So, back in 2016, I posted a cartoon on the bird shite site that involved Trump thanking Obama for all the sweeping powers he now had because Obama had instituted those powers thinking that there was no way the White House would fall into non-Democratic Party hands. I can dig up the articles (and the cartoon) to back up these claims -- and I probably will, considering Trump will again have all those expanded powers and then some... There is shit that can be put into place if a "National Emergency" is declared, and it's not pretty. But again, it was all under Obama's watch... (Though the groundwork was established before Obama.)
I found the cartoon! It was by cartoonist #MattBors from 2016 (right after Trump's election).

That works on multiple levels. Well played sir, well played.
"Today, in America, the President or any of his accomplices can simply point their finger at you, declare you an enemy combatant, and have you incarcerated indefinitely in a secret prison without charge or representation, where they have institutionalized torture and murder.
And for those Americans who think they are exempt, and don't care about foreign citizens or their rights as human beings, think again.
You may have heard the term Habeas Corpus tossed around a lot lately, and heard that we have lost the right to it, but do you know what that means?
It means that you no longer have the right to be brought before an impartial judge to protest your imprisonment, or provide evidence that the charges against you are false.
For example, if a President secretly imprisons an American citizen they don't like they can simply claim they are an Afghani national caught on the battlefield of Iraq, even if they were actually a loyal citizen living in Boston who was illegally abducted at the mall while shopping.
And since you no longer have the right to Habeas Corpus you will never have a chance of the truth being told, and will be at the mercy of the executive branch of government for what remains of your lives."

@SearingTruth @DoomsdaysCW In fact, at this point there is NOTHING to stop Trump from having the judge (Boasberg) who just found him in criminal contempt over some of the "deportation" flights to CECOT himself.
Of course, it is well known that if Trump starts kidnapping judges to protect his own position, thousands and maybe millions will decide it's time for ALL the gloves to come off.
That's not when civil war starts though, I think history will say it has already started.
