Trump to build on Obama’s antidemocratic legacy

Trump to build on Obama’s antidemocratic legacy

Again, a thousand pities, both of these presidents!

As can be seen from the article subheadings:

Unlimited spying

Torture

Assassination

Immunity for police [VERY bad idea: and I hope you don't have to be black to see it!]

Criminalization of dissent and the persecution of whistle-blowers [Eg, Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning.]

Unchecked presidential powers

Emergency powers and states of emergency


Oh dear! Let's hope the American elite can still spell "constitutional" by the end of Trump's (4-year) reign.
