It took America too long to wake.
Warnings were sounded early. Norms were bent, then broken. Truth was degraded into performance, and cruelty was recast as strength. For years, many Americans dismissed what they were seeing as noise, exaggeration, or partisan conflict. By the time the danger was undeniable, the damage was already structural.
It cannot take any longer for the Rule of Law to finally awaken as well.
Trust in due diligence collapses under a president widely acknowledged to have autocratically subordinated the executive branch and the Department of Justice, while the Supreme Court of the United States increasingly appears aligned with executive power rather than standing apart from it. When the guardrails fail at multiple levels, legality becomes conditional, and accountability becomes selective.
That erosion deepens when the president in question, Donald Trump, has been adjudicated a sexual abuser, previously owned a teen beauty pageant, and publicly boasted of entering underage contestants’ dressing rooms unannounced. At the same time, despite years of evidence, reporting, and documentation, no one has been arrested in connection with the extensive Jeffrey Epstein materials. Justice delayed is not neutral. It signals protection.
The situation grows darker when press freedom itself comes under pressure. The arrest and charging of journalist Don Lemon in connection with his reporting has drawn sharp condemnation from press freedom and civil rights advocates. When journalists are treated as criminals for their work, while powerful offenders remain untouched, the inversion of justice is no longer theoretical.
It's coming...
Against this backdrop, claims by United States Deputy Attorney General and yet another petty Trump minion, Todd Blanche that this administration has prosecuted more child and young women abusers than any other ring hollow. Assertions that guilt can be determined merely by listening to alleged “lies in reporting” would be laughable if they were not dangerous. They come from an administration that has lied to the American public relentlessly, with tens of thousands of documented falsehoods during one term and continued deception since, despite narrowly escaping accountability between presidential terms.
This is not normal political turbulence. America has never suffered this degree of internal dissociation, where reality itself is under constant attack, where institutions meant to restrain power instead orbit it, and where cruelty, greed, and vindictiveness are elevated to governing principles.
The damage is not confined within national borders. A world that once looked to the United States now watches it diminished, petty, vindictive, greedy, and abusive, brought low by a small-minded and willfully ignorant figure defined by malignant narcissism, criminal behavior, and chronic deceit, foolishly returned to our White House, our Oval Office.
There is only one course of action.
The removal of this administration through due process, and the indictment and accountability of those responsible, pursued as though the very existence of the American experiment depends upon it. Because it does.
History is not patient. Neither is democracy. And the Rule of Law cannot afford to sleep any longer.
Cheers! Sláinte! Na zdravie!
