BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama INCINERATES Donald Trump for his fascist National Guard deployments in American cities, calling it a "politicization of the military" and "inherently corrupting."
Obama is done holding back...
âIt wasnât controversial for me to go to other countries and say, âYou know what? Itâs a good idea for militaries to be under civilian control,â because when you have military that can direct force against their own people, that is inherently corrupting,â Obama said to Marc Maron on the âWTF" podcast.
The former president went on to say that the Trump Administration is working towards "what looks like a deliberate end run aroundâ of laws that are supposed to prevent the military from being used for civilian police work.
"That is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy,â said Obama.
Trump's efforts to abuse his powers over the National Guard have escalated in recent weeks, with Portland and Chicago in particular becoming flashpoints for his authoritarianism. His ability to do so is still being battled out in the courts. Over the weekend, a federal appeals court temporarily lifted a judge's block on his efforts to federalize the Illinois national Guard while leaving in place a block on his ability to deploy it to Chicago.
The entire affair is an insulting farce, because it's blatantly obvious that our convicted felon of a president isn't genuinely interested in combating "lawlessness." He's the most corrupt and criminal president in history. What he's interested in is seizing more power for himself, terrorizing his political enemies, and acclimatizing the American people to the sight of armed troops on their streets.
âIf I had sent in the National Guard into Texas and just said, âYou know what? A lot of problems in Dallas, a lot of crime there, and I donât care what Governor Abbott says, Iâm going to kind of take over law enforcement, because I think things are out of control,â it is mind boggling to me how Fox News would have responded,â said Obama.
âWe donât want masked folks with rifles and machine guns patrolling our streets,â he added. âWe want cops on the beat who know the neighborhood and the kids around, and thatâs how we keep the peace around here.â
