Calvinball government. Calvinball has only one rule: Trump bought the ball, so he sets the rules. There are no other rules, norms, precedents, traditions, law, whatever. (Wanna bet Trump was never chosen by other kids to play teams—unless he bought and brought the football.)

What a terrific piece, detailing and dissecting all three of last week's huge legal developments: Justice Jackson's breathtakingly nail-on-head Calvinball tagging of the Supreme Court majority's modus operandi in the Trump administration cases; the Bolton search warrants; and the Abrego Garcia saga.

Trump is going to get people killed, and maybe the thugs he's signed up as ICE agents deserve it.

` It might be helpful -- I really believe this -- if we consider this regime less a "presidency" and more a "hostile takeover" by a foreign power. I could offer a guess at who benefits most from the things that have been done since January 20th - but it does not take a genius to figure it out. `

Every single day, it gets more and more horrible. The only way out- is for the GOP in Congress to push back. And they won’t. And soon- they won’t be able to. Trump will not stop. This will not end.

Calvinball indeed!!! Trump has perfected it. The only rule is he makes the rules. One Trump rule: Heads I win. Tails you lose. “We’ll know which way I’m going, because I’m going to go one way or the other,” Trump told reporters Friday.

They made the decision to deport him with no due process. They knew they were wrong and instead of apologizing, they double down and spend thousands and thousands of dollars in personnel time and our taxpayer dollars to be as cruel and nasty as possible.

Parading military units around tourist sites in DC is enormously expensive abuse of power & does nothing to target violent criminal offenders. Abrego Garcia is being deported because DOJ fears it would not be able to convict him of a crime in a fair trial. newrepublic.com/article/1995...

Hitler's political opposition was handled through a combination of political suppression, terror and intimidation, and legal manipulation, which led to the establishment of a one-party state. Opposition groups were outlawed, and their members were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
