I regret to inform you there’s a new post telling us we’re rubes who’ve missed the obvious & clear meaning of the Const’n for a century.

This is the type of post you make when your goal is to juice engagement from those who want nothing more than to be told their policy goals are const’l commands.

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year
I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.

No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.

I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

Sounds like #Trumpstein is an accomplice at the very least. Of course, the likelihood of him *just* being an accomplice, versus a full-on participant, is pretty slim.

"The C.I.A. conducted a drone strike on a port facility in Venezuela last week... a development that suggests an aggressive new phase of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against the Maduro government..."

Interesting aspect of this one: Trump had argued his decisions on the Guard were effectively unreviewable by the courts. Apparently, SCOTUS isn’t quite ready to put itself completely out of business.

A country that had begun to make progress in believing women is regressing. In this environment, it becomes more and more difficult for victims to come forward, which means that the people committing crimes against them are going to get away with it. Again.

Trump is deploying his DOJ in a defensive stance designed to protect him at all costs, while calling the files a Democratic hoax. But really, he could do the survivors a great service by sharing what he knows. joycevance.substack.com/p/he-looks-l...

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

4/This week, DOJ owes Congress an explanation of where it stands on compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and let's just say, they're not doing so well. Might Congress show some spine here?

Elite free speech discourse has culminated in state action to compel labor
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.
