I want to believe GGreenwald, that Trump actually wants to see these wars end. But as has become apparent, Trump will only enact “policy” when it directly benefits himself or his inner circle. Agreed about Biden - he had a weird blind spot. Like a lot of old Dems.

As a woman I endorse this message. Time to bring that word back, as needed.

I don’t agree. Neither do the punters on polymarket.

He’s going to blink on Garcia. He can’t fuck with SCOTUS, not after that Wilkinson decision today.

Either you didn’t actually read my response or you lack reading comprehension. I said nothing about use of force. Obviously the judiciary has no enforcement arm. What I said is that Trump is going to read the room. And he will blink on this one. He needs SCOTUS too much to fuck with them.

His uncanny spidey sense to read the room? Defying SCOTUS and FedSoc judges like Wilkinson is NOT a hill Trump should be willing to die on. This is not really about some gangbanger, you do get that right?

I don’t think non-lawyers can appreciate how remarkable it is that the leading conservative intellectual voices of the 90s and 2000s - Judge Luttig, Judge Wilkinson, Walter Olson, Ben Ginsburg, etc. - are being this outspoken against a Republican president’s abuses. Huge kudos to all of them.

Once your eyes are opened to the evil our govt has been capable of (Jfc look at Vietnam!) it’s hard to unsee. Painful, yet liberating in a way.

This is quite true. Most people can’t (or won’t ) comprehend this, because prior administrations conducted this shit in secret, and weren’t gleefully using it as a photo op. Do we know how many brown people were disappeared during peak GWOT? The truth is sometimes very painful.

The steel man here is that these rules were put into place under Bush and Obama, and that libertarians were squawking then. (All true). There’s a lesson here. Maybe listen to Ron Paul whenever he speaks? 🤷🏻♀️

Actually that’s not entirely true. Left unsaid here is that trading is about the only zero-sum game left. So the guys that lost out in the other side of these trades were likely other hedge funds or speculators. It’s only a loss to you if you choose to (or have to) liquidate your stock holdings.

The answer to that will be discussed and analyzed for decades I suspect. The futility of trying to distill such complexities to fit within a 300 character text box is a big part of the answer though.

Martial law requires a complicit military. Part of me thinks the deep security state finishes the job someone botched in Butler before we get another Kent state. Allowing a civil war in the US just wouldn’t be good for business.

Gosh not that we have any enemies …or have ever meddled in anyone else’s civil war ….🙄. Yes terrible idea and I hope some cooler heads prevail.

Well imo martial law would be the final step to all-out civil war. And I don’t know what that looks like - active duty vs national guard (who technically are under the control of the state governors) vs local LEO? Sure the idea is to subdue the “radical left” but who is that exactly?
