NORTHEAST HARBOR, May 30, 2025 - Leonard Leo, the right wing activist who raised billions in dark money from his waterfront home here, has become Donald Trump’s latest target because judges he recommended did not deliver what Trump wanted.
Meanwhile, without Charles Koch bagman, court capture operative, and religious extremist Leonard Leo , Trump would not have Project 2025 and the cadres of bureaucrats ready to enforce it. Including the Roberts Supreme Court majority each of whom Leo hand picked to drain United States law of justice - of equality before the law and equal representation and to destroy the barrier between church and state. Through the Federalist Society, Heritage Foundation, and Teneo Network - and a myriad of shell corps funneling dark money to antidemocratic causes, Leo, while enriching himself, has helped repurpose our constitutional republic as a ChristoFascist state. Before Trump was suppressing our First Amendment rights, Leo was having local government officials arrest and target his MDI neighbors for exercising their First Amendment rights.
Somewhere Hannah Arendt notes that hypocrites personify evil. As an Italian American Catholic of neither social consequence nor wealth, Leo has personally benefitted from educational and professional opportunities provided him by the liberalization of American society and by progressive legislation protecting civil rights - both of which he is bent on destroying.
l can get behind the con man with this issue. He has a gift for giving out fitting nicknames. Lenard "Sleazebag" Leo, nice ring to it.
Trump is a morally gelded fascist.
"Trump is a morally gelded fascist."
That assumes Trump once had morals.

In playground jargon, “It takes one to know one!”
Trump sounds like Big Brother.
