And now there’s been an addendum posted to the article I linked above-- Chief Justice Roberts has done trump’s bidding and blocked the court order requiring the trump admin to return Garcia.
Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday halted a lower court order that would’ve required the Trump administration to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States from El Salvador by midnight. Litigation will continue in the case, with further possible rulings to come in the future from Roberts or the full court in the matter.
Ever hear of the Free Concert at Altamont (1969)? The organizers decided to contract security to the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club for about $500 worth of beer.
Violence was the result. Scores were injured. At least one died. Property damage was ginormous. It was a disaster.
This is an example of the wrong solution to a legitimate problem.
Trump identified a few legitimate problems in the 2016, 2020, and 2024 campaigns, but he was the absolutely wrong man, with the absolutely wrong plan, to address those problems.
His latest remarks aboard Air Force One go further, falsely asserting that the plant is not only planned but already “under construction.” Trump also used clips of a himself announcing the make believe Honda plant during a video promotion his “Liberation Day” tariffs.
Honda has made no announcement of a new plant and there isn’t a big Honda plant or any Honda plant under construction in Indiana. The company operates an existing facility in Greensburg, Indiana, which has been producing vehicles—including the Honda Civic—since 2008
“Fun fact: If taxes didn’t work, then America wouldn’t have had an income tax for 164 years, originally implemented during the first Republican administration.”
Therefore, your friend is never allowed to complain about taxes.
(The point is that taxes and tariffs are both useful, but if either is out of control then the economy tanks.)
And who said the Right is anti-science? It’s like they’re doing a chemotherapy (where the goal is to kill cancer cells faster than healthy cells) experiment but only with economics:
The tariffs are making everyone poorer—especially Trump’s own base in farming, logistics, and export-heavy manufacturing. But they don’t care about that so much. The point is to make dissenters poorer first. The goal isn’t prosperity—it’s obedience.
This is the vision: take NIH scientists, coders, artists, researchers, and teachers and force them into low-wage jobs doing whatever robots can’t yet do. Not because it’s efficient. Not because the work isn’t valuable. But because they are who the far right considers dangerous—people who know how the system works—and might challenge it.
No, it’s not with cells. It’s with people. Your first grade teacher? Her. Your Little League coach? Him. The neighbors who helped you out when you couldn’t get to the hospital? Them.
The minute you let any asshole dehumanize people to an analogy about cells in a petri dish analogy, then you know you’ve found one of those mass murdering Steven Miller monsters who get off on watching their neighbors suffer, starve, and die while they rock in their rocker, waiving a Trump flags and counting their teeth.
Maybe that’s not Dasmoocher… but it’s one hell of a lot of useless fucks out there in America.
