Conservatives, Republicans and commentators on the right have been fond – for decades – of claiming that they are the true American patriots. Donald Trump (our President who is also a convicted felon, has been impeached twice, has been indicted in three other jurisdictions, and has been found liable for sexual assault) has followed in […]
Millions of Americans are in an uproar over the “chainsaw” that the Trump Administration has taken not only to federal departments and employees but also to the Constitution and the rule of law.
