When you see troops on the streets of Washington DC … troops deployed for no reason … that’s what every other shithole dictatorship looks like.
It’s Trump’s dream to be the second coming of Hitler.

But because no president before #Trump crossed this particular line, the vague standard has never been litigated. Ultimately, #SCOTUS will have to weigh in. Much more than Cook’s employment status hinges on its decision. If #Trump succeeds at firing her & replacing her with a loyalist, he could be just months away from a full-blown #takeover of the #FederalReserve.

The #LisaCook Case Could Be the Whole Ball Game
If #SCOTUS lets #Trump replace Cook with a loyalist, he might soon achieve a full-blown takeover of the #FederalReserve.
Under the law, a president can fire a #Fed governor only “for cause.” To clear that bar, Trump has accused Cook of having made false statements on a mortgage application.

"American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over — and almost specifically to spite — their vociferous objections.
The president’s military occupation of the capital has escalated in recent days into something not seen since British troops marched the streets of colonial Boston — even though precisely nothing has happened to warrant it, the Pentagon has now armed the National Guard patrolling DC and armored vehicles, designed for the worst of combat, are patrolling the capital, where they’re colliding with civilian vehicles because war transports are not supposed to be on civilian streets. (Why a 14-ton MRAP is in any way necessary for a domestic police mission is its own worthy line of questioning!)
Word came over the weekend that the president is now drawing up plans and explicitly threatening domestic political opponents like the governors of California and Illinois with similar military occupations — exercising emergency powers in a moment where the only emergency is his own abuse of power."

These developments could herald a shift from America’s vaunted #FreeMarket system to one that resembles, at least in some corners, a form of #state-managed #capitalism more frequently seen in #Europe &, to a different degree, #China & #Russia, say lawyers, bankers & academics steeped in the history of #HostileTakeovers & international #business

Whereas the wording had said anyone in contact with an infected person should be tested, it now said people without coronavirus symptoms “do not necessarily need a test.”
The new guidelines followed months of Trump saying that he was opposed to more testing because it revealed more cases.
2/2
So there is currently a lot of wild speculating going on with #Trump's health
One theory is #CongestiveHeartFailure #CHF
Which would mean progressive enfeeblement and a cascade of very serious complications
On what timescale? Months? Years?
Who knows. Don't listen to anyone certain about anything, as none of us have access to Trump's medical records
But there is *something* going on
And what is going on is *not* minor
