The administration’s MO is to do something any sane person would interpret as massively escalatory to the point of war and then go “Oh that yeah we don’t care about that anymore” and immediately pivot elsewhere. This is surprisingly effective and likely remains so, until it very suddenly does not.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Nuremberg is the moderate position
The WH released photos of Trump watching the operation live from a makeshift “war room” at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump went on Fox News this morning and said he watched it like “a television show,” praising the “speed” and “violence” as “an amazing thing.”

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

We should get Trump addicted to VH1’s “I Love the 80s!” and see if that distracts him for awhile
I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987
At this point the oil barons hardly even care (they can pivot to renewables too). It’s just gender and internal combustion brain

AI can never make art; it can only cobble together delusions
These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Instead, the informal practices & observed norms have changed drastically in the 21st century, effectively reshaping the US Constitution into its present autocratic form. Article I has been repealed by implication of the way those heading Congress have abdicated its constitutional authority.

Again, if you think of constitutions as *mainly* limiting govt power, this will seem bizarre. But constitutions *always* are doing many things at once (as I argue in this linked article) & one thing they do is *effectuate* govt power by organizing & authorizing its exercise via different offices.

A concept I've been meaning to float to make sense of what's happened to the US Constitution is an idea from the British constitutional tradition: "implied repeal."

It's useful because it helps us to understand that Article I, & much else of the US Constitution, has been implicitly repealed.

Whoops!
"Kamala will draft your sons to fight in Ukraine" was all over the place in 2024. I don't think the Dems appreciated how much the Liz Cheney appearances fed into that; Stephen Miller claimed Cheney would be her defense secretary and start WWIII.

“Russian and Chinese spies must show identification before entry”
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

always so jarring to see a us politician capable of speaking with any degree of moral clarity
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.
