Keep pushing that fascism negotiating centrism that has pulled the Overton window so far right we actually put a fascist in the presidency and got a compliant congress and court, though. Good thinking.

    Trump directs the FBI to act the way he thinks it was directed to act against him.

    Problem: He's actually a criminal. The others? Not so much.

    He directs the DOJ to investigate anyone who looks at him funny. Maybe if he didn't have so many crimes under his own belt he wouldn't be so paranoid.

    He’s been discussing a run at the presidency.

    Coincidence? I think not!

    Yep. Pretty much everything Trump has done is modeled after either Hitler or Putin, and of course this is no exception. Putin has been using political criminal lawfare to disqualify and imprison political opponents for decades, so that's clearly the goal.

    Not that Gavin is a great opposition leader, but he's probably the one who to Trump looks like the biggest threat (white, male, relatively young, willing to resort to whatever populist pandering it takes).

    Maybe Newsom can call on some of the billionaire freinds he made while shooting down the billionaire tax to help him now. If Newsom cant be bothered to care about the public during his job to represent us, then I dont know why we should care about him being investigated.

    I would be shocked if this wasn't the case.
