In more than a few parts of the USA, I feel like I've walked into a psych ward run by Rupert Murdoch.

DOGE folks are unserious rookies. They are revealing their inexperience to those who have actually worked in large, complex data environments (self included). You will find weird stuff. You need to ask someone about it. 99.9% of the time there is a legacy reason for it. You don't scream EUREKA!

If it turns out Abrego Garcia is dead, who gets charged with his death? What happens?

This regime can certainly bite, but remember that so far they have mostly been characterized by loud, obnoxious barking. They are not a competent group of people. They don't like to work hard.

We have not seen anything yet. Trump will TRY to destroy America more thoroughly than many might expect. Why? Because Putin expects him to, he wants to be a sadiatic dictator, and he simply loves the attention. It will "look good on TV". A cartoonist man finger painting on the Constitution.

So, MAGA doesn't like Musk either. But that doesn't diminish their loyalty to Trump. How is that possible? Cult. Weak mindedness. I just can't today. I need to go stare at a tree for a while.

Thankfully my father died already so he wouldn't have to see what is happening to America. It would have crushed his soul.

America's future is being held hostage in the bank accounts of billionaires.

Maybe the internet is the bit of technology that destroys the world. Nukes may still be the tool, but the internet will have made people stupid and crazy enough to use them. The 'Web'. Perfect name. We are trapped and on a course for destruction. I'm having a 'down day', obviously. I'll be back up.

The worst people in politics have figured out that voters have become sufficiently distracted and stupid over the past two decades that what they do from one day to the next doesn't matter. They are like a corrupt, unsupervised nurse in an Alzheimer's ward.

So if they can't get people back that they denied due process, does that mean those people were kidnapped? What is the legal consequence, assuming there were judges that wanted to pursue sanctions?

The good news for Trump is that he is only tasked with destroying America, not building or innovating anything. He is really good at wrecking stuff, so he won't fail at his assigned task.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is not coming back from El Salvador. El Salvador only has to point out he is not a US citizen and say 'no'. They will be in defiance of the Supreme Court, not their buddy Trump. The Supreme Court seems to suspect this too.

Agree with Brooks here. We are getting weak in the head. I'm not throwing stones. I read fewer books than I used to, and fewer than I would if YouTube didn't exist. Almost all of us are. Our whole culture is going short-form. This trend is especially damaging to the mental acuity of our youth.

Information sometimes gets in the way of the point you think you were going to make. None of these MAGA freaks is worth a dented nickle.

Say what you want about elected Dems, and I got my issues, but damn if they don't sound more informed and engaged than any GOP politician. They may be too timid, but they come across as way more competent too.

All these executive orders that are not in furthance of congressional initiatives are bogus. He seems to make them so he can feel like a King making edicts. So long as the courts continue to swat them down he is just making noise and being an a-whole. Getting attention. What a weirdo.

Why do people stick with this absurd nutcase? Couldn't Trump have just bought 100 acres in the sticks and made a nice compound for him and his MAGA cult to fawn over him? Like a normal cult leader. Why do I have to live in their weird world just because I'm a US citizen?

Anne Applebaum knows the topic well. Worth the read.

There are people in this country who can reliably do right by others. They will sacrifice to male the world a better place. They will turn away from the bribes. They can be trusted. But there are not enough of them in politics. And none of them are in the GOP.

It must be a strange world for those 78 million voters who can't identify a villain, the antagonist in a story. Is Darth Vader a misunderstood genius? Voldamort full of ambition?

Both things can also be true. But yes. Every society is going to have an amazingly awful person. You don't elevate that person as your leader.

This. Stop calling it 'incompetence' or 'ignorance'. America is being deliberately squeezed and scammed. Like always, he will profit at the expense of others.

Trump Playing Darts With a News Analyst and a Policy Wonk. THREE PEOPLE PLAYING DARTS Policy Wonk: "Hey Trump, you missed the board entirely. You are terrible at this game! Let me show you how it's done." Trump: "You do that. By the way, while you were yapping, I stole your watch and wallet." 1/2
