Hey, his body has to give out sometime. You ask, “Why now?” I ask, “Why NOT now?”

Vought is arrogant enough to think his Christian views should guide society as a whole. He thinks of himself as one of the few with “the moral clarity of a dissident.” Without people like him, he believes, the world’s fall into evil will continue unabated. americanreformer.org/2021/11/the-...

Apparently it’s what happens when someone has a lot of supporters who are easily offended even when that someone is mean, unhinged and amoral. I’m guessing.

IANAL, but when I first saw the story I thought, is this some kind of international court I’ve never heard of? Nope, it’s an American court I’d never heard of.

Wait a second. I commented that people often get wrong the thing about yelling fire in a crowded theater. You asked me to explain. Several people have already asked *you* to explain *your* claim, yet you continue down the same path of wrongness. It's on you to figure it out.

I listened to the first 15 minutes and forgive me if I don’t hang on every word from Tapper and Thompson. We knew Biden appeared old and frail, but to me they’re implying he was suffering from advanced dementia because they’re trying really hard to sell their book. No thanks.

But didn’t Rubio suggest she and others might be “causing a ruckus?” Surely the judge isn’t overlooking the long history of case law on asthmatic grad students who cause ruckuses.

He does that, and after the review he stalks the official as he vents his piss-offed-ness. Is he so unable to control himself that they’ve decided to let the second part go?

I think she’s saying that since the judge is apparently assigned to a criminal court, her cases involve victims of criminals. It’s a weird way to say it but I don’t think she was calling the judge (or the bench) a criminal.

In today’s ruling the appellate court found it necessary to point out that affording due process to Abrego Garcia isn’t dependent on whether he’s a gang member. So I guess the court couldn’t communicate, either?
JimBonbright (@3rdandking.bsky.social) reply parent
The two words have distinct meanings, and in a court ruling the differences are important. It’s not like sending a text message to a friend.
JimBonbright (@3rdandking.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s obvious he wants people in the U.S. to see Abrego Garcia in a “normal” setting. A photo of him in whatever conditions he’s actually in would damage the game he and Trump are playing
JimBonbright (@3rdandking.bsky.social) reply parent
FFS, all she did was politely avoid playing Hannity’s pathetically insincere game. He didn’t expect that a woman could stand her ground and he ended up looking like the clown that he is.

Masha Gessen wrote a thoughtful article about this in the New Yorker in 2019. She noted, essentially, that we tend to mythologize awful historical events such as the Holocaust to the point that comparisons of those events to our own daily lives can’t be right. But they can be.

They seem confused. Abrego Garcia doesn’t have to be father of the year to be entitled to due process. That’s for everyone.

I think we know what will happen, for Roberts has gift-wrapped it in the unnecessary phrasing about deference to the executive on foreign policy. The WH is hanging on that, and Roberts will say, “Yeah, that’s your call.” I hope I’m wrong.

Plus, the only reason we had a peaceful transfer of power after 2024 was that the guy who refused to concede after 2020 won. Who knows where we’d be right now if he’d lost again.
