The GOP is the party of abusers and enablers. Because the GOP’s core value is the abuse of power.
“The GOP attracts abusers because the party is now fundamentally about preserving a social order with rich white men at the top. Of course it’s appealing to white men who want to abuse their power.“

“The GOP attracts abusers for the same reason any structure with a large power imbalance attracts abusers…And it creates narratives and attitudes that encourage abuse by the right kind of people. The GOP…doesn’t just contain power imbalances, it celebrates them.”

Pompeo is a far-right Christian extremist. They’ve made it obvious he was there to talk about using the State Department for a far-right Christian agenda.
It’s not legal. Like everything else about this cabal, it’s blatantly, aggressively lawless. They just see what they can get away with, and pack the courts so that can get away with more. It’s a naked power grab.
From law professor Luke Brussel:

I’d like to share a few thoughts about Chelsea Clinton, Representative Omar, and Donald Trump, from the perspective of one Jewish person deeply opposed to Israeli apartheid. I’ll try to keep this short. /1
You can call out anti-Semitism without being Islamophobic. And vice versa. It’s necessary. And it’s not hard, although it can take some effort to learn what the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. /2
Don’t let non-Jews tell you what doesn’t count as anti-Semitism. Listen to Jewish people. More than one - no one person speaks for all of us.

The same goes for Islamophobia. Listen to Muslim people.

This is something Twitter is actually good for. /3

* Of course* Trump cares more about Jeanine Pirro and SNL than the Christchurch victims. He’s an anti-Muslim white supremacist. He incites attacks like this *on purpose*. Why do we expect the leader of a violent, decentralized hate group to feign remorse for the group’s actions?
How many times does he need to tell us who he is before we all believe him?

Time has come for the lesson, "Who killed Anne Frank".

The lesson was originally taught by Doris Bergen, author of "Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich".

Do you think Hitler was the most responsible for the death of Anne Frank ?...
Who killed Anne Frank ?

It was an exercise Bergen designed for teachers in a course she was leading, for schoolteachers, that was called "Teaching The Diary Of Anne Frank", to raise their awareness of the "chain of complicity" that led to the Holocaust...
Bergen wrote out, on cards she passed out one by one to the teachers, "identities" of different people who each played a part in the death of Anne Frank - Hitler, Himmler, the person who snatched a scrap of bread from Anne Frank's hand in the concentration camp...

Donald Trump, Paul Manafort & Roger Stone have been working together since the early 1980's.

Trump was a client of Black, Manafort, Stone.

Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly was a lobbying firm based in Washington, D.C.. formed in 1980.

Watch:
"Soon Stone & Paul Manafort, Trump’s future campaign manager, were lobbyists, reaping the bonanzas that could flow w Favor Bank intros. Their 1st client ... was none other than Donald Trump"

There is no doubt about this fact.

Trump, Stone & Manafort have been connected since the 1980's.

1. #QAnon made new, amazing drops last night constituting another 3 BOOMS: a.) Release of new Strzok texts, b.) outstanding exposé by Michael Doran in National Review, c.) timed coordination with IG opening up investigtn into Obama admin's FISA abuses to spy on Trump .@POTUS #Q
2. #QAnon last night dropped a link to a Fox news report about the release of new Strzok texts, asking "Wonder who leaked this." #Q Hannity then told us the texts were uncovered thru Congressional investigators of the Freedom Caucus.
3. But wonder who leaked to them? New texts #Qanon references appear to be BOMBSHELLS. FBI Strzok is texted by his DOJ adultress 8/2/16 referring to first interagency meeting discussing coordination between FBI & DOJ on public deception using fraudulent Trump "collusion" nar. #Q
