It’s safe to say that if Kilmar were a blonde, blue-eyed MAGA supporter they’d move heaven and earth to get him home.

The Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia debacle is focusing on legal issues, but the most telling fact is a moral one: that the Trump admin feels not the slightest compunction to correct their own mistake and reunite him with his family. They thrill in their own lack of basic human decency.

The wholesale surrender of major law firms to Trump’s “pro bono” agenda (i.e., coal, tariffs, etc.) is positively nauseating. Not just as a matter of free speech but basic corporate control over their own businesses. Incredibly short-sighted.

For being such a purportedly brilliant negotiator, Trump obvs. just proved he isn’t, destroying any leverage the U.S. & Ukraine have against Russia. Oh right, forgot he’s negotiating to increase Russia’s leverage.

Trump and Vance just planted the seeds for WWIII. The U.S. won’t help Europe repel another Russian invasion - or Taiwan against China - because they weren’t thankful enough.

What this is really all about is inequality in America: a few billionaires with truly insane and childish whims get to ruin the lives of millions of Americans just because they feel like it.

He’s simply a liar. Everyone should say it, over and over and over again. This piece confirms that he of course knows he’s lying, rather than just being deluded - which would grant him a measure of innocence he doesn’t deserve. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/u...
Trump Uses Lies to Lay the Groundwork for Radical Change
Condoms for Gaza? Ukraine started the war with Russia? The president’s manipulations of the truth lay the groundwork for radical change.

Your friendly PSA that 1984 is actually 2025:
Love is Hate.
War is Peace.
The Sky is Pink.
Ukraine started the war with Russia.

Absolutely, Your Majesty: it is beyond dispute that if King Donald believes He is saving the Country, then by definition His Majesty is not breaking the Law.

Kudos to the SDNY prosecutor who happens to believe the law should be applied to all regardless of political connections.

Look carefully: Elon’s really after government contracts while breaking everyone else’s (NIH research grants, USAID grain purchase contracts, federal employee contracts, etc.). It’s “cost-cutting” as a smokescreen to plunder our tax dollars for himself.

How ironic for Musk to riff on fraud in government while constantly lying as a government employee.

The real lesson is that only billionaires get to break the law without consequences. The rest of us would end up in jail or impoverished by legal fees.

Trump, Musk and MAGA-land in general seem to take pleasure in the cruelty they’re inflicting on millions of people in the U.S. and around the world. So much for America’s moral leadership - “soft power” is so last century.

We can mark Feb. 4 as the likely beginning of the Emperor’s New Clothes period, when we can legitimately question whether our president is losing his mind.
