I wonder if any Republicans are even aware that this shows blatant disregard for Constitutional Separation of Powers.

What a wacky, zany coincidence!
It looks like it was inspired by Mussolini putting his image on the the Italian Fascist Party building, 1934.

The justice department is part of the executive branch, so there are no constitutional powers that are supposed to be separate.

Rather, Republicans have undone all of the norms and reforms established after Nixon and the Watergate scandal.

I think that GOP/MAGA has always believed that Trump would institute a dictatorship governing the Left and that they would be left alone.

Just about the stupidest thing one can imagine.

This Trump banner is flatly un-American. If GOP/MAGA were still Americans, they would know that.

"Just about the stupidest thing one can imagine."

I find it interesting that DJT expressed his narcissistic psy-op in Blue, while FJB chose Red for his own narcissistic psy-op
