Why did I do this? After watching for several months from 6000 miles away, I was offended by the fact that former federal prosecutors in Big Law weren't stepping forward to help. There was no shortage of defense attorneys for GITMO terrorists. But they stayed in their offices worried about how their corporate clients might react if they stepped forward to help the deplorables. It made me embarrassed for my former colleagues. And that made me mad. That's why.

You’re under the impression that the three prior orders were signed by other federal judges? You are dumber than your post suggested.
Replying to @shipwreckedcrew
“...for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders.” Are you complaining about the 4th judge who reached the same conclusion? MAGA gets dumber & more bloodthirsty by the day.

No one EVER said Trump was ideologically conservative. But what had that label gained conservatives in the past. Among a long list of policy changes made by Trump are numerous conservative policies previously promised but never delivered. He’s done other things that a more conservative President will likely undo. Thats fine.
At present, America does not have a conservative political party. The sooner conservatives recognize that, the sooner we may begin to change that.

First nominated by President Obama in 2015, but never received a Senate vote. Was a compromise nominee in 2019 for a Maryland Court that is almost 100% Dem appointees. She had been a prosecutor and a Magistrate - hired by the ultra liberal MD district judges. So let’s not suggest she is “Trump-aligned” merely by virtue of the fact that Dem Senators refused to allow any other nominee to be considered.
JUST IN: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Stephanie Gallagher) has held the Trump administration in contempt for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders. She's ordering the government to return him. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

It gets much better as the characters are developed - or lost.

I keep hearing good things about it. Maybe I should give it another shot. Two episodes into season one when the villains were supposed to be white supremacists I rolled my eyes and stopped watching. Perhaps I was too hasty.

20 years experience yet still said to the GJ words to the effect of “Trust us, this isn’t all the evidence we have against there defendants after grand jurors expressed some uncertainty. Spent 12 of her last 16 years working under US Attorneys appointed by Biden/Obama in the one-party City of Chicago. She deserved to be fired for incompetence.
Ending a nearly 20-year career as a federal prosecutor, Sheri Mecklenburg made clear to U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros "this is not a voluntary departure." She said she'd been "scapegoated" — and Boutros had done "incredible damage." From @Suntimes: chicago.suntimes.com/immigra…

It is always the fault of the “unseen hand.”
Angie Nixon: “They are actively defunding public education because they make more money off of our children being funneled into the school-to-prison pipeline because they’re in these for-profit prisons, they want them to be exploited and be free labor. It’s all about money, it’s a massive shakedown”

Not having a single redeeming character among the entire cast was sort of the point of it all.
Succession was the most loathsome, zero redeeming value TV show I have ever watched for more than 3 episodes, and I have a personal vendetta of revenge against everyone who told me to watch it and then assured me it would get better

“I can lie about anything because as a black woman being truthful is just one option and those who criticize my choice between lying and telling the truth are racists.” Got that?
Sunny Hostin suggests all her critics are racist and that "as a black woman in the United States" her "average" is "excellent." She admits she doesn't "participate" in any self-critical thought that would stop her from doing stupid things.

Not the war in Iran you idiot. It is the result of Ukraine attacks on Russian refineries. Russian diesel is used in Russia and sold to Europe. Because of refinery damage Russia is keeping more and exporting less. That squeezes world supply and drives up prices.
It now costs the truck drivers on average $1,200 to fill up a single tank because of the war in Iran. Mike Rogers said it's a win-win-win. Are you winning?

To make an omelette …
Trump mounted a successful hostile takeover of the GOP. He broke the party and redirected it to his own corrupt ends. The sycophant along for the anti American ride are and will always be big mad at those who didn't go along. Speak truth. Everything depends on it

Cornyn was losing either way.
It is now a real possibility that Republicans lose the Senate majority because Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton rather than John Cornyn in Texas. Remarkable.

Just mentally incapable of understanding the damage done by the courts to the structure of Govt when they gleefully try to block the implementation of policy changes by Executive based on political considerations.
NEW: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson launches another broadside at #SCOTUS over handling of emergency docket, warns it could become route to bypass lower courts, upending usual system. But she shies away from direct critique of Trump's emergency-docket wins politico.com/news/2026/09/25…

I'm writing on this now, but the fascinating point of the Third Country Removal decision from the First Circuit is that all the issues now relied upon to grant the injunction were all raised by Justice Sotomayor in her 20 page dissent, joined by only Justices Kagan and Jackson. That means six Justices opted to let the removals to third countries continue in spite of all the arguments which are now back again in the form of a permanent injunction. If six Justices were not supportive of the District Judge's views before, why does the First Circuit think there is any more support now?
Pending before the U.S. Supreme Court are two cases with preliminary orders that it stayed before the district court entered a permanent injunction that bypassed the stay. (1) Missouri First map; (2) third country deportations. Intrigued to see how the Supreme Court handles both!

For new business owners: If you open a sandwich shop, and you post pictures online, make some effort to have what you sell look something like the pictures you post. IMO -- here's the key to a sandwich: abundance. A sandwich you buy from a sandwich shop, if abundant, will command just about any reasonable cost. There is a sandwich shop where I live that has been around 40+ years. It makes sandwichs that are MASSIVE -- 12 inch version easily feeds two adults. It costs $24 -- but I know that when I order it. When it arrives it LOOKS like it should cost $24. What is this about? Went to a brand new place today in an unfamiliar area. But I know from online info it has only been open for a couple of months. Pictures posted online are very inviting. I could not have been more disappointed. Hot pastrami sandwich. I'm not expecting Katz's Deli, but what I got was a 6 inch sourdough roll with MAYBE six thin strips of pastrami each about 6 inches long. PUT IN A CONVECTION OVEN for 30 seconds to make it "Hot." One thin strip of cheese - Gouda -- that was about the size of a plastic wrapped cheese-like substance cut in half and laid across the length of the six inch bun. "Peppers and onions" on a hot pastrami sandwich were served .... cold and raw. $14 plus tip. I understand trying to pay costs with a profit margin on a "per sandwich" basis is tough. But you have to approach a new business with the mindset you are going to lose money for a period of time -- that loss is an "investment" to develop a clientele. Under-promise and over deliver. Doing the opposite at the start is sure death. You have to invest in your business to develop a loyal customer base. This place is going to survive on repeat customer/lunch crowd -- or not survive. I'll never go back. New owners -- be smart. Make your product attractive -- but not just in pictures.

A brand new country of 2.5 million has so much in common with a country of 330 million that is now the richest ever seen in the world. Apples to apples comparison. Hey @IfindRetards
Not only were the Founding Fathers in favor of free immigration, some of them (Jefferson, Hamilton, Washington) wanted to subsidize the travel of the "H-1Bs" of the time b/c the externalities were so positive. I'd oppose it on principle, but the economic case is stronger today.

... and previously determined to not be necessary by Supreme Court." You left that part out.
NEW: The Trump administration is asking SCOTUS to let it resume third-country deportations without the due process protections — like more than 24 hours notice and availability of fear-based challenges — ordered by lower courts. w/ @joshgerstein politico.com/news/2026/09/24…

Had to republish--no editing typos in the caption so needed a "Do Over". Newsom needs Harris out -- if she goes DSA-adjacent to his left, he's got no path to victory in the 2028 primaries. She knows that -- that's why she went to Michigan. She's running. Link in next panel.
