As a retired criminal justice professional, I want to remind everyone that—almost certainly—none of the vengeance investigations and prosecutions Trump and Bondi have coordinated will lead anywhere.
But 1) they'll terrorize their targets' lives, 2) eventually Trump will start using military courts.

No, Doug.
Your boss, whom you adore, very much wants to see chaos and death in American cities.

My son, Simon, served two tours in Afghanistan with the Royal Air Force. How dare Trump diminish what America's allies did in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11. Denmark lost more soldiers per capita than any other nation! This draft dodger is a disgrace and an embarrassment to the USA!
