They’ve crossed it. There’s no way these 6 would have been *or will be* as deferential to a Democratic administration. That’s on them, not us.

What I actually struggle with is that we're well into the zone where our founding principles and natural law not only permit revolt but probably require it as our duty as citizens, and I am shirking every day.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

I don't know what of the old constitution is left anyway if the president has absolute immunity and all the enumerated Article I powers are actually plenary powers of the president. It's the opposite of what our constitution had meant for 250 years, and is unknown in English tradition.

If the current regime is ever removed, I think it will be straightforward to argue that the court has been illegitimate since July 1, 2024. I don't see any other way to recovery under the current constitution.

Megan McArdle took all of nine months to move from reluctant Harris voter to full regime apologist.

Must have something to do with being unemployable in any competitive position.

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

This WaPo editorial presents a misleading revisionist history of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s criminal cases against Trump.

Then it has the gall to compare that to Trump’s overt targeting of his perceived enemies.

Really embarrassing stuff.

But the mere fact that a legal tool might be available does not mean it should be used. The
current rage over Grassley's revelation shows why. Smith showed little restraint in his pursuit of a former president. He charged Trump for official acts he took as president. He sought a gag order to limit Trump's ability to criticize the prosecution. He tried to accelerate the case to try a leading presidential candidate before the 2024 election.

An enormous amount of the wiring in most societies is not doing the things you could do because everyone will hate you if you do them.

But these people are sociopaths.

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.
