And all with the tacit approval of SCOTUS … who still avoids considering the illegality and unconstitutionality of Trump—he personally gets a free pass each time.

All of this while Trump pardoned the J6 criminals, and has been pardoning and/or commuting sentences of other convicted criminals. But, in Trump's defense, all of these people are white (this is sarcasm).

This is pure corruption … but without the “dignity” of a smoke-filled back room.

Oh brave Trump! This Nobel Prize candidate kvells over bombing Iran (Better than Dresden!) … AND exporting “criminals” (but really, who knows? There’s only one certified felon here).

But his vast ferocity is sitting in a chair accepting (and demanding) praise and plodding on a golf course.

Dropping the MS13 cases, wow. Thx for the coverage of Bukele, this actually makes everything make more sense.

Abrego Garcia is just one case of the many that are happening in which our government will not accept being wrong. We should all be looking carefully because as in Nazi Germany, this is our government saying how they will be treating you and me when the time comes. Right now he is not just deporting legal immigrants, Trump is going after US citizens as well. Since we must have committed a crime, and he gets to define it, you can be sure that if Trump wants you gone there is no protection for you or anyone else. He may not have his concentration camps fully set up, and there will be more, but he is already laying the groundwork to get rid of people with US citizens. One thing that stripping us of our citizenship is, is taking away our voting rights. Think about the lengths Trump will go to do to do that. Here is a piece I wrote from my musings after my book club discussed this latest loss.

Trump will never concede that an error was made in a case that received so much public exposure - though in Abrego's case, they didn't really care who they grabbed. Now a manufactured prosecution, using felons with whom sweet deals have been cut, is the next step. Sadly, it is likely that Kilmar will never be allowed to return to his family and the life they had built prior to his detention. Just another casualty in the Trump war on immigrants.
