Pretty sad. The courts continue to tiptoe around the Trump administration. They are already ignoring a Supreme Court order. A district court ruling or order means nothing to them. Contempt of court and jail might have a stronger effect.

I was wondering why the China trade policy was so erratic, just slapping tariffs without thinking about the repercussions, the stupid tariff formula and shit.

The answer is that Trump is handling that himself with little input from others.

Nobody gets “due process” anymore, because “Donald” is using it all for himself. Delay, delay, delay!! Only HE gets to do it.

“…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

Apologies if this lands like a lead brick, but some of these mornings it’s hard to be glib. Going for a stroll.

In December, Wang had been questioned by his employers about allegedly receiving undisclosed funding from China on a project that also received US federal research grants. On the same day of the home raids, Wang was fired from his longstanding post at Indiana University over email – a move that goes against the university’s own policy.

But Wang hasn’t been charged with any offence, and his lawyer says no criminal charges are pending.

Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
