If I were treating the federal workforce like worthless peons whose fates I hold in my hand, pretty sure I wouldn’t be using the word “bullets” in my communications with them at all.

No, I'm sorry, but speaking as someone who has defended Democrats until I'm blue in the face in the past, now is not the time for book tours or fun little social media gags. Everyone should be screaming themselves hoarse at any elected official within shouting distance.

I was feeling a way and made a t-shirt about it. You can get it (or stickers, or whatever) here, if you have similar feelings: www.teepublic.com/user/libertine (there’s also an edition with white text for printing on dark shirts)

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be legislators right now. We need them to be politicians. There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

FOLLOWUP: SECDEF Hegseth also firing the CNO, the USAF Vice-Chief, and somewhat unusually and ominously to do in the same breath, the senior JAGs of the Army, Navy, and USAF

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

I never imagined I would see Canadians turning on Gretzky. Trump really does ruin everything he touches.
