Sigh…

For every defeat imposed on Trump he has numerous successes. Like the continuing ICE horrors, the Iran war insanity, the election fuckery because the pathological POS can’t accept the idea of rejection and so on and so forth.

As for the Trump Vindication Fandango in Florida, no competent prosecutors are needed because it’s all about abusing enemies or “enemies” as the case may be. If there was any merit involved, yeah, sure, the resigning lead prosecutors would be a problem.

Tips:

Winning a battle isn’t the same as winning a war.

The opposition to the domestic radical right wing aka Republicans and their special interests has no end date so the fighting can’t stop.

If Republican power isn’t being reduced if not ended for good or close to it, any given victory doesn’t matter.

Life’s too short for BS…

Re: the Alien Enemies Act...The DOJ, speaking for and with trump's overt encouragement, is saying "I am the law", and this is the crux of the matter. The lower courts have almost been unanimous in scuppering that posture, but there has been enough succor supplied by the Scotus majority's use of the "shadow docket" to stay several of those important lower-court decisions to further embolden the DOJ scofflaws to keep pushing trump's patently unconstitutional executive orders.

Good on Judge Boasberg for persevering, at no little cost to a well-earned reputation as a just and well-versed district judge.

The WaPo link is only for subscribers. I used to be one but it’s a shadow of its former self so fuck Jeff Bezos for his bait and switch.

And a future Dem POTUS won't have the backbone to tear down all the Trump garbage in DC. We'll be stuck with it.

Perhaps; perhaps not. None of this construction is legal, so there will be adequate grounds for tearing it all down.

“It’s super unclear…”! Who’s your editor - Natalie Hart? Pretty jarring use of a descriptive in an otherwise serious article.
