Trump is not wrong when he says, "our DOJ is actually broken and in desperate need of repair." Point is, before dismantling or destroying something, have an alternative that is better.
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Cohen! You hit the nail on the head for every point. In my 71 years, I have never felt so insecure about our country and its governance. That feeling started with Trump slithering down that golden escalator and my worst fears are coming to pass. Thankfully, there are some judges willing to slow the roll but it’s only a matter of time before they, too, will be defied. Thank you, sir, for your articulate and accurate assessments. I look forward to reading more from your unique perspective.
On the Hegseth appointment; I feel as though it was coordinated to follow with the Gaza announcement of US involvement. A white supremacist in charge of our military made up of many minorities potentially starting a war with the surrounding countries. I am clueless as to how Trump can think any development of Gaza by him or other rich people will end well for them. He says it’s an area that for decades has been mired in conflict. News for him, it has been an area of conflict for AGES. Thousands of years. Love your work Mr. Cohen. Thank you for your POV. Peace.
Let's be honest: we've seen bad government before. We've seen incompetence, corruption, scandal, and the occasional sex scandal that turns out to be surprisingly dull. But what we're seeing now isn't just bad government—it's a full-speed, no-brakes plunge into authoritarianism, and the worst part? Half the country is either cheering or pretending it's not happening.
Trump, never one for subtlety, is running the same playbook as every power-hungry strongman before him: ignore Congress, defy court orders, gut oversight agencies, and rig the economic system to reward loyalty. It's all part of the grand plan—consolidate power, dismantle opposition, and make democracy feel like a quaint, outdated concept, like rotary phones or reasonable political discourse.
And here's the real kicker: we're getting used to it. Every outrageous abuse of power makes the next one feel a little less outrageous. We're frogs in a pot, and the water's getting warmer by the second.
So, if you're wondering whether this is all theoretical—some distant, abstract threat—let me put it plainly: Project 2025 is not a PowerPoint presentation. It's not a warning sign on the horizon. It's happening right now.
I don't think we will have free and fair elections again. I think that Republicans are not bucking due to fear from physical threats to themselves and their families.
The only thing that may save us is we, the people, uprising in the streets.

Thank you Mr. Cohen & Karem! Yea I see why Trump hired his own crazy incompetents.
