was also
protected by a rich white guy, Donald Trump. The hypocrisy is amazing. To me,
what we see Trump bring to the table is Hatred, Racism, Bigotry, and threats of
violence. It is a sad group of people who have so much hate that they support
that kind of man.
As I have stated many times on January 6th, 2021,
our Capitol and our democracy were attacked by domestic terrorists who were
trying to stop Congress from performing their constitutional duty to certify
the 2020 presidential election. People have called it an insurrection, a riot,
and if you are a Republican, you lie and say it was just a bunch of tourists.
150 police officers were injured by those people who stormed the Capitol and
wanted to stop Congress from doing their constitutional duty. Not only the
country, but the entire world, watched in horror as the screams of the mob
yelling “Hang Mike Pence”. Our outgoing President was watching it on TV, and
some reports suggested he was cheering on the mob. It was Trump’s job to
protect the Constitution and to protect Congress from harm while doing their
constitutional duty. I don’t believe Trump ever really called the National
Guard to restore peace, and he let the terrorists continue to attack our
Capitol police for over 3 hours. Now you turn toward Los Angeles today, and you
see a very peaceful protest going on. Still, Trump not only illegally calls out
the National Guard because the Governor didn’t ask him, but he is also illegally
deploying the Marines to the area. During all the protests in LA, there has
been less violence than if the Los Angeles Lakers had won the NBA championship.
In both cases, he has violated his oath to protect and defend the Constitution.
These are impeachable offenses, but we know that Republicans will not uphold
their oaths of office just like Trump. Trump has stated that he supports our
police, but on January 6th, 2021, we saw that was just talk, and 150
police officers were injured by a mob sent by Donald Trump. He has shown that
he is a man who does not believe in the Constitution; he does not believe in
the law, and he doesn’t support the law. To those who voted for him, I ask you,
do you believe in the Constitution?
Our Police take an Oath of Office just like the President
and Congress. The oath of office for the Los Angeles police reads, “I do solemnly
swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution
of the State of California and the Charter of the City of Los Angeles, and that
I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of (inserting the name of
the office) according to the best of my ability”. It has been established by
the courts that due process is a Constitutional Right of all persons. ICE has
been ignoring that Constitutional right. By the Police helping ICE, they too
may be breaking their Oath of Office, and I think that warrants an
investigation by the city of Los Angeles and the State of California. If our
police don’t uphold their oath of office, there should be consequences. It is
our Constitution and our laws that govern us, and the police have sworn to
protect those. The police are just turning themselves into the tools of the
oppressor, and it is their fault.
What happened to America the “I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees”
