It was Obama, not Trump, who weaponized government against political opponents
By Jack Hellner

Most of the media along with other Democrats are having a collective cow because the Trump administration has reassigned some people from the White House and fired an ambassador who clearly disagreed with Trump’s policies who used hearsay evidence and personal opinion to destroy him.

We are hearing from the Democrat talking points that Trump is weaponizing the government and exacting revenge.

It’s as if the media and other Democrats are so arrogant that they can indoctrinate people to believe that other presidents and politicians don’t make staff decisions based on whether subordinates support their policies. Why the heck would any president keep people who are so insubordinate on their staffs?

Would Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff just ignore subordinates on their staffs who sought to destroy them? What would Schiff do if a staff member told the truth about the leaker, the person now lionized as "the whistleblower"?

Not just against political opponents, remember Fast and Furious?  Or how about IRS targeting? NSA recording communications?

We are now paying for our government to spy on its citizens and push those with whom it disagrees.

Obama is symbolic of the left - once in power their only goal is to perpetuate it. Every tool at their disposal is devoted to it.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Yep!  Obama just put the finishing touches on what he started.
