    I mean, being complicit in undermining the Constitution and destroying the global economy does come with some risks, right?
  3. I think this goes here ...
  4. That's big of them. I was fully prepared for them to say, "Everyone should have the opportunity to challenge their removal, but the courts have no ability to contest the 'no backsies' clause of the Trump administration's agreements with foreign governments, so, sorry, the best we can do is send a 'I was wrongfully deported" t-shirt to CECOT memorializing your big win in the U.S. courts."
  5. Stock futures up 2.5% - 3% this morning. Markets are doing what they seem to do ... just straight up gambling in the absence of anyone having a fucking clue what the toddler in the White House is going to do. Cool.
  6. I was just curious as to whether John Roberts had any question as to who "Daddy" is at this point - i.e., Trump or Koch / Leo? He obviously owes a lot to the Federalist Society / Heritage Foundation / Kochs. That said, I think he realizes when the Trump admin tells the USSC to fuck off directly in response to a ruling, the gig is officially up - so if he's ever going to go against Trump on anything of consequence from here on out, he'll need as many allies as possible - and Leo and Charles are about as strong as you're going to get.
  7. Does that apply to John Roberts, or just Charles and Leo? It would almost be worth it if John became a cautionary tale for ACB and the rest ...
  8. Everyone time I see that pic, I can't help but think he really needs to add a new song to his rally playlist ...
  9. The way things are going, if I'm Trump, I'm not sure I want a row of M1A2 Abrams rolling past, given their 1.5 mi range - I mean, it would just take someone sneaking 1 shell aboard ...

    Such bullshit ... So they're just going to toss out 60,000 votes by voters with "allegedly incomplete registrations" unless they fix their ballots within 15 days?
  11. China announces 34% tariff on all US products, and this is going about as well as we all expected ...
  12. No you wouldn't - not if she ended up like Kristy ... (And fuck Ben Stein too.)

    You ever wonder how much better a place the U.S. would be if the News Corp Building (and Rupert and Roger) had been blown up on 9/11 instead of the WTC?
  14. GIGO. The problem is the target - saying that "eliminating the trade deficit" = "an even playing field." That's just a gross oversimplification.

    Any bets on how many of the folks at the event were heavily invested in inverse leveraged ETFs and shorts yesterday? I'm going with 100%. Maybe 110% ... whatever it takes ...
  16. Every person with a shred of math / economic sense after reading the admin's explanation:
  17. I would love to believe, but as Red once said, "Hope is a dangerous thing." Unless they're going to drag Beto out there for run #13, it feels like it's time for some folks to get some name recognition in preparation for the 2026 elections. Honestly, the only folks on the bench that I'd be excited about in statewide elections at this point are Jasmine Crockett, James Talarico and maybe Lizzie Fletcher. Are there any up-and-coming folks in Texas politics, or is the bench as barren as it seems?
  18. It really feels like he's flushing the global economy and the goodwill the U.S. has built up over the last 80 years down the toilet just so he can make the whole world watch him babbling for a fucking hour. Good job, America - who can have foreseen this after watching this narcissistic fuck treat the pandemic like his own shitty reality show last time.
  19. Jamelle strikes me as someone that hasn't read any of the Supreme Court's recent case law - i mean, I'm pretty sure "Nihilistic Textualism" is the name of Alito and Clarence's garage band - it's their written rationalization for what is ultimately just Calvinball.
  20. If the Dems were smart, they'd be pushing the Supreme Court to consider this in the run-up for the 2028 election. I know that the SC would say that the issue isn't ripe, but there needs to be existing political pressure in place to prevent Roberts and Co. from pulling the same old "Aw shucks, we just can't rule on this so close to the election, so maybe next time ..." bullshit.
  21. Here you go - in a nutshell, ol' Keith was using the "We're not Nazis, you're nazis ..." defense. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/01/capitol-hill-hearing-biden-censorship-trump
