The Trump administration's vision of Article II authority puts him beyond the reach of the courts - which would allow him to "disappear" people at will.
The first step in making Martin Niemoller's famous "First they came..." poem a reality under the Project 2025 autocracy. First they came for the immigrants and I did not speak out because I was not an immigrant... Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act is serving as his preliminary catalyst to defy the courts authority. If he is successful in this violation, he is sure to expand it to apply to all those whom he refers to as the 'radical left lunatics'. His psychotic vengeance and fragile ego know no bounds.
Oh dear, Asha. You definitely understand how badly we are
you-know-what if this is allowed to stand. Thank you for taking the time to keep us informed after your observations of the animal kingdom—which has order at least.
The devil is in the details. Here the Administration will argue that the Executive is allowed to circumvent the Court by claiming the Court has no jurisdiction here. Of course, as pointed out, I didn’t know Congress declared war against Argentina or and particular gang. Details.
We’re starting to get into “enforced disappearance” and crimes against humanity territory if I understand things correctly. I’m at a loss as to how to respond to this. Outside having an absolute shoulder to shoulder crushing sea of humanity surrounding the White House campus, the Treasury building, and the Naval Observatory demanding an end to this it looks like the public is cheerfully accepting it.
I bet he also intends to categorize Americans who criticized him as "enemies" and either imprison or send them to Venezuela or wherever too? Especially since he's already said that Jan 6 Committee members and some journalists are "enemies".
Why the judge give the DOJ attorney the option to respond to questions as opposed to jailing him on the spot? This is all theater and we are now all bit players in Trumps fascist autocracy.
I feel like the fond and perhaps dotty grandma I am in saying Dear Asha as an opener. But I mean it, as I am so grateful for your illumination of the most pressing legal issues before us. Hopefully, being old and dotty won't be interpreted under Trump's new shiny extension of presidential power as cause for my deportation. Hmm, as I am partly French Canadian and partly a sort of UK mongrel, plus a smidgen of "Iberian," to which country would he deport me? I pick Canada, where I'm sure to find a lot of friends and support.
About that $6M to El S, is this a way to traffic humans and launder monies in one go? Curious here about the strategies, is it for resources or continental gang territory divisions.
Like a monkey with a machine gun. Good read.
What isn’t ….what in his hands is safe?

Wondering if it is about oil and Venezuelan natural resources instead of gangs? Based on his greed for Ukraine’s resources, he is pure greed.

We need to elevate the discourse about Public Interest.

In a nut shell:
Trump is senile.
Musk’s brain is mush from drugs.
You heard that here first.
You are welcomed.
Isn’t mars marvelous!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

That must be why the felon started a war with Houthi terrorist group now
