A Slo-Mo Constitutional Clash Is Already Well Underway

Not sure exactly how to frame it, but there’s definitely an entirely different threat presented by someone who knows they’re selling a load of dogshit than the madman who has no idea that it’s not fresh beef.

I finally watched last night, and I agree. I have distinct “Hitler loved his dogs” vibes.

I imagine most brutal dictators aren’t brutal in private. Usually it’s an underling who’s the true psychopath: Hitler’s inner circle was afraid of Heydrich; Stalin’s group steered clear of Beria.

But that doesn’t mean the main guy isn’t morally bankrupt, or his pals. It’s not like the Argentine junta shed tears over the people they dropped from helicopters.

Or, in terms closer to home, that members of one Mafia clan paused before killing their rivals.

This grab wasn’t done in Boston, but in a Massachusetts suburb.

The difference between Boston and Somerville is crossing the street.
It’s not really a suburb—more like a neighborhood. Lots of Harvard stuff there.

Today, when you think Queens, you don’t think “Queens College!” the way Cambridge prompts thoughts of Harvard and MIT.

To be completely fair, if you ask most Americans to name a college in Caimbridge… they’re gonna say ‘Caimbridge’ and then when you say ‘no, in Massachusetts’, they’ll respond with ‘There’s a Caimbridge in Massachusetts?’

Couldn’t possibly be that no, in general, our elected officials aren’t all running around with a personal Seal Team Six protecting them at all hours, and they don’t have unlimited security budgets.

It ain’t about MAGA. Question is why do u think it’s gotta be Seal Team Six, for him to have adequate competent home security at level of majority home owners without them. Who was watching his home security monitors? Why were they chasing him & having to retreat to go wake up family?

C’mon, that doesn’t require SealTeam Six level protection. Watching the monitors alone means send a few to chase, send others to wake up family. Yet, they abandoned the chase? wtf? This is basic security not some SealTeam Six, shyt. Just basic.
