This is the United States in 2025. Don Snorleone likes to think of himself as some powerful mafia boss. As President, he has decided he is the dictator in chief. To him, Congress is only there to pass the laws he needs that cannot be done through any executive order, which is his preferred method of “governance.”
He will push his “immigration” policies no matter who he has to hurt. His immigration policy comes directly from his advisor, Stephen Miller, a man so broken… so hateful… so souless, that he would see children ripped from their mothers’ arms. He would see innocent people tortured in foreign prisons just because of the color of their skin. All this harm is done to try and fill the gaping hole where Miller’s heart should be.
Protesters across the country have shown their distain for Trump and all his hateful rhetoric. Sadly, Trump is learning new ways to hate to make up for it. His administration is working hard to make sure no place is safe for any immigrant, undocumented or otherwise. The Trump administration is now canceling the immigration hearings of people trying to legally immigrate to the United States and then having ICE arrest them at the courthouse. All this is being done so Mango Mussolini can keep the deportation numbers up to look tough to his racist base.
Plus, ICE has learned a new trick from their boss, Cruella de Vil (Kristi Noem). Just arrest any Democrat who dares even question what you say. First, she had Senator Alex Padilla arrested and cuffed just for the temerity of questioning her in front of the press. Now, New York City comtroller, Brad Lander, was arrested for trying to walk a man out of the courthouse after his immigration hearing was canceled by the Trump administration.
Both men were released relatively quickly, but all of this is designed to have a chilling effect on dissent. It is straight from the Fascism 101 playbook. If an elected official can be arrested, just what will they do to the citizenry? Trump has also directed ICE to concentrate their efforts in major Democratic strongholds.
Still, all in all, Trump is being consistently backed into a corner between protests and continuing losses in the courts. There is nothing more dangerous than a dumb animal that feels cornered. Today, he began talking about victories in the middle-east as if the United States had anything to do with Iranian losses. Mr. “no new wars” may well take us into one, or two (Greenland beware), just so he can reassert his power.
Interesting times.
