Analysis: "Trump Harvests Autocratic Powers Planted by Bush & Cheney"

In the so-called "Global War on Terror", the CIA held incommunicado & tortured captives in secret "black sites” around the world.

The administration's "argument implies it can deport & incarcerate any person, including U.S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene.”

9/11, militarize USA, FoxNews ubiquitous, invade Iraq, promote religious division in Iraq, ISIS sweeps area, refugees flee to Europe, Europe goes nationalist, [Obama over John McCain & then Mitt Romney], militarized USA voters support Trump, [COVID, Biden], militarized USA voters support Trump.

“In our nation’s 248-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said in a statement. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He can never be trusted with power again.” 👏👏👏
