this shouldn't even be a legal issue bcz it was a con. During the campaign, Trump never spoke about such deportations. he said he was going to deport only unlawful criminal immigrants back to their countries. it is the Heritage's con job for their ethnic cleansing.

two issues. one is a defect that DOJ has been heavily relying on their norm for too long. the other is 40% of the nation praised the criminal conman, just like watching a Hollywood movie.

Enten unpacks how Trump has lost 27 points of net approval among white non-college voters over the last two years, and in fact now is "at the lowest of any previous Republican president at this point in his second term among white non-college voters"

The world might look very different right now if Judge Boasberg had been able to hold contempt proceedings in 2025 & the administration had been held accountable. Instead, emboldened by his success, Trump continues to treat the courts like a game to be played. joycevance.substack.com/p/consequenc...

Last Thursday, the White House, almost as soon as Judge Kelly entered his order forcing the administration to restore access to CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, began searching for play in the joints.

How clear is it that Trump's taxpayer funded ads are illegal? I explain why it is 10/10 clear. Senate in passing the law: Ban is designed to stop public funds used for "glorification" of an individual official. GAO: funds can not be used for "self-aggrandizement" nor partisan political purposes.

国務長官と言えばかつては実質政権No2で覇権維持、経済運営は有無を言わせぬベテランFRB議長と財務長官の専管事項というのが米国政治の基本フォーマットだったんだが、国務長官はキューバ担当で、外交は認知老人が趣味でやって覇権放棄、認知老人に命じられるままプーチンをG7に招待と言う体たらく。もう政権としては崩壊していると言って良い。早口でかすかなスペイン語なまり、かつては気のいい街のニーチャン風だったルビオの今は政権のカオスの象徴デス。

小ネタだが、ウェイスマンはBSkyにはあまり登場しないが元ロシアゲートの検察官。曰く、メディア3社のWH出入り禁止訴訟は以前同じく出入り禁止訴訟になったジム・アコスタと同じ判事で、言うまでもなくメディア側の勝ちになる、と。自分の気に入らないメディアを出入り禁止にするというのは、負けるの分っていての憲法(報道の自由)への挑戦という話であって、コレが低能MAGAに受けるという事デス。マチョ信奉というMAGAの屈折した心理を利用して騙すというのはトランプの詐欺師としての常套手段。そのためだけの出入り禁止。

フロリダ州知事候補のバイロン・ドナルドもあまりのトランプ不人気に耐えきれず自身のサイトからトランプ関連の記述を削除、と。他にもポツポツとトランプを見切る候補が出始めている。ま、フロリダとテキサスを失うと事実上共和党は解体と言っても良い。ま、ワシはそこまで楽観的ではないが、今のpollが正しければそれに近い状況になるだろう。ま、ジョンソン君も今や選挙に勝つとは言っていませんね。つまり、選挙で負けてから結果をひっくり返すことを考えていて、トランプもそれを宣言している。ルッティング先生の言う議会書記官のクビを挿げ替えて民主党当選者を議会承認リストから外す計画があるのは内部情報なので本当だろう。

これは面白くなった。5-6pt差をつけられていたパクストンが2pt差まで迫る、と。既に共和党は大量の資金を牙城であるテキサス上院選につぎ込んでいるんだが、当初の大手pollではタラリコの人気は落ちず、効果は薄いという評価だった。ところがこの共和党系のpollsterの数字はそれから1週間経たずしてわずか2pt差まで縮んだ、と。 んなワケねーだろ?なんだがテキサスなので何でもあり。なによりパクストンを無理やりエンドースしたトランプが、牙城で負けたとなると政権維持に響くほどメンツ丸潰れデス。ま、ドーせ大量に票を買っているだろうから本選でパクストン勝利というのはあるかも知れない。

PollingUSAのモデル。下院は民主が4議席追加して過去最高だった238-197を更新して242-193とほ49議席差。ここからは共和党の巨額の資金投下がどう影響するかだが、テキサスのパクストンのように有権者が見放した候補には効果が薄いことが既に判明している。残り1ヶ月なので投票日直前まで買える票は買って、最後は直前にイラン戦争終結や減税発表とかで釣る作戦だろう。かなりのMAGAがトランプの芸風に飽きていることはトランプ選対も理解しているだろうから、残った策はインチキだけデス。インチキと言えば共和党のお家芸なので侮ってはダメです。

One obvious problem here is that both sides are led by bullies who believe the only time anyone would ever make a concession is if they were weak. Therefore any overture or attempt at compromise is interpreted as proof they've got the other guys on the ropes and are close to claiming total victory.

通常の中間選挙ではレイバーデイ明けから11月初めの投票日までの期間は民主・共和の差が縮む時期だそうだが、今回は例外で差は広まるばかりで、この1週間で出たpoll数字はそれを明らかに示している。目立つのはWSJやCookと言った慎重派メディアでさえ大きく民主へシフトと認めている事だろう。簡単に言えば一に経済、二に戦争で、それに認知老人の芸風も飽きられての結果デス。それでもおそらく共和党支持の40%は変わらなくて、支持者が今回の選挙をパスするだけという展開になりそう。一部トランプ周辺の強硬派はまたぞろ戒厳令を言っているらしいが、昨年の今頃と違って、もはやそうした強硬策も時期を逸していて難しい。

本当に政治圧力がなかったは分からないが、ボンタはワシが昨日コメントしたのと同じ事を言ってますな。結局FCCの委員長はトランプが選んで好き勝手するという構造は変えられないので、単体の訴訟に勝ってもイタチごっこ。現実にはパラマウントの株主への膨大な補償金コストと報道の自由や映画産業の雇用のための訴訟リスクが見合わないということだろう。ま、「大統領には敬意をもって判決は下さなければならない」と言って独立行政機関トップのクビ切り権限をトランプに献上した最高裁ロバーツのおかげデス。要はパラマウントもCNN・MSNowも全て同じ話。田舎の秀才はアタマ悪い保守で、且つ単一行政理論カルトだったというオチです。
