Trump Thread

Should someone tell Junior that there's a typo in the title of his new book? Guess they call him the dumbest son for a reason.

But on a more serious note, Trump's ICE is starting a pilot program to train civilians to arrest undocumented immigrants. Perhaps their uniforms should be brown?

I thought the tradition was to use whatever uniforms were left over, in bulk, from the last colonial deployment that was cancelled...

I've said this to Monty thousands of times, John Roberts cares! The Trump presidency has made him dig in on the independence of the court. Now Monty may say this is to preserve its power and prestige. I, more hopeful, say its a man robustly defending the common law.

If he's defending something so broad as "the common law" wouldn't he do less that preserves the prerogatives of the SCOTUS specifically and more to resist Republican efforts to undermine rule of law (that he himself has enabled)? Roberts cares about the movement. The thing is there's explanatory overlap in both our accounts, but I think the one I subscribe to explains his career more broadly.
