This guy’s passport is gonna have more stamps on it than mine does, at this rate.
There’s nothing positive about this, other than the admin’s desire to make an example of him. No one is going to stop this travesty. As soon as this court adjudicates, regardless of the outcome, this guy is on a plane. Once he’s gone, he’s not coming back because there’s no one will make the government return him.
Now, the Times and Post are just tiny departments of a vast, money-making media machine. And yet, they have the capability to decrease the profits of said machine. BAD!!! So Little Appendage Departments cannot be permitted to make waves which might diminish profits, however slightly.
TRUMP is a vindictive little prick. His persecution of Abrego Garcia is only meant to cover up that they fucked up in the first place. But in today’s environment TRUMP feels he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, to whomever he wants.
I had this talk just now with Dear Hubby. He says if we want to change it, have elections. We lost this last election, so stop crying about it and make the change. I told him about the NYT map this morning that shows registration with the Dem party is hemorrhaging. He responded yes, and that’s because all they’re doing is crying and not taking any action. Then he noted that Newsom is probably the only guy and Hubby is looking forward to Illinois, specifically Chicago, pushing back on the First Felon’s NG push. He said he doesn’t know how this is going to turn out and it really could go either way, depending on how the Chicago police feel about the NG encroaching on their territory.
He said if Pritzker and the mayor fold on this, he feels it’s all pretty much over.
Maybe I’m just reading it wrong, so what’s the story on this shipbuilding deal with South Korea ? Are we going to be doing the ship building or are they ? Hard to believe we’d be doing it but since the underlying theme is to make us great again thru manufacturing buying ships made in Korea would be counterintuitive
This might help to understand where we’re at with the Voting Rights Act after SCOTUS essentially went out of its way to gut it. There still is some preclearance but not like it used to be.
ETA: John Roberts tried to snooker the country into believing we were now a post-racial society, no longer in need of preclearance if you recall. He’s a phony phuck. Balls and strikes, my ass.
My expat Mom lived in Canada for the last 74 years of her life and she was a proud American all her life (100 years, 1921-2021). Her health was declining in her later years, and her failing sight and hearing, combined with cognitive decline meant she had no way to comprehend Trump 1.0. It made no sense to her (because it made no sense), and my brother and I were not inclined to explain it to her. It is a mercy she is no longer here to live through this.
The way that this maladministration is treating Abrego Garcia is revenge for him making Trump and his minions look bad. He exposed Trump’s finest trait cruelty.
