“I mean, it's something I've been concerned with the whole time I've been here,” he said. “What are the rights of individuals? Who can you kill? When can you kill them? What is war? What is not war? What is due process? When do you have Fourth Amendment protections? So all these things are incredibly important.” (Rand Paul quote/POLITICO)
I am not, nor have I ever been, a fan of Senator Rand Paul, but as I read his quote regarding questions about Venezuela, and the two most recent murders in Minneapolis, I will admit that in his statement, Rand Paul is asking the same concept of questions that have been gnawing at my gut for quite a long time.
There is a new rule of law within the Trump Reich, and that is the fact that any law they have little use for, or that gets in the way of their plans to become an Authoritarianist Government, led by a Fascist, is no longer a law they need to adhere to. Think about it, and think about how with the Trump Gestapo, the US Constitution is only a handy tool for them, when it is used as a cover-up for their crimes, and the US Constitution is shat upon when it inconveniently shatters their criminal actions.
Masked Paramilitary men and women kidnap, terrorize, and murder anyone they decide is their enemy, and nothing is done for these illegal actions. Military attacks on a foreign nation without the input of Congress, and all we hear from Congress is, huh, what? Tariffs are handpicked by TACO Trump, and the din of no action by Congress becomes deafening. Now, the Jesus Sent Second Amendment is no longer recognized and has been tossed asunder like the First and Fourth Amendments.
So I agree with the questions Rand Paul asks, but I am fucking sick and tired that no one with the power to do so is making any attempt to answer them, and worse is the fact that those who have the power to demand answers, are still in the operating room having their spines removed!
