Subject: Fw: Can Alabama State Bar help Alabamians decide whether China's Xi is a dictator?
Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Director Lovell:
The Alabama State Bar Executive Council (of which you are a member and serve as Secretary) has made no reply to numerous emails I have sent importuning the Executive Council to speak to Alabamians about the destruction that Trump is doing to the rule of law in the United States.
I consider the foregoing a dereliction on the part of the Alabama State Bar Executive Council.
I am trying to publicize the same in various ways.
The below emails are indicative of the publicizing I am trying to do.
There has been and will be more such emails and other publicizing efforts.
I will be forthright and say that my efforts here are to contribute to trying to make November 2026 a wave election that defeats Trump and MAGA.
Thank you very much for your attention to this email.
Sincerely,
Rob Shattuck
Alabama State Bar member in inactive status

Putin, Trump, and Xi are all ignorant and incompetent, each is destroying their respective government and each has the power to take the world down with him, all are psychopaths. As Alfred Pennywieght says, “some people want to set the world on fire just to watch it burn.”

I honestly do not know what the Alabama State Bar could do in this particular situation. China has a one party system and Xi Jinping is the President of China and has concentrated power extensively with eliminated term limits that make him the dominant leader. This is exactly what Trump wants to happen here in America. His view has been on the New World Order since he came down his golden escalator. China is an authoritarian one party state and to me, that is a dictatorship. They do not have elections or checks and balances that are considered to be a democracy, but....do we? Donald Trump has made no secret about his admiration for dictators. His dream is to rule over this country as a king with no accountability to the people. He is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. I fail to understand how intelligent people can be so ignorant.

I am not clear about what you are saying. Is there a factual basis for what the locals believe? Or is there no factual basis for what the locals believe? Or is there sufficient uncertainty about the truth or falsity of what the locals believe that warrants more investigation?

I know of a community college where the locals believe that millions in building kickbacks are mixed with a local human trafficking ring and drug deals that were laundered in a Trump campaign event in the county. That is how messed up Alabama has become? Even more, the truth may be even more bizarre!

Dear organized (or potential organized) emailers:
This morning I sent the "forwarded" email appearing below, on which you were copied.
I am considering sending an email to the same addressees and with the same persons copied (including you), which email reads as follows:
Subject line: Please, Alabama State Bar Executive Council, how f*cked up is Trump making our government?
Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Council:
Please, please, Alabama State Bar Executive Council, how f*cked up is Trump making our government? Trump poised to drop IRS suit, launch $1.7B 'weaponization' fund for allies: Sources - ABC News
What do you think? Should I send such an email?
Thanks.
Rob

Dear Alabama State Bar Executive Council:
Following the report of Donald Trump unable to say if Xi Jinping is a dictator, can the Alabama State Bar assist Alabamians in deciding whether China's Xi is a dictator or not?
Thanks.
