Former FBI Director Robert Mueller died Saturday. Mueller was best known for investigating Russia’s part in meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
The report found that, yes, Russia had interfered in the election and tipped the election in favor of President Donald Trump.
You know, the same man who claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
When word came out that Mueller had died, Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate.
“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” he wrote.
Mind you, he wasn’t a threat to the country or anything. He simply completed an investigation, following the law that he swore to uphold, that just happened to prove that there was an injustice. He did nothing wrong.
Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance said, back when conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk was killed, that celebrating someone’s death should be grounds for consequences.
This isn’t the only time Trump celebrated the death of an innocent person, just because they weren’t supporters. When director Rob Reiner and his wife were brutally murdered, he victim-blamed them and claimed that their death was brought on by “the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crumpling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Reiner was not ill. He was, by all accounts, a good man. One who many in Hollywood mourned closely.
Not only does he celebrate when an opponent or critic dies, but he’s started to try to arrest them.
The Department of Justice is investigating Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, because Powell was not complying with Trump’s demands regarding interest rates.
Former counterterrorism official Joe Kent recently resigned, saying he couldn’t “in good conscience” support the war in Iran, and that the country posed “no imminent threat.”
Surprise, surprise, following his resignation and public opposition to the war, the White House announced that he was under investigation, claiming that he was “often at the center of national security leaks.”
It seems evident that the investigation is just a ploy for what I’m sure the president believes is retribution. In reality, it’s just retaliation.
Arresting opponents is a common tactic with dictators. Didn’t we steal Venezuela’s president to “save” its people from a tyrannical regime?
That’s fascinating considering Nicolas Maduro was using arrests and intimidation against his opposition as well.
We also shouldn’t forget that Trump threatened to throw 2016 presidential opponent, and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton in jail.
Actually, there are many more similarities than you may believe. Following the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, masked assailants ransacked the headquarters of opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Sound familiar? That’s because it happened in the U.S., during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Maduro’s hold over power had a lot to do with undermining his country’s elections, which is something Trump continuously tries to do. I mean, he just picked another 2020 election denier as his Secretary of Homeland Security.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, a friend of Trump’s, North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un and the late Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, all did the same thing when it comes to attacking the opposition. Yes, the leader of Iran whom the U. S. killed.
Am I sad about Khamenei, or about Maduro? Hell no. But we cannot be hypocritical.
There’s no coincidence that Trump can have all of these investigations, and hold so much hatred over his opponents, yet there’s no arrests being made of the Epstein files, and he thinks we should move on. I wonder why that could be?
We’re walking a very fine line, and it’s getting even finer. Americans need to open their eyes to the warning signs.
