How can conservatives justify the flouting of due process in sending away any without conviction or charge?
By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist
As it is axiomatic that there can be no followers of Jesus teachings who support Donald Trump, so it is that there are no conservatives. And whereas there are plenty of Trumpists claiming to be one or the other or both, its no more true than if they professed to live on Mars.
Americans of every background and belief excepting those who have no beliefs other than self-pity and selfishness and the certainty that theyre safe forever from Trumps tidal wave of tyranny ought to be sickened by what were witnessing from him and his cadre of sycophantic, Constitution-ignoring oppressors. Not just sickened; taking to the streets. Figuratively, if not literally. Writing a column into the wind, even.
What Christian who accepts what Jesus actually said can countenance the spectacle we just saw in the Oval Office, where two despots congratulated each other for their lawless cruelty? Laughed and joked over the fate of an illegally deported man, incarcerated in a Salvadoran torture chamber. Only an unreachable Foxophile would believe that, had Trump told El Salvadors Nayib Bukele to bring the man back, he wouldnt.
What conservative can accept scooping up people by masked goons and, ignoring due process the most foundational American law sending them to a brutal, foreign prison, forever? Or enjoy seeing the gloating pictures of the cruelty the White House produces? (YouTube: tinyurl.com/lockup4u) What law-respecting American, anywhere, would not be outraged by Trumps plans to send home-grown i.e., American citizens to the gulag, without (or despite) adjudication? With only Trumps or AG Pam Bondis or FBI head Kash Patels or Secretary of State Marco Rubios attestation to their criminality, all of whom lie prolifically in the face of all evidence to the contrary (For News: tinyurl.com/Pamlies2u).
