Ok. I just made an assumption that you were talking about what everyone else had been talking about. You changed the topic to invading Canada or Panama? I would be very, staggeringly surprised if Trump started a war on purpose. He's been consistently anti-war in his political career and on...

He isn't talking about going and fighting little Central American countries. The Enemy Aliens Act just lets him skip due process in dealing with people from countries we are at war with. He says we are at war with a gang. But we aren't. All he wants is to deport people without red tape.

I acknowledged the point you're making further down. I think the only thing Congress can do to prevent him from applying it without a war is to impeach him. Or they could censure him or pass a resolution or something. It is the courts' job to prevent him from misapplying the law. I am not...

To more closely deal with your question is a little hard. The judge ordered a plane en route to turn around and I heard that it didn't turn it around. Courts aren't good at stopping crimes in progess. But that judge is still going to have a hearing concerning this. I don't know what penalty...

I know some people who wear red hats and fly Trump flags at their house. There are a couple trucks in my city that fly huge Trump flags on the bed of their pickup. Some of these people are totally all in on the man Trump. There are a handful of Congress members that may fall in that category...

I can't always tell when people are joking and being facetious. Congress will not just go along with declaring war for the first time since 1942. On Venezuela? So they can deport some guys? They're going to let Trump have his court battle.

Invoking the Alien Enemies Act presupposes that Congress has already declared war on Venezuela, which they have not done. It doesn't declare war. It just gives him the ability to suspend normal procedures for people from Venezuela. If Congress has declared war on Venezuela, which they have...

People who think it is just some gimmick have forgotten that they elected a real estate developer to the White House. What was he thinking as soon as he saw Gaza in ruins? He was thinking he knew people with concrete trucks and cranes and welding torches and he could make that into a resort...

Trump said on the campaign trail that he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 on immigration and now he's done it. Federal judge put a stay on it immediately. If Trump was reading the Allspark last fall (?) he should have seen where I pointed out that Congress would have to declare war...

Yeah, a book burning just isn't the thing it used to be. In the digital age it would be very difficult to keep a book from getting anywhere. But I don't really think this movement is very interested in that anyway. Discrediting a book or idea with their supporters is fairly easy. I expect...

I wish rules about Congress didn't have to be passed by Congress. I would like to adopt an understanding that passing a spending bill was a critical requirement of their job. If it ever comes within 30 days of not having a budget, every member of Congress starts getting fined $10,000 a day and...

How do you make this sound like something that was important to do? The person who deleted links that were already on the website is an unnecessary federal employee.

That's classy. I like seeing something like that.

I don't want him doing even 1. But he was duly elected and has the authority to do 4 and sort of 5. The barrier between 5 and 6 is legal. The barriers before that are political. Every President has done 5 in the eyes of some of the people and the President has to be willing and able to pay...

It feels, at least on my corner of social media, like the Democrats might be trying to overplay a hand when they should be more focused. Trump is doing 6 Things: 1) Golfing 2) Pushing common Republican issues 3) Pushing more uncommon issues more than usual 4) Breaking norms 5) Betraying...

I don't know if that is meant to be "at" me. These things are tough. If there is a shutdown and people are feeling some pain, they want to know whose fault it is. It is ALWAYS because the parties disagree and think the other is being unreasonable, but what does the public think? When that...

The GOP does have the majority in the Senate, but that isn't what they need. They need 60 votes to pass this.

Senate Democrats are risking a shutdown protesting DOGE. Their heart is in the right place, but not their brains. I am guessing they will pass it in time and are just hitting the brakes so they can talk about it, but it does ring pretty true when Mike Johnson steps to the camera and says these...

This show isn't pulling its punches.
