Holiday story with a fascinating background.
This totally makes sense somehow

In June 1940, Bordeaux was a city in panic. Nazi tanks were approaching, and tens of thousands of refugees—families, elderly, children—desperately sought visas to neutral Portugal.
Portugal’s Circular 14 banned diplomats from giving visas to Jews, stateless people, and political refugees.

Solid point
They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

This guy could have been trump's source of BS to drop from the sky. He wouldn't know the truth of it slapped him in the face.
Q: Was it a mistake for Trump to blanket-pardon all the Jan. 6 rioters, given that one was just arrested for threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries?
Johnson: “The violence on the left is far more prevalent than the violence on the right...”

Introspective thoughts about where we are at this moment in time.
We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.
That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
