A major priority for any dictator is control of the courts. If he cannot be successfully challenged legally he can do almost anything he wants to do. Such is the current state of affairs. T-rump controls the US Supreme Court, many Federal judges and even some prestigious law firms. He is defying a Supreme Court order and Federal judge to “facilitate” the return of legal US residents from a Salvadoran prison. (Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and others who were deported without due process as required by the Constitution.) Ironically he pardoned hundreds of Jan 6 rioters who were afforded due process and convicted of assaulting police officers and destroying the US Capitol. Now he is extending pardons for anyone who can afford one. We hear the going price is $1 million. There is a procedure presidents are supposed to use to evaluate possible pardon situations but T-rump sees no need when handed a bribe. (He’s “transactional”.) These people are being dumped back into the American society while the legal (and at this point, presumed innocent) deportees languish in a foreign hell-hole of a prison. T-rump has successfully assumed control of the judiciary. He does whatever he wants for whatever reason. The political whore who heads up the Department of Justice, Pam Bondi, is oblivious to his actions. In fact she has stated emphatically and with full confidence that Kilmar Abrego Garcia WILL NEVER BE RETURNED TO THE US. Sounds like she sees the writing on the wall–how long before others recognize that we have a Putin in the White House?
