Trump and his regime are attempting to dismantle the judicial system.

They have mostly already succeeded in taking control of the Legislature and most of the institutions of government. But now, they are after those leftist judges.

They will not hesitate to take on the Supreme Court. Some will say they are already challenging the authority of the Court by refusing to "facilitate" the return of a person in custody. that was denied due process, back to this country.

The Defense Secretary wants to rid our military of generals, admirals, amd high ranking officers in order to pay for a huge military parade for Donald Trump, a la North Korea. Surely that was not his idea alone?

The Supreme Court is under duress, primarily in the sense that they are susceptible to losing their power, which is about all they have left?

They declined the "!invitation," and some revenge attempts have been detedted, but much (or maybe most, at this point) of their work is already overseas, and the Trumpanzees have no leverage there.

These days, that's everywhere. I think it's Trump's intention to leave office debt free and the world's richest men.

Laws? WHAT laws? Pam Bondi will let him do what he wants, and I'm sure she has been promised he just reqard when he's done. She might not get it, but her prospects are better as an enabling AG of the USA than as an ex-AG of Florida.

Trump is trying to replace the Federal Reserve with his own money, it appears?

He would like very much to be the richest man in the world, even if he has to steal it. That would make it all the better.
