Over on The Hellsite, JD Vance has now functionally called for an end to due process for migrants. His argument is riddled with deceptions, bad faith, and embarrassingly awful logic. I think it needs a real response, so here's what I put up over there.

First, his 20 million number is fiction. 1/

Pretty sure @jaymckenzie.bsky.social , @brainnotonyet.bsky.social , and I discussed this very idea on a recent episode of Did Nothing Wrong Live, so it's really good to see it being taken up at the high level.

Democrats need to show what they would do if they returned to power. A new program resembling the U.K.'s Shadow Cabinet system may help.

Calling Trump and Netanyahu gangsters or mobsters is an insult to gangsters and mobsters

don’t worry, all we need to win is the kind of warrior mentality displayed by the armed forces of the russian federation before their successful invasion of ukraine
So the Fort Belvoir campus is not all of the CGSC (which is actually centered in Leavenworth) but my understanding is it is a big part of it & if similar cuts are coming for all PME (professional military education), the results will be very bad for both military readiness & military history.

So I know a lot of people get kind of perturbed when those of us on the academic and research side point out that the Republicans and the techno fascist goal is to purposely crash the market so their friends in venture capital can pick the bones of American government.

Yes, Trump and Co. will try to illegally keep power beyond 2028. We know this because we already saw them try in 2020-21.

No, it’s not legal or Constitutional. Anyone even hinting otherwise is wrong.

Regardless, we have more pressing problems than 2029.

There, everything relevant said. Move on.
The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king.

That’s it.

Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.
President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”

Despite admitting to having illegally sent a guy to El Salvador by mistake, and even though the U.S. is paying El Salvador to indefinitely imprison him, the DOJ is arguing that, well, nothing to do, it's not in our hands anymore. The general tone of their response is "welp, sucks to be him."

Trump hates American democracy. He hates open societies. He’s jealous of Xi and Putin. He wants America to be like Russia and he’s doing everything he can to make it so.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
