The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump continue to be put on display by him and his devoted cult disciples. And those aspirations encompass the most grotesque components of the tyranny that Trump craves.

From Trump’s first steps into the political realm he has openly sought to emulate dictators like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Xi Jinping, all of whom he regards as friends and lavishes with praise. Contrast that with how he treats fellow Americans, Democrats and Republicans, who fail to sufficiently worship him. They are maligned as “scumbags” and “traitors” and “the enemy within.” For example…

In the days following the gruesome murder of Renee Good by a hostile and unqualified agent of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), the Trump regime has been feverishly trying to justify that atrocity by smearing the reputation of Good, and brazenly lying about what took place. They insist that Good had deliberately run over ICE agent Jonathan Ross, despite numerous videos that show she was actually turning away from Ross, and that her car never touched him.
That flagrantly false smear campaign is still in progress. And on Wednesday it was taken to a new extreme. In a Twitter/X post. The Homeland Security Department dropped a “reminder“ from Trump’s neo-Nazi advisor, Stephen Miller, to all of the ICE thugs patrolling American streets. It said…
“REMINDER. ‘To all ICE officers: You have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. Anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop you or tries to obstruct you is committing a felony. You have immunity to perform your duties, and no one—no city official, no state official, no illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist—can prevent you from fulfilling your legal obligations and duties. The Department of Justice has made clear that if officials cross that line into obstruction, into criminal conspiracy against the United States or against ICE officers, then they will face justice.’ @StephenM”
Every word of that, of course, is utterly false. There is no such “federal immunity” And anyone, ICE agent or otherwise, is subject to the laws of this nation, and the states in which they operate. Merely saying that they have immunity has no legal standing. If ICE agents violate the laws of any state, or any federal laws, or provisions of the Constitution, they are subject to arrest, indictment, and prosecution. They are also subject to civil lawsuits.
Just for good measure, this question was put to Grok, the Twitter/X AI bot. And it was in complete agreement with the analysis above…
To make matters worse, Trump’s immigration czar, Tom Homan, was asked about whether he was concerned that video of ICE thugs brutally assaulting people would cause “Americans who see this [to] say this looks like Putin’s Russia.” He replied that…
“That’s ridiculous. You know what? In Minneapolis… [Homan then veers off into an extended and unrelated rant about Biden releasing millions of illegal aliens, and some nonsense about sanctuary cities. And then…] It makes it dangerous for the officer. It makes it dangerous for the alien. And It certainly makes it dangerous for the community.”
Q: In Mpls, we're seeing images like a woman who was dragged out of her car by federal agents. There are Americans who see that & say this looks like Putin's Russia–HOMAN: That's ridiculous. If they'd let us in their damn jails & stop being a sanctuary city, we could arrest bad guys in safety
In other words, “Yeah, it does look like Putin’s Russia, but so what?” Homan never answered the question about what the American people should think of innocent folks, including U.S. citizens, being physically assaulted by ICE. But he did justify the brutality of the ICE thugs, even if they were behaving like barbarians of the Putin regime. They seem downright proud of it.
What all of this tells us is that Trump and his comrades are determined to trample on the rights of the American people. And any attempt to criticize or resist will be met with violent punishment by the StormTrumpers. This is Trump’s vision of a fascist Amerika. And he isn’t even bothering to disguise it anymore. Which makes it all the more imperative to resist and to prevent them from carrying out their assault on democracy and freedom. If we stay strong, we cannot lose. 8647!
