Donald Trump is a feebleminded, frail old bigot with no redeeming qualities, who is unsuited for any office, let alone the presidency. I am superior to him in every respect, as is every person I’ve ever met. Anyone who treats him as a model of virility or statesmanship ought to be laughed at.

If Garcia's guilty of something then the Trump admin should be salivating at the opportunity to prove Democrats were worried about the rights of a criminal.
Instead, they're on attempt 9,820 to gin up a reason to avoid any public court presentation on his "crimes" and instead just disappear him.

If DOJ has a strong criminal case against Abrego Garcia, they should welcome the chance to prove his guilt at trial. This offer of guilty plea or Uganda is coercive.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.
Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.

This is why every political scientist you know has been in a state of panic for the past week. This isn't about policy disagreement, it's about the Constitution being destroyed before our very eyes.
My depressing thought for the day: it seems increasingly inevitable that quite soon, Trump decides to simply disregard a court finding that some of his actions are illegal or unconstitutional. Impeachment is attempted & fails thanks to loyal Republicans. At which point there are no good options.
