First, a New York judge held Donald Trump in contempt for stiffing a subpoena from the state attorney general, Letitia James, for documents relating to her civil investigation of the Trump Organization.

From ancient Greek democracy to the Roman republic to the French Revolution, history tells us again and again that gravitating to autocracy comes back to haunt a nation. As John Adams, signer of the declaration of independence and second president of the United States, wrote in 1775 to his wife, Abigail, “[A] Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever.”

Second, and on the same day, we saw evidence of attempts to destroy those rules that put allegiance to Trump above allegiance to country. New text messages – uncovered by the House committee investigating the January 6 siege of the Capitol, and disclosed by CNN – revealed the extent of rightwing Republicans’ attacks on the US constitution.

nearly all of the founders gravitated to autocracy once they got in to power. They were decidedly unhappy about the restrictions they placed upon their new government after they realized it limited their own power.

In 1798, President John Adams signed the Alien and Sedition Acts, which were passed by the Federalist-dominated 5th United States Congress.

So much of what CNN has made public has turned out to be propagandistic hog wash that attributing anything to CNN not intended as humor seems odd.

The opinions of liars are what they are.
