WAR PROFITEERING.

Trump is the most corrupt president in US history, assaulting and destroying every norm and ethic he encounters. When Democrats regain power, demand accountability.

A nation of laws applies facts and logic and process to all aspects of government decision making. Including health and vaccine policy.

Image of a parody version of the affidavit filed in the GA court system by Trump's corrupt DOJ to justfiy seizing 2020 ballots from Fulton County, which reads: "PROBABLE CAUSE; Introduction. 6. On three separate occasions officers from the FBI field office in Georgia received the same, identical result from a Ouiji board: 'FULTONFRAUD;' 7. Trump held a sold out rally in Georgia once so it is technically impossible for him to have lost the state in the 2020 election. 8. Mike Lindell swore there was 'some sort of cheating.' 9. '@Trumplover6969' on 4chan witnessed an alien spacecraft manipulating the Fulton County voting machines using a remote-hacking code being beamed from Italy. 10. George Soros paid tens of thousands of immigrants from Mexico and Latin America to impersonate registered Fulton County voters by having their appearances surgically altered and then learning to forge the proper signature. (continued)"

Turns out the seizure of ballots from Fulton County Georgia by the FBI was based on items of "probable cause" that were less than compelling or credible...

A nation of laws needs a strong free press and a government that respects that When our press cites Iranian media, that's a clue there is a problem

A nation of laws needs a strong free press. This country has the First Amendment too.
Good government, and good government officials, recognize the need for a strong free press. Ours has been weakened.

Federal appeals panel decides sound cannons used to quell protests can be considered excessive force A federal appeals panel ruled Wednesday that cops’ use of noise cannons against peaceful protesters can be considered excessive force. Three judges from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals is…

In 2018 the Second Circuit Court of Appeals found the use of sound cannons (LRADs) to quell protests can be considered EXCESSIVE FORCE.

Yet again, Minnesota officers betray our courts and trample the rights of American citizens by using LRADs against non-violent protesters.

"Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears!"

The Trump regime keeps boldly lying to America, concocting a FRAUD at odds with what we all saw on video.

If Government doesn't know the law, or lies about the law, what might follow from that? Don't stop at the mistruth about the Fourth Amendment - take the next steps

Yesterday I explored the misstatement by DHS in their social media post about the Fourth Amendment.
Today I explore what that falsity might mean. Is DHS careful with the truth, making an occasional mistake? Or worse?

Citizens in a Nation of Laws - John Bandler In a nation of laws, the voting citizenry needs to understand law and our system of government, appreciate it, and vote for it. Law cannot be just for lawyers.

Citizens in a Nation of Laws need to know law - they cannot hope that lawyers and judges will save them.

Citizens need to assess the basics from the news and vote appropriately.

Read it at my website and see my YouTube videos on law.

The Roberts Court embarrassingly and unwisely contradicted the Constitution by immunizing the President. That unwarranted immunity does not extend to the minions that carry out his illegal orders. I’d be losing sleep over the prospect of prison if I were one of them.

Article about Foreign Social Media Accounts Influencing U.S. People Whatever your existing views:

Whatever your existing views it should be of no surprise that foreign actors and nation-states want to influence what happens in our country, including what people think and how they vote. And that they will use cyberspace to do so.

Suspended Charleston County magistrate arrested in child sexual abuse materials raid Charleston County Magistrate Judge James B. Gosnell Jr. was suspended from the bench in an order from the state’s supreme court chief justice Sept. 16.

At this point the MAGA obsession with accusing others of pedophilia can only be seen as PROJECTION.

This ⬇️ is the second conservative pedophile arrested in TWO DAYS---a conservative judge and Confederate re-enactor from South Carolina. BUSTED.
