That's fine insofar as any religious group is a "protected class," but when 1-2 religious groups are the only ones receiving protection and one, in particular, is especially disfavored by the regime, we've got a serious problem.

To my point, the ultimate backstop on this is court rulings that decide what is and is not discrimination, or unlawful discrimination.

That won't immediately protect people from adverse actions by or at the behest of the government, but it might give them a remedy.  And that might mean that all this fictitious discrimination shit becomes performative, only, to the extent it is not already.

No, my friend. Citizens taking the law into their own hands are the ultimate backstop. The courts are a mutually agreeable alternative only to the extent that they are not captured by a political faction, which in this moment they are. If they can’t return to their role of politically independent arbiters, it’s just a matter of time.

So using this logic, they could kidnap anyone and send them there for any reason, or no reason at all, and there is nothing they could do to ever get them back. 

Who would have thought that a rape-happy, lying felon would set up a system where he's accountable for nothing?

I've now decided that should the autocrat be overthrown and made captive, he should go to the El Salvador hell hole himself. I'm sure the flying pigs will favor this as well.

I started to type out all the horrific things he has done, purposefully, since his inauguration. Starting with intentionally destroying our economy. It was too depressing. "Hey, maybe we should think about impeaching him??" Yeah, maybe.

Are you the one who said they were starting a Google Docs list a couple of months ago, itemizing the daily bullshit? Yeah, I can see how that'd be a burden.

Trump's used Air Force One, at taxpayer expense, to travel from West Palm Beach to Miami—a drive of just over an hour—for a UFC event.

Add Elmo to the list and I make that deal.

Question for law dogs.  If these firms do a pro-bono case in conjunction with the administration, does this preclude them from representing a client against the administration in another case?  If so, locking down the countries mot powerful lawfirms so they can’t sue the administration seems pretty valuable.

No. At least it shouldn’t. All big firms have robust conflict checking systems and isolate attorneys that may have conflicts. Now, that doesn’t prevent the government from trying to claim a conflict, but that would ultimately be determined by the judge.

So last night someone tried to set fire to the Pennsylvania governors mansion while Shapiro and his family were asleep and no mention of it from turnip or his minions on this app?

Technically, it’s different because he also has Salvadoran citizenship. At least that’s how I interpret their justification for making the claim. It’s all nonsense of course. There’s a million ways we could go about getting him back. Hell, just stick with the classics, and threaten them with 100% tariffs!

It just makes me so mad, because it only reminds me of the democrat party of big government and how much they hate freedom and liberty.

Thanks, I've been referring to that pattern from old memory. Nice to see it laid out.

Our mistake was seeing it as evolutionary and arriving at last to the stable form of democracy.

I wanted to watch the 60 Minutes piece but also wanted an anxiety-free Sunday night so it’s saved for tomorrow. But now I’m even more excited.

It feels like we’re watching a crazy person come completely unhinged, and unfortunately, that crazy person is currently our president. He’s a bully picking fights with anyone and everyone and eventually he’s going to find himself on the losing end of things.

I watch a lot, and this week was absolutely over the top. He usually gets a few seconds of a recorded walk in, definitely gets shown on the ringside celeb cam a couple times, but this week giving him a fucking walk in with a couple minutes of uninterrupted screen time and fuckin Tulsi and Kash and Brain Worms and Elon getting screen time and fawned over? Straight knob-slobbing going on over at UFC these days. 

Last summer I went to a sports bar to watch a Longhorn baseball game with some buddies.  Unbeknownst to us, there was a big UFC fight that night that overlapped with the game.  I will never forget the reaction of that packed bar when they showed Trump on the broadcast.  One of my first "holy shit, he really might win" moments.

Above the Law taking this opportunity to absolutely roast the law firms that chose to bend the knee to Trump:

Some choice bits (https://abovethelaw.com/2025/04/pray-i-dont-alter-it-any-further-what-darth-vader-should-teach-law-firms-about-settling-with-trump/:

Quote

With that, every Gen Xer and elder Millennial Star Wars fan learned that if you make a deal under duress with a retaliatory government official to save your business, you are a hopeless chump and will get systematically rolled. It was a raw demonstration of what happens when you negotiate with someone who doesn’t believe in the concept of negotiation.

Biglaw firms striking deals with the Trump administration to — theoretically — “protect” their firm or their clients from government interference, missed this lesson. These firms — Paul Weiss, Willkie, Skadden, Milbank (and potentially more to come) — now enter their Lando Era, watching the administration heap daily humiliation upon them while continually altering the deal to the firms’ detriment.

Who could’ve seen this coming except everyone?

Quote

But the important thing each of these firms want you to know is that this was a professional deal among very serious people conducted at a very serious boardroom table and not, in fact, the legal equivalent of getting choked out mid-sentence. And that it’s patently unfair that radical agitators — like, well, Above the Law — characterize these deals as “surrender” or “bending the knee.” No one seriously involved in these deals would say something like that! Let’s check in on the OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE TAKE:

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement that “Big Law continues to bend the knee to President Trump because they know they were wrong, and he looks forward to putting their pro bono legal concessions toward implementing his America First agenda.”

The White House is the one saying “bend the knee!” Forget Star Wars, this is some Game of Thrones ass shit. 

 

Quote

Trump has proposed using the free legal services that the firms thought they’d committed to conservative-friendly — but that would nonetheless remain causes of the firms’ choosing — to handle coal leases for the administration’s proposed CoalPunk AI revolution and to negotiate tariff deals… before he realized tariffs were tanking the economy. It’s not just Trump speaking out of advanced dementia either, with Stephen Miller, who relishes his role as a Stormtrooper, echoing this sentiment describing the deals as part of an initiative to bank a billion in free legal services. Meanwhile, a Heritage Foundation group has approached the surrender firms asking for free legal work and citing their Trump pledges.

So far the law firms aren’t acknowledging these alterations to the deal. But the White House remains very clear:

“Assign.”

GREAT WORK, IDIOTS!
