I wonder how Trump became such an expert on low IQ individuals. Must be the company he has kept for so many years.

Haven't heard or seen anyone bring up Curtis LeMay yet - maybe I need better sources - but that IS his "Stone Age" quote - although back then it was North Viet Nam.

The more things change...

It's in there: "Trump did notorious Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay one better."

And it was anticipated in Monday's Morning Memo: "To listen to Trump’s increasingly shrill threats, you’d think he was about to go Curtis LeMay on Iran." https://morningmemo.talkingpointsmemo.com/p/trumps-iran-war-objectives-have-collapsed

Yall do know that everything Trump says about Somalians, all the slurs are primarily projection. Talk about stupid: Iran. Hard to be more stupid than that. And not just Donny but his entire party, many if not most national Democrats, the establishment media…

As for the birthright citizenship case, my unified theory of Roberts junta lawlessness and shit pulling:

They're a mix of happy and accepting of a need to submit to Trump on nearly all shadow docket matters. The part there that isn't party hackwork is due to the eternal problem of the court issuing a directive that gets ignored. Do that often enough and the court -- not this one but SCOTUS generally -- has a huge problem. Having too people ignoring the decision in it is how Brown vs Bd of Ed got a follow up practically immediately.

So where these scumbags the Roberts junta draws the line is formal decisions (not shadow docket stuff) that would establish precedent that can be used by a D POTUS willing and in a position to use said precedent which is to say in a way adverse to the grand GOP proto-fascist project. The recent tariff decision was an example.

And this one where, essentially, the issue is whether a POTUS can declare that the plain English of a clear enough constitutional can be rewritten by presidential fiat. Looks like odds are that there's a majority for whom that's a bridge too far. Time will telll.

And ahead, that implied argument there may be making a repeat appearance when Donny's at SCOTUS arguing that the 22nd amendment is unconstitutional and he should be allowed to run in 2028.

All of which is to say the junta's support for Trump isn't absolute; more like 99+%. And some of it is even legit.
