I am deeply disturbed about certain things that are happening right now.
1- There is completely new, 13 foot high steel fence going up around the WH. (seems benign by itself) Why? Is he expecting massive protests? Is he girding for an attack?

2- Barr has unleashed newly formed Federal forces into multiple cities. There are a total of 75,000 officers, most of them not trained in crowd control, and they are contractors, not employees. That seems ominous. Why aren't the National Guard being used instead? This does

not feel right. I fear martial law is coming.
3- Barr is trying to strike down the entire ACA in the middle of a pandemic. @neal_katyal is outraged that Barr is not acting to support federal law, but against it, to please Trump.
4- Trump and Barr are framing vote by mail as

inherently fraudulent, with Trump saying this election will be the biggest fraud in our history. GOP lawyers are spending millions of dollars suing to prevent mail in ballots from being sent out. Trump is claiming that ballots are being sent to non-citizens, even dogs!

5- That tells me the election will be contested. While we know that Russia is actively trying to influence our elections again, Barr is indicating that it is the Chinese, with no proof, not a mention of Russia. So they will blame China, not Russia for hacking the election,

especially when it becomes a landslide. They will fan out lawyers to every single state to demand recounts, which could last for more than a month.
6- This challenge of the vote will cause deep seated anger around the country, causing outbreaks of deadly violence, leading

Trump & Barr to declare martial law (hence the 75,000 officers.)
7- ICE, with a new CITIZENS ACADEMY program is planning to train private citizens nationwide to surveil their neighbors who might be undocumented. WTF?

8- Protests have been promoted by Trump to be anarchy, destruction, and violence. Police have been alerted to treat protesters as the enemy, resulting in insane levels of violence against people as young at 14, and as old as 75, who now requires a wheelchair.

Some have been blinded, some with broken bones, dozens and dozens of people injured by rubber bullets, tear gas, baton attacks, tackles, being pushed down violently, cracking skulls and bruising, with sometimes four officers slamming people to the ground and pinning them to the

pavement, their faces shoved into it, and handled very roughly - even many women that had done nothing. The press have been attacked deliberately
9- Relief funds are being channeled into slush funds with no oversight, many billions of dollars being spent of military equipment.

10- Trump, Navarro, even Barr have been saying that HCL may be a cure for covid, when ALL of the experts are absolutely rejecting the idea, including the FDA.
11- Trump is saying that some parts of the country are virus free, and that case numbers are plummeting, when

the opposite is true. He has instilled a revolt nationwide to wearing masks, when that is our only hope of stopping the spread until there is a working vaccine. INCREDIBLY IRRESPONSIBLE - DEADLY!
12- Trump's mental capacity seems to be slipping, his speeches and pressers have

become disjointed jabbering, often repeating himself, touting having aced a dementia test of all things.
13- He continually shifts any blame away from Russia on to China, when we know he has direct business ties to Russia going back decades, with current financing with

Deutsche Bank backed by a Putin controlled bank.
14- multiple federal cases involving Trump, Turkish Banks, sexual assault, taxes, etc are being controlled by Barr, some which involve attorneys he has known for decades. Barr has scooped them all up under his control.

Ghislaine Maxwell case which could implicate Trump is also in Barr's purview. Barr has replaced federal attorneys all around the nation and installed sycophants in their places.
15- most of the Cabinet are "acting" members, not approved by the Senate.

16- Trump admin. still refuses to account for spending at Trump properties by the government, foreign officials, dignitaries, campaign events, congressional meetings, golf, meals, rooms, etc for almost four full years. Nobody knows how much money he may be

receiving from China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia or Russia.
17- There is still no nationwide testing and tracing protocols, and PPE is still in short supply around the nation in hospitals. Nobody has investigated the PPE distribution, which is reported to be run through

private companies owned by Trump friends.
18- Russia is being treated like an Allied nation, with an invitation to the G-7, private calls with Putin, being allowed to occupy Ukraine without pushback, denying any involvement in hacking our elections, etc.

I could go on for another hour with the bizarre, inexplicable actions regarding Covid, international relations, etc. But I won't.

The purpose of this thread has been to illuminate just how completely untethered, inexplicable and suspicious the Trump administration's actions

have been and continue to be. And finally to strongly advocate for immediate impeachment of Trump and Barr. Left to their own devices, they will continue to wreak havoc in our nation, threatening our democracy itself. Surely Congress must see the handwriting on the wall.

Without quick, decisive intervention by the @HouseDemocrats, the clock will run out to the election, and the nation will be thrown into utter chaos - a Constitutional crisis. I am but a simple, humble man, but the scenario I see unfolding is as

clear as a motion picture of the big screen. I hope will all my soul that there are millions of others who see the same thing I do.
