This is a complete travesty. If it is not rectified, it will be a stain on our national character forever.

Shameful. All the worse because Trump doesn’t give a crap about campus anti-semitism. He just wants universal submission.

Defying Congress has a check: the courts. Defying courts really has no check (esp. if DOJ is corrupt). That’s why defying courts feels more dire.

Trump’s art of the deal:

A famous behavioral science experiment: Researcher took a classroom of boys — similar in race, $, background and made them into 2 equally divided teams. That was all it took for the boys to viciously turn on half their classmates.

Civil contempt is a way to coerce compliance with court order which admin has already defied. Criminal contempt is punitive and involves jail and/or fines. But that requires US Marshals Service which is under control of DOJ. THAT’s what makes this a Constitutional crisis.

Never hated Vance more than when he was at Munich Security Conf. and said: “If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.”

Trump, the great dealmaker does it again. Which was more masterful—this chat with Putin, leaving JCPOA to force Iran into much better deal or meeting with Kim Jong-Un to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula?

Everything is genuinely bizarre. We are not in the world of politics—we are in the world of regime change.
