Is History Repeating Itself

What are the limits of behavior for an American President? Many think the President has supreme power and authority through the concept of executive privilege. They believe the constitution creating three separate but equal branches of government is wrong! The constitution says the President is allowed to appoint his choice to be on the Supreme Court and all lifetime federal court judges. After 232 years of Senate approvals of those judges the confirmations have become rubber-stamps. The Senate rules have been changed from an in-depth review process to cursory. Most have been confirmed without the Senators voting for the appointee never having time to meet or read their biography. At least two Justices believe in executive privilege.

The House of Representatives has the constitutional duty to raise revenue and decide how to spend it. The Senate approves their mutual decisions. The current leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnel, will not allow any bill to come to the floor Trump will not approve giving him complete control of all laws to be passed. No majority leader has ever been so controlled by the President. He is stopping over a hundred bills, many on infrastructure.

At a Federal Court hearing, Trump’s personal Attorney William Consovoy said the President has “temporary Presidential immunity” from any actions done before or during their time as President. Consovoy further stated if Trump had shot someone on Fifth Avenue, Trump could not be tried or even investigated while in office.

Trump’s advisors have been telling him he is as powerful as the dictators he has made his “friend”. He thinks he is on a power level of Putin, Erdogan, Kim, and Xi. This is exactly how Hitler came to power.  Is History repeating itself?

Iran is not Iraq

A few of the Democrats and most of the Republicans in Congress want to go to war with any country they can con us into believing is a threat. They look at tiny Grenada, Panama, and even the two Iraq invasions as models of what our military can do. They forget Korea and Viet Nam and that we are still in Afghanistan and Korea.

They think that Iran is Iraq and can’t be that different because some of them use the two countries interchangeably. They are both in the Middle East and Muslim so they can’t be too tough to overcome.

The warmongers should look at the facts. Iraq has 25 million people on 168,000 square miles. Iran has over 68 million people and over 636,000 square miles. Iraq’s Army was Shia fighting for a Sunni Government they hated. Iran’s population is 90% Shia with a hardcore force that is extremely dedicated to the leadership. Iran has high tech weapons that can sink the Navy’s carriers and down our planes. Russia has sent their best anti-aircraft defenses to make any attack by Israel or U.S. painful.

Iran sacrificed hundreds of kids by having them walk into Iraq minefields. Militia units followed and were mowed down. Iraqis killed so many they ran out of artillery shells and bullets. They ran before the first line of elite troops got into Iraqi positions.

Iran is a strong Theocracy and will send its people after Americans everywhere. The attacks on the home land by Al Qaeda will pale as to those Iran’s leaders could mount.

The Iraq-Iran War lasted eight years and was over when Iran said it was over. They are prepared to fight and die for decades. Are we?
