So, let's just check in on the key accomplishments of the Trump admin after....a mere 11 weeks:

1) Completely destroyed America's relationship with every last one of its allies.  We will never be a trusted ally again, with anyone.  Including countries like fucking Canada and the UK.  And let's not overlook the very real chance that we'll be in a shooting war with one of our allies before his term is up.

2) Destroyed America's defense industry's ability to sell to allies (see point 1 above).

3) Declared economic nuclear war on.....literally the entire fucking planet.  The whole planet.  All of it.  The US is their declared economic entity in an unprovoked and insane trade war.  Thus also destroying the US's status as a trusted trading partner -- every country with any brain is already working itself free from economic entanglement with the US.

4) Cratered the entire global economy (after all, we do make up 25% of the global GDP)...see point 3 above.  Recession is now inevitable.  His idiocy has erased, literally, tens of trillions of dollars in value/wealth world-wide.  An actual shooting war would have a hard time inflicting that much damage.

5) Eliminated any strategic/preventative health and disease work in the US.   We are already seeing outbreaks of viral diseases, and the only authorized response of the admin is...take cod liver oil and vitamins and shit.  Vaccines are out.  There is a good chance that in the coming years, certain vaccines will be outright banned in the US.

6) Literally erasing history with respect to any person who isn't a white male.  Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Tuskeegee airmen, Rosa Parks....erase them, because the fact that they are products of fighting against a racist system makes fragile white people feel bad.

7) Dispensing with the rule of law altogether, starting with its application to non-white people.  If you're a criminal, you can be deported without any due process, and all that takes is for the admin to declare that you're a criminal.  Wait, why didn't I get any due process to contest that finding?  Duh, because you're a criminal!  Nevermind the excercises of executive authority that intrude on the power of Congress, and are flatly illegal.  Nothing matters anymore, this admin is completely unrestrained by any laws.

8- Ramping up demonization of the "other." Read the multiple incoming, and counting, reports of people flat-out telling more brown people (actual Americans, by the way) to GTFO.  We will see more Wal-Mart-style attacks too. It's just a matter of time.

9) Draconian approaches to immigrants, INCLUDING otherwise law-abiding immigrants who are performing an actual economic function here.  Good luck building anything in the next year.  Who's gonna build it?  And with building supplies costing an extra 25% on top of it?  Enjoy paying more for all of your food.

Shit, I could go on and on and on.  But I don't think that any sane person can question the conclusion that this is the most disastrous first 3 months of a presidential administration in US history.  

But remember....IT IS GOING TO GET WORSE.

And when the trump administration does absolutely nothing...then what?

You order a senior immigration official responsible for the action to appear in court for a "show cause" hearing, and you jail them until they comply.

Nobody.

Thus my point.  You have no idea how bad this is going to get.  It's all on the table.  The worst-worst case scenarios?  All on the table.  All the way up to unprovoked use of nuclear weapons.

A fucking insane person has the keys to....everything.  And anyone who has the power to stop him has chosen, instead, to DEPEND on him for power.  Perhaps you missed my newsletter "HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN I PREDICTED AND IT'S GOING TO GET EVEN WORSE."

No. The goal isn't to change Trump's mind. That's not possible. 

I would settle for scaring the shit out of him so bad he flees the country like the coward he is. No mind changing required.

That's the intention; to start a problem so that Trump can escalate.  Plus, he will have the military on hand to do whatever he feels necessary.

Just like Stephanopolous (sp?) dropped the ball yesterday when Bessent or Lutnick or some other dipshit was telling him that prices won't rise from tariffs because demand will fall. Ask him the follow up - what happens to jobs and GDP if demand falls, you dumb motherfucker?

As Clausewitz observed, war is the ultimate expression of politics.  

It's vital that senior military leadership consider the role of the military in government and politics and its relationship to the civil government and leadership.

The notion that our officer corps should be axe-murderers is stupid as fuck.  That's what private soldiers are for.

CNN — 

An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the Trump administration.

The National Parks Service webpage for the “Underground Railroad” used to lead with a quote from Tubman, the railroad’s most famous “conductor”, a comparison on the Wayback Machine between the webpage on January 21 and March 19 shows. Both the quote and an image of Tubman have since been removed, along with several references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

The Washington Post first reported on the changes. The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.” Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery.

His cowardly ass fled to the bunker when BLM protests started up. Take it to 11 and he’ll be begging daddy Putin to send an Ilyushin to pick him up.

Roberts is the Justice assigned to the 4th Circuit, so I believe he'll get the first whack at the motion to stay and will somewhat control the narrative if he refers it to the court as a whole.

It's good that this is coming up first through the 4th Circuit.  There was an argument that Boasberg in DC lacked jurisdiction because the jurisdiction for a habeas corpus petition is that of the trial court or in the absence of one, where the defendant was apprehended.  So this would seem to take away that argument, which got some traction from Ruckus and Guido.

Seriously.  He desperately needs a distraction.  Starting a war is exactly what a simple-minded abject moron would do.

Chief Justice John Roberts pauses order for Trump administration to return man mistakenly deported to El Salvador prison.

 

At this point, I can pretty much write every SCOTUS opinion going forward: "If the King does it, it is by definition legal.  All hail King Trump."

If y'all had any doubt left, it's over, it's done.  We are in a full-on autocracy.  No half-measures, no "gosh, parts of it LOOK a little authoritarian."  We're there.  We've crossed the finish line.

Didn't say how he'd rule, just that it wouldn't go to Ruckus or Guido, initially.  Slim as the hope may be, Roberts offers some overt those two.

The jurisdictional issue is a copout on the bigger issue, whether the executive can exempt itself from judicial review by encanting "foreign relations" or "national security" for what is clearly either an immigration (Article I/Congress) or judicial (Article III/Courts) issue.
