    This is so predictable, libs will act like this is beyond reproach the pale, authoritarian, and that no previous, respectable presidents would do this. Leftists will then point out that the DoD was call the Department of War until 1949, and the libs will then “ah well nevertheless.”

      beyond reproach

      I’m not sure this is what you’re intending to say, it would mean they thought it couldn’t be criticized. beyond the pale?
