Our American justice system recently pivoted from the presumption of innocence to the presumption of guilt.
President Trump, Secretary Kristi Noem, and Vice President JD Vance together publicly pronounced a 37-year-old deceased Minneapolis citizen, Renee Nicole Good, a guilty criminal and terrorist before any investigation ever took place.
Today, federal ICE authorities are empowered to act as judge, jury, and in Ms. Good’s case, executioner, without all the fuss of honest assessment of reality and judicial effort.
This is the justice approach of an evil, totalitarian government.
MAGA officers are deemed to be blameless, correct, and superior to all other citizens simply because they have the leader’s blessing.
A reporter asked Trump recently, “Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage?” He reflected for a moment, and answered, “Yeah, my own morality, my own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
There it is folks, the MAGA leader is now righteous God and king to all of his subjects in the Western hemisphere. He personally bestows or denies justice and salvation to all. The rule of law is king no longer.
