Which perfectly validates Greenland and Denmark’s reaction to the Vance & Co. threatened visit. Nice!

- David, you’re admitting a mistake? You’ll never cut it in the tfg administration!
- Good for Canada. I think Dear Leader actually said that our allies may not be our allies much longer, and he would know.
It’s all transactional with the guy. The damned thing is, he’s always had so much money or leverage that – even when he was declaring bankruptcy, stiffing contractors, or just generally being a narcissistic sociopath – there’s always been another fool willing to do business with him.
Makes you long for the good ol’ days of ostracizing.

Alina Habba will have to explain to the judge what she meant if she ever tries to prosecute a corrupt Democratic politician. Not that there are any of those in New Jersey.

WilmerHale, at the time Hale & Dorr, also provided Joseph Welch to defend the US Army against Joseph McCarthy in 1954. So it would be a long-standing grievance, if anyone in the current misadministration had a sense of history.

I hope the good people of Greenland apply the same test to the Vance party.

So, does that mean Bibi is no longer welcome to visit?

If it’s Merrick Garland failing to aggressively prosecute Donald Trump, or Pam Bondi refusing to prosecute the crimes of Trump’s cabinet members, both recent Attorneys General have not enforced the law.
Hat tip to NYT Pitchbot.

And how many Pro-Israel counter protestors have been arrested or lost their Visas or have been deported for violent attacks on Pro-Palestinian protestors?
I’m guess between Zero and None.

Ha…also made me think of cummings…
here is little Effie’s head
whose brains are made of gingerbread
when judgment day comes
God will find six crumbs
stooping by the coffinlid
waiting for something to rise
as the other somethings did-
you imagine his surprise
bellowing through the general noise
Where is Effie who was dead?
-to God in a tiny voice,
i am may the first crumb said
whereupon its fellow five
crumbs chuckled as if they were alive
and number two took up the song
might i’m called and did no wrong
cried the third crumb, i am should
and this is my little sister could
with our big brother who is would
don’t punish us for we were good;
and the last crumb with some shame
whispered unto God, my name
is must and with the others i’ve
been Effie who isn’t alive
just imagine it I say
God amid a monstrous din
watch your step and follow me
stooping by Effie’s little, in
(want a match or can you see?)
which the six subjective crumbs
twitch like mutilated thumbs;
picture His peering biggest whey
coloured face on which a frown
puzzles, but I know the way-
(nervously Whose eyes approve
the blessed while His ears are crammed
with the strenuous music of
the innumerable capering damned)
-staring wildly up and down
the here we are now judgment day
cross the threshold have no dread
lift the sheet back in this way
here is little Effie’s head
whose brains are made of gingerbread

Of course not! Besides, Musk would pay the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction. You know, like Superman in the first Christopher Reeve movie.

Our benevolent host Josh covered the topic of EOs on Wednesday in an EdBlog on the TPM front page. He made the point that in some areas where Presidents have greater Constitutional authority like immigration, an EO can have actual power. Can’t break the laws, but there’s a lot of leeway.
In other areas like the EO on citizenship requirements for elections (which is already required) it’s more wishcasting, because elections are run by the states. It’s outside the realm of the Executive branch unless Congress acts. An EO like this is political theater.
The media is bad at covering this because too many just don’t understand the different categories of EO, whether they actually represent Executive branch power or not, and also the fact that pushback from the courts is reactive. Trump signs an EO, the courts react. That tends to make Trump’s EOs seem more significant than they really are, until they’re eventually shot down.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this in their older family members, but a few of my relatives that grew up without fluoridized water had bad teeth. And some of my older relatives solved this problem by having all their teeth removed and had dentures.
I checked and St Louis started adding fluoride in the municipal water supply in 1954. Which supports my memory of few of my classmates in school who moved from the country, where they were mostly on well water, and had a few rotten teeth.
