In yet another clear, undeniable sign of authoritarianism controlling American politics, the NYT reports that MAGA has rejected NATO because it is pro-democracy:
The leaders of many of Europe’s biggest countries on Monday will descend on Paris in an effort to forge a strategy for their own security as President Trump’s envoys prepared for talks with Russia over ending the war in Ukraine without them.
The meeting in Paris was pulled together rapidly, after Vice President JD Vance’s scathing speech in Munich criticizing Europe’s exclusion of far-right groups from power and the fast-emerging American plans to begin peace talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia this week, without the presence of Ukrainian or European leaders.
In a recent NATO meeting in Germany, Vance brutally attacked Germany for resisting the rise of the authoritarian neo-Nazi AfD party. The AfD’s rhetoric and policies significantly overlap historical far-right and neo-Nazi ideologies, especially anti-immigrant policy and radical nationalism. Vance’s attack stunned hundreds of attendees at the Munich Security Conference. The top-level politicians, diplomats and analysts expected to hear DJT’s plans to (i) end the Ukraine war, and (ii) bolster Europe’s defense against rising Russian threats. Instead, they got a hard kick in the nuts. Vance told the conference that “there is no room for firewalls” against extremist authoritarian groups like the AfD.
In my opinion, this constitutes a major rejection of democracy and the NATO alliance by DJT and MAGA elites. They are openly supporting bigoted, radical authoritarianism not just in the US, but also everywhere else. This is a very big deal, not just a big deal.

Within the last hour or so, DJT through his corrupt MAGA thug subordinate Pam Bondi or one of her subordinate thugs, probably Emil Bove, has ordered all Integrity Section lawyers, I think in the DC office, to get into a room and decide who among them will dismiss the criminal prosecution of New York City's corrupt mayor Eric Adams. If no one chooses to dismiss the case, all of the DoJ lawyers in that room will be fired.
This is an absolute catastrophe for the rule of law. Our democracy is rotting away in front of our eyes. And there still are tens of millions of American who cannot see it, don't believe it or don't care. That is evidence of the deadly serious rot and weakness in democracy. This is also evidence of the failure of the MSM to inform the American people and the Dem Party to have avoided this disaster when they could. Now it is too late. DJT and MAGA elites are going to do their very best to kill our democracy and rule of law. Civil liberties will fall shortly thereafter.
Apparently, at least one has pre-emptively resign instead of doing DJT's corrupt bidding.
DJT wants the Adams prosecution stopped because Adams is his political ally. No doubt, DJT and MAGA elites want all of those lawyers fired and replaced with loyal, corrupt MAGA thugs.
