Isn’t that how it already is? When a Republican is president the president sets immigration policy. When a Democrat is president the judges of the 5th circuit do.

At least halfway yeah. This would take it to all the way.

The 5th Circuit ruling the nation potentially forever is not something I feel I signed up for in terms of my consent to be governed. Ditto the conservative majority on SCOTUS ignoring black letter law and making shit up.

When you say you don't want an appeals court in the South ruling the nation you are attacking the independence of the judiciary. If they aren't immune from criticism for making shit up we are no longer a nation of laws.

Honestly about to start rooting for a high mortality H5N1 variant with a respectable Ro.

And a stronger anti-vaxx movement than with covid. Hopefully, there's a lot of raw milk drinkers out there in that cohort as well.

This is the amazing thing to me. It’s not like Trump’s life work is unknown or mysterious and every single time without fail, it’s always, “well he wouldn’t do that to me”. Do these people just have huge egos themselves and they can’t imagine that someone would screw them over?
Trump's dog whistles make them ID as Trump.
"He is me and I am him"

After that, their Ego will not allow them to think negatively on Trump. Which is why the bad things will always happen to others.
"I wouldn't harm myself".

Humans really are not fit for Democracy. We are FAR too vulnerable to propaganda. Absurdly so. The protections needed to secure our freedoms from the human psyche are sorely lacking. Starting with education and conditioning. To teach critical thinking and to value the scientific method. To be able to see things for what they are. Instead of just listening to what we want to hear. Without a firm and strong grasp on these practices, we have failed our people and squandered our founders gift to us. America needs a strong and educated people to survive. In the 21st century we have neither.

Even the Fing Canadians are probably googling "how to do crash nuclear weapons program" right now.

I like how Trump is demanding 5% spending by Europe on defense. If they spent anything close to that they would tell us to take a hike because they wouldn't need us anymore. Alliances where you are the senior partner and receive huge deference politically....how do they work?

He thrives in chaos, where he cannot be held accountable.
