That requires some explanation. All presidents put their party first but all presidents (minus one) make at least a pretence of being president of the whole country,

@espinsegall.bsky.social The average American standing in line to vote has a greater chance of encountering a large python than a fraudulent voter.

@espinsegall.bsky.social We talk of immigration raids, tariffs, fed independence and election interference yet somehow a great moral question of our time is either forgotten or swept under the rug. Two days ago the U.S. military sunk a boat in the eastern Pacific

Trump's deportations contribute no net value to public safety. If we fear migrant criminals among us better to give the money being wasted on deportations to state and local law enforcement with federal law appending deportation to state and local sentences. DHS and ICE as presently

@espinsegall.bsky.social A one weeks worth of Trump crimes (probably incomplete).

1) Murders two more people on the high seas.
2) Promotes virulent racist meme regarding Barack and Michelle Obama
3) Attempted to torpedo essential Gateway project for failure to comply with bribe demand

@espinsegall.bsky.social The basic builiding block of Marxism was Marx's observation that the capitalist derives profit disproportionate to his input because his input of capital allows him to exploit the surplus value of labor.

This incident differs from the "perfect phone call" in that with respect to Ukraine Trump could argue that benefits might have accrued to parties other than himself from an investigation of Hunter Biden.

@jamellebouie.net So much of the news I read is an incitement to say or do something both utterly futile and incredibly stupid.

In brief the court's abuse of the shadow docket process is allowed to mirror the government's abuse of "reasonable suspicion".

I think recent events have shown we need to go beyond the pragmatic fact that the votes are simply not there. The issue of Donald Trump's continuance as president cannot be judged simply as a partisan

@espinsegall.bsky.social Suppose against expectations the Supreme Court sides with Trump on birthright citizenship. Both my parents were born in the U.S. but all my grandparents were naturalized citizens.
