  1. Metcalf's father has handled this with a lot of grace from what I've seen.
  2. Lawsuit filed challenging Trump's emergency tariff powers, both as an emergency and constitutionally as a "major question" that can't be delegated by Congress. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-constitutional-case-against-trump-s-trade-war Seems fairly meritorious.
  3. Vladek on the SCOTUS order in AARP. https://substack.com/home/post/p-161666904
  4. Strike and strike and strike . . . may I mambu dogfish in the banana patch. imo.
  5. I should clarify, the 69 Delta 88 would go. The 77 would not.
  6. How many spiritual advisors has this fuckhead had?
  7. AARP are the initials of one of the plaintiffs, permitted to proceed anonymously.
  8. What's kind of hilarious about that is, those immigrants contribute to, but cannot claim SSI.
  9. Elmo's Rent-To-Own! Get your missile defense here, no money down!
  10. Now, based on the Auburn precedent, I'm worried that this guy will get the yips or whatever Auburn did and go from spectacular to shitty.
  11. Because, by and large, I don't think the person of POTUS, once a staff has been assembled and a policy direction established, is all that critical to running the country. Just need a few hours of coherence on a daily basis. You concede that the country was run competently with Biden in a less than ideal state. I also concede that he couldn't campaign, and also couldn't likely do some of the more cosmetic parts of the office and that it wasn't going to get better.
  12. Both can be true. Biden was capable, with good staff, which he mostly had, to do what he needed to do. But the optics of it were terrible.
  13. Wear your Blacks for Trump tshirt, super-unironically.
  14. I'm a lil shocked, especially given the procedural posture there. @wildcat09 you were saying? It is an administrative order, only, so they could turn on a dime, but . . . .
  15. Mara Salvatrucha tats tend not to be subtle, or coded.
  16. Whoops, not dup. /noracist Paying sporadic attention.
  17. Moved himself on a PB.
  18. And the acting commissioner (for 2 days) was that douchebag Gary Shapley that tried to be a "whistleblower" on Hunter Biden. Apparently Bessent was not amused.
  19. I think that person was finally released.
  20. Not to mention all the bullshit defamation cases he filed. And that legal abortion he filed against Hildawg and everyone in sight, and the DTPA in Amarillo against CBS, that has now turned into a Lanham Act 43(a) case for fuck's sake.
  21. Possibly more importantly, an adult driving around with 8 unrelated kids is less susceptible to innocent explanation than an adult Hispanic male driving around with 8 adult Hispanic males, which is pretty consistent with things other than human trafficking. Sure, adult humans can be trafficked for all sorts of nefarious purposes (see Wire, Season 2), but it usually involves restraint or other coercion, like weapons. That's some highly shiesty evidence of human trafficking.
  22. Unfortunately, in this accurate statement, "white" and "colored" are interchangeable with variations of brown, black and yellow, and probably some other immutable characteristics, and ethnic labels. “If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”
  23. Some addendum to this. Hendrix' order denying the TRO in Texas. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69898198/27/aarp-v-trump/ "But the government’s response confirms that it has no present plans to remove either petitioner until the habeas petition is resolved and that it will notify the Court if that changes. Dkt. No. 19 at 12–13. The government once again confirmed its continued belief that “the requirement for judicial review includes a process for affording notice and opportunity to be heard prior to being removed under AEA authority” and that once “that opportunity to be heard has been satisfied, removal may proceed unless a court orders otherwise.” Id. at 13. The government further provided a declaration from Yousef Khan, Assistant Field Office Director for the United States Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who stated that “ICE does not intend to remove A.A.R.P. or W.M.M. under the AEA while their habeas petitions are pending.”" That seems to be some pretty affirmative shit from the government. Almost acting lawful. HOWEVER, what it says is that the two named plaintiffs will not be deported, but the petition represents a class of persons, namely those held in ND Tex pending deportation. Gubmint doesn't say a thing about them. Also, it says "under AEA," which leaves some wiggle room for removal/deportation under some other bullshit. Of course, one response to this by the court would be to actually enjoin them from doing what they say they won't do, along with the other putative class members. Bit hard to argue with that or appeal.
  24. The Texas district judge in question is James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump appointee that broadly lacks the "hack cred" that most of the minions have. Still appalling. Also, Chad Meacham is the acting USA ND Tex. He's been an AUSA for a long time, like 20 years, and by most accounts a pretty solid guy if a bit of a tough on crime true believer. Will be interesting to see how robustly his office represents the Administration. Oh, also he was acting during most of the Biden Administration, as well.
