The Frankish Reich

The return of cottage industry. No vaccinations. No money for science research. MAGA now means ... 1620?

That was entirely different. It was Twitter censorship. Now it's full government censorship without the Twitter in the middle.

Welcome home, Glenn. Welcome home. No more Fox News spots for you. MSNBC doesn't hold a grudge. Neither do I.

She may be nuts, but she's a savvy investor

I was in Paris last fall (how's that for vacation name-dropping) and I gotta say: they have a point. Nothing like sidewalks full of smeared dog crap every block

Well, I just can't agree with the last part here. Judges make decisions based on the law and their findings of fact. The Trump Administration has done some truly unprecedented things, and the scope of presidential power needs to be reviewed by courts if we are to remain true to the checks and balances our founding fathers wisely provided us. As for Abrego, this one alien: it was an error, a mistake. As a government we must make our best efforts to fix our mistakes. That's common sense and good governance. It's also the law here.

I've said it before: I think DACA was contrary to law. That's lawyer talk for "illegal." I also think widespread catch-and-release was contrary to law. I also think sending someone back to a country when a judge's final order says you can't do that is contrary to law. I also think using a 1798 statute predicated on us being in a state of war with Venezuela to deport people notwithstanding the specific immigration laws is illegal. Am I the last American standing who can think for himself? Who isn't a puppet of his favorite politician's talking points?

Well, thank God for Trump and his exceedingly simple and predictable tariff regime. Bodes well for that big beautiful tax bill that's coming. By the way, thanks for sharing that Rumsfeld letter. It's a classic! And it's exactly how I felt when I completed my taxes last week.

And this is what some of us saw coming. Proper response: we are going to follow the law. Enforce it as written. End the lax Biden "we'll pick and choose what deportable aliens get to stay" lawbreaking. Improper response: you did it, we'll do it too. And then your guy will get elected again someday and do whatever the hell he wants. It's all about revenge, not about doing things right.

What? Tomatoes? Weed? Are those of you in WNY going to build greenhouses and install grow lights so you can have local hothouse heirloom tomatoes at $5 each? I've seen those in Whole Foods in the winter. By the way, we should legalize weed at the federal level and import it from a lower-cost producer. Maybe El Salvador.

Really? The people demanding that the government follow the rule of law are the bad guys? I thought we were a government of laws, not of the whims of one man. Except it was an argument that DID win, at least before the immigration judge, at least to the extent that he could not legally be sent back to El Salvador. By not appealing the government accepted that decision. The Trump Administration did not appeal and accepted that decision.

I didn't pore over it. I googled "George Scott Brewers" and pasted it. Thank you for running it through your Fat Brewers AI Machine for me. At least it wasn't Gorman Thomas or Rob Deer.

Is that CC? It was rather grainy ... But I really did have that George "Boomer" Scott card.

So reassuring given that the official story is he wound up there through "administrative error."

Because that moron effectively committed suicide by cop.

They hired crappy "crisis actors" for this one.

Sorry, you're right. By the way, has Trump ever visited a National Park? I mean as a private citizen. There are so many core American experiences this Richie Rich never took part in. Has he ever mowed a lawn? So disconnected from normal life, yet somehow the champion of the "common man."

And you know they'll always come back to "our January 6 hostages." If Biden had to do it all over again he'd have sent them to the Salvadoran prison to serve out their terms. And bribed Bukele to get him to refuse to send them back.

Labor Unions: didn't you see this one coming when you decided not to endorse?

More room in our great National Parks for me! Winning!!

Umm, here's what he said when he left Harvard the last time around, from his wiki page: In February 2021, reports circulated that West was denied consideration for tenure at Harvard and that he had threatened to leave the university again.[42] On March 8, 2021, West announced that he would leave Harvard and move to the Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan.[43][44][45] He submitted a resignation letter to Harvard on June 30, 2021.[46][non-primary source needed] West implied that the decision to deny him tenure was retaliation for his critical stance on Israel and the Palestinian cause. West wrote: Is Harvard a place for a free Black man like myself whose Christian faith and witness put equal value on Palestinian and Jewish babies – like all babies – and reject all occupations as immoral? Got that? He was too pro-Palestinian for Harvard.

Unless he's like the El Paso kid. Then they like it.

I happen to be familiar with the tweeter here - he's a very liberal immigration attorney who is obviously very familiar with MS-13. So yes ... a typo.
