    One potential plus of the Trump administration is that its communication style inadvertently gets people to notice about institutional media what Chomsky has been discussing for decades.

    I wouldn’t want to live in a country where mastheads and public offices are on the same page.

    The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.

    The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.

    So…

    When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?

    He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn’t even realize that he’s crossed the line

      I’m remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

      Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.

          Even if the courts are all in, you need someone in law enforcement willing to act against him.

          Jack Smith is out of office.

            FYI, Federal Justices can hire special prosecutors & deputize citizens as federal marshals, they don’t actually need the DoJ to administer justice.

            The Presidental pardon is the only issue here, but kidnapping is also a state crime.

              They would have to declare him illegitimate and thus intelligible to grant pardon. Which he is under the 14th amendment.

              They would also need to ignore the supreme court, but if we ever get that far, it goes without saying.

                The president cannot pardon a state crime. Kidnapping is both a state and a federal crime. If convicted in state court, the president is powerless to pardon.

    Imagine official government account tweeting shit like edgy teenager. How can any country of the world take America seriously?

    Also they themselves admitted it was a mistake and now thry are furiously claiming he was achtually a drug warlord and he’s not coming back to USA. They aren’t fucking serious.

    I think this is going to hurt the White House in the long run. By smearing these people individually, they are highlighting the fact that they are actual humans with life stories, rather than a swarm invading the country.

      Implying that elections will have any meaning or impact next year

      Nothing will “hurt” them unless there are consequences for their actions.
