And Musk would either suffer a tragic helicopter accident or be declared guilty of corruption and his assets confiscated. Maybe both.

How can there be any relationship with God distinct from your relationship with people? I reject the entire premise of "vertical faith." Its not a thing.

I don't think any legitimate news organization should quote, or cover, what Trump or his propaganda machine says. There is plenty of news on what they are doing.

1000% the dangerousness, the depravity, of losing a free media that can report the truth without fear or favor. Having said that, someone tell me how resigning is the best option. Is it not best to refuse the depraved orders from above and report them? Force them to fire you?

“And the ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or the light of gratitude.
So what do I sacrifice?

“What is MY sacrifice? …
I’m condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else’s future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I’ll never see. ”

Respectfully, I don't fully understand the nature of any risk to Von Hollen.

How are you (Van Hollen) not explaining more, answering important questions about CECOT conditions, why is he not dressed like an inmate, why are you not just bringing him home?

Additional important context: Trump started talking about being abused by trading partners, and using tariffs to fix that, in the 80s just after returning from Moscow and meeting with the KGB.
Soviet orthodoxy at the time was that imbalanced trade was bad for the country.

This has made me think -- is there any way the judge can make the administration testify under oath about their assertions that Garcia is a terrorist, a gang member, etc?

Exactly what Seth is saying here. We lose our country UNLESS the courts, including SCOTUS, rule civil rights violations that continue after courts rule such are never considered official acts and full civil and criminal liability attaches for everyone involved including POTUS.

I'm not a lawyer, so this could be foolish: It seems Xinis is about this the wrong way. If the courts would hold that all admin officials, including POTUS, are subject to civil and criminal liability for violating civil rights previously recognized by the courts then Kilmar would be back in hours.

Losing patience now? Courts are losing this constitutional showdown.
Courts need to find, and SCOTUS needs to support, that their is no immunity either civilly or criminally for ignoring courts related to civil rights violations and that such liability extends to POTUS if proven that he knew.

I'm assuming the alarmed state officials are the ones forming the non-profit election integrity agency.
Is the only alternative to do nothing?

Yet, "Right track" is through the roof? I don't have faith in public opinion to accept the notion that they were wrong. Does further economic pain mean more scapegoating?

People vote the same way they choose cars, clothes and hairstyles. They choose the brand they want to be seen supporting/driving. It is a very socially driven decision.

Where can we find the journalism behind this so we can spread it wider?

That is what I was thinking. I assume US military has a contractual right to fly in and out. I'm doing a lot of assuming here. I don't know diddly.

I guess I assume that your view, which I share, would be a consensus throughout America and the Congress would finally act in American interest and impeach. I can't believe Congress puts up with the pre-war language we are seeing now.

I like this idea, but does Greenland have ability to deny clearance for US military landings at the US military base? I assume Greenland can inform the party to stay inside the wire.
btw .. provoking Trump into an over-reaction is something I would not mind.

This is a perfect example of the sickness in our Journalism. Click bait headlines, rather than headlines that convey the gist of the story. Responsible reader-serving journalism would have the name of the "retail giant" in the headline.

One could make a strong argument FIFA does care. That they prefer host countries that are willing to violate human rights to deliver their money without messy protests and without a free press with it's "fake news" about FIFA corruption.

May I suggest a FOIA request for all records on tariff exemptions granted by the President?
comment in response to
post
Yup. So, is there any transparency into purchasers of Trumpcoin or DJT stock?
comment in response to
post
Of course he does. The President has authority to grant exemptions to tariffs. The entire business community will have to come to him, offerings in hand. That is the whole purpose with his tariffs.
Has the NYT filed a FOIA request for all exemptions? Do so every week.

Improper payments do not equal fraud. Many improper payments are due to SSA mistakes.
