someone should make a new doomsday clock but it’s a list of each of the constitutional amendments Trump thinks don’t apply to him and his administration.

The principle at stake here is so fundamental it predates even Magna Carta in English law, and before that stretching all the way back to Rome, and has its similarly ancient equivalents in every legal system in the world, because it's the inherent bedrock foundation of what courts and laws are for.

meanwhile DOJ lawyers about about to nitpick what SCOTUS meant when they said they must “facilitate” this man’s return while he just suffers.

You’d think American companies might be more freaked out about the prospect of their green-card holding professional employees suddenly being deported with zero path for return

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission. Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

The simple explanation for all this insanity is that Trump and his friends are rigging the market to make themselves rich. They're putting the global economy on thin ice and tanking your 401k to do it, but someone with inside info is getting very, very rich from it.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

I'd say "and now we'll lurch on to the next crisis," but Trump's incompetence has already raised China's ire, likely Europe's too, and we're no doubt going to learn that you cannot go piss on someone's doormat and then expect to walk away as if nothing happened.

Markets are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome right now but at some point the real world will have to reckon with the fact that 10% universal tariffs plus 125% tariffs on China (and maybe the EU?) and sector tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber, and pharmaceuticals are still a huge problem

donald trump can put his finger down, lift it up, and make himself and his cronies a shit ton of money in the process. he's done it multiple times. congress leans back to watch it all unfold.

What’s incredible is that Trump is doing this based on fake constitutional authorities and made-up emergency powers but because US institutions are so pathetic about capitulating to him no one even thinks of bringing that up, even as he burns our country to the ground

i still don't understand why this, alone, hasn't been enough to get people in the streets of every moderate to major city over and over with members of congress taking turns holding vigil on the steps of the capitol 24 hours a day in front of all the news media.

A constitutional crisis won't go away because we don't acknowledge. Trump is impounding funds (unconstitutional) and then ignoring court orders.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.
