Why?

What does this have to do with us?

What sort of foreign policy is this?

If something bad happens to a criminal Trump pal abroad, U.S. taxpayers have to pay for a war or a new tariff or some silly new overarching foreign policy agenda?

What is that?

Yeah, fuck that.

When only loyalists are left it's only a matter of time before they're not even loyal to you anymore.
“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.

Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.
