Yellow journalism never died, it just transformed from print to Fox, OAN, Newsmax, etc.

Iraq has something to do with 9/11 and now has WMDs.

Gulf of Tonkin.

The Lusitania.

Endangered students on Grenada.

We're very good at this shit. Or very gullible.

No one in the judicial thinks it is okay to disappear people to fucking el Salvador. 

Fucking. BULLSHIT.
The SCOTUS is a collaborator with the Regime in cementing its authoritarian powers which cannot be questioned or reversed. They have created a king, completely above the law, because they want it that way. It was not and is not an accident.

The Trump admin continues to purge the military of anyone that is insufficiently loyal to them:

While it's great to know that there are officers that know Trump, Vance and Hegseth are fucking morons, personally I'd prefer that they keep their heads down and retain their positions for as long as they can.  It feels like we're going to need them sooner or later.

She said what 99% of people think.

it's hard to hold your tongue when you experience that level of stupidity. That being said, she shouldn't have expressed any of the publicly;  I get why she was fired.

Two of the four (Shearman, Simpson) are Wall Street firms.  At this point, I think we can count on all of them to knuckle under, although I think that's a gross miscalculation on their part.

Kirkland kind of "goes both ways" politically, but of late seems to have been home to a lot of GOPers.  I doubt they would have been the subject of an EO.

Latham I don't really get at all.  There have been a few of the less political appointees come from Latham (Commissioner of Patents Iancu).

May be nothing but it seems they are moving to ban books at major retailers.

If this is even remotely true, this is a HUMONGOUS deal.  It is the very definition of censorship, using the only tool they have to execute it.

Seems like a great way to start a contrary political career.  She saw women being drummed out of the service, so may as well go out guns blazing, as it were.

These are law firms you should never do business with.  They will sell out their clients under political pressure.

Can we all just feel a little bit good about the fact that the Supreme Court didn't suck Trump's dick?

You mean other than the fact the executive branch now knows as soon as it gets its political enemies out of the country it can wash its hands of them?

Apparently “anti-semitism” is the new catch all cudgel they will ban hammer people with.   
 
 
 

So the same people who decided a legal immigrant was part of MS-13 because he wore a Chicago Bulls hoodie will now be deciding which social media posts constitute antisemitism and therefore worthy of going to El Salvador?

What’s next? Facial recognition to figure out who attends an anti-Trump rally?

2025: “due process” = “whatever Stephen miller says.”
It’s not any more complex than that.

Maybe Greg Abbott could also give the Greenlanders some private school* vouchers using Texas property taxes.


*private school must not engage in antisemitism, DEI, or acknowledge any ideological values that don’t align with white Christian nationalism

@TwiceHorn do you still disagree that the legal profession is in the midst of an ethical crisis? It certainly looks that way from the outside.

This is the kind of stuff that used to enrage me during his first term. But that was back when I thought the office of the President had some kind of dignity or something.

But that was a long ass time ago now. Might as well turn the White House into a crack house now for all I care.

Next step is for ICE to “accidentally” detain and deport an American citizen and see how SCOTUS responds. When it does nothing, it’s open season on all of Trump's political foes

fucking insecure, wanna-be dictator. at least everyone in the comments is just dragging him.

 

What I wouldn't give for some brave soul in the White House to stand by that paint-by-number and shout, A Sharpie, A Sharpie, my kingdom for a Sharpie! since Shakespeare truly understood power and those who seek it.

 

However it would be wasted upon the dolts currently residing there.

I couldn't exactly make out what he was saying.  "Am I the only one who is sick and tired of...." I lost him at that point.

I read about this last time around. He said he's tired of picking up his own trash because the high school has janitors for that.

Here's an old article: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/438178-dem-lawmaker-takes-aim-at-miller-re-emerged-video-of-high-school-speech/

so weird how the former president supposedly got shot in an assassination attempt and then we just never talked about it again.

Those cunts are having an ethical crisis.  Susman, Perkins Coie, and Covington are not having an ethical crisis.

The rest of us are just fine.  

I wouldn't call what Trump is doing an "ethical crisis," it's something else entirely.

Sawbonz gets the play. It hasn’t just been telegraphed…they have literally said they are going to run it.

People died though. If that hadn’t happened I’d be pretty convinced it was orchestrated.

The whole thing was just bizarre. Like hey, nice photo op you took there while standing him straight up in the spot where the bullets were hitting 10 seconds ago. No rush, get a good pic. Stand right there.

I have no trouble believing Republicans will kill their own, without a second thought, to obtain absolute power.

100% a staged event 

zero stories about the shooter 

zero interviews with his parents

Are you sure? You work in a profession with extremely high barriers to entry that  exists to prevent the rest of us from settling things with guns and hereditary blood feuds. We are  heading in that direction because, collectively, your profession comes down on unreturned phone calls and sloppy dressers but can’t seem to police itself against existential threats to the legal system. 
If that’s not a crisis I don’t know what is.

There were two events, the first one ended up with the shooter being killed while the second one (in Florida) the suspect (currently in custody) didn't actually discharge a weapon. There were a number of stories ongoing while officials were trying to determine if this was a person (the event in Pennsylvania) acting alone (apparently so). He was 20 years old and even though I'm rather jaded at times, I have a difficult time believing the GOP catfished the dude into this.

But just like other events in history, in the current state of the media it's not going to stick around unless there's something the pols can exploit or use as bait to rile up folks.
