"Trump targets two first term critics, a law firm and the American Bar Association"
This is the headline from an article from CNN dated 04/09/25. Crumb The 1st has ordered DOJ to go after two specific people who were members of his first term. He in fact has labeled one as treasonous apparently because the man was against some of the madness of the first go-round of the clown show. The other man refused to use his position to tell requested lies about the 2020 election.
Doing this sort of thing so publicly to people puts us past the actions of Nixon in that regard. Nixon used government agencies like the IRS and DOJ/FBI against his political enemies and others but never to this level of calling someone treasonous. After all even Nixon understood that treason is an act against the country as opposed to being an action against an individual. If Crumb The 1st wishes to accuse some member of his group of being "disloyal" to him for refusing to remain quiet about their opposition to moves made or contemplated by Crumb The 1st then fine. But that is hardly treason.
In fact Nixon was quite arguably able to be labeled as treasonous due to his active interference in the Vietnam peace talks prior to his first election in 1968. His involvement in causing delay resulted in the deaths of American soldiers. That is an inarguable fact. Nixon knew soldiers would die who otherwise would live. The underhandedness and attacks against people by Nixon are written in dozens of books. He was a crook and a petty, vindictive authoritarian who used the levers of government to go after those who could and did oppose his crooked actions and crooked administration.
So here we are with a man ill suited to be labeled a human being let alone a President. Many of us have seen this movie before too. It's about a being that exists as a "thing" more than existing as what one thinks of as a human being. A paranoid, cornered rat like creature striking out at every turn and rabid to the core. As we proceed to watch the lashing out of Crumb the 1st understand it for being the furtive strikes of a rat like being in human form living in a world of paranoia and whose strikes make them smaller and smaller beings by their own hand as they lash out from their self conceived "corner".
