That is so true. Here are just a few examples of the stupidity.
1. Obama changed the focus of the Patriot Act to domestic terrorists, when it was meant to focus on foreign terrorists.
That is false. The Patriot Act does not distinguish between foreign and domestic. The oath of office that Senators and Representatives take makes them promise to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. While the words “Foreign and domestic” aren’t in the Presidential oath, they are certainly implied.
2. The intelligence services are a separate, superior branch of government.
Also false and downright stupid. The Administrators are nominated by the President and subject to approval by Congress.
3. The Intelligence Services are somehow bypassing the Fourth Amendment by working with Social Media to spy on Americans.
If it’s on social media, it’s in the public domain. You don’t need a warrant to access it.
There are four criminal indictments against Donald Trump.
1. In New York, Trump faces 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.[2] The trial is scheduled for March 25, 2024.[9]
2. in Florida, Trump faces 40 criminal charges alleging mishandling of sensitive documents and conspiracy to obstruct the government in retrieving these documents.[2][10] The trial is scheduled for May 20, 2024.[11]
3. In Washington DC, Trump faces four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.[2] The trial is scheduled for March 4, 2024.[12]
4. In Georgia, Trump faces 13 criminal charges related to alleged attempts to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia, alongside 18 accused co-conspirators.[13] The trial is not yet scheduled.[2]
Four indictments in four jurisdictions, each acting independently. Four trials will determine guilt or innocence.
