Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Exactly!
There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.
They are lawless bestial scum.

Worth remembering: Read a Book.
Your education cannot be social media. If you're not reading, you're not learning. Podcasts can be educational when they have scholars, authors, etc who actually have expertise on a topic. Reading is essential. When Kendrick said "turn the TV off" it was more than a metaphor.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

Nah, a real human being would do that. Someone who is just normal.
A real president would not declare he will “permanently pause migration from all third world countries” after the heinous action of one person. He’d be capable of recognizing entire populations are not responsible for the actions of one troubled individual—and not act in a reactionary, racist way.

Yes, this would be nice. It also would be nice for the Democrats to commit to any kind of investigation of any of the numerous crimes and other illegal acts this administration has engaged in. One reason there’s been such lawlessness, imho, is because past wrongdoing (e.g., WMDs) was never charged.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

This is a great critique of news reporters and media pundits. But of con law professors? Not so much.
And it's how we got into this mess. The temperature is rising and you give professional deference to criminals. It's pathetic and it has normalized this behavior in the public discourse and the media.
It would be better if you didn't speak at all.
What you're doing is unethical. Rethink your life.
