An Administration Slowly Sinking

“The MAGA crack-up has begun,” declares Michael Tomasky. I’m here for it.

The Ethnic Cleansing President

Project 2025’s plans on immigration may be driven by a desire to preserve the power of a shrinking white population. But Trump just reinforced his desire to make the U.S. more ethnically homogeneous by deporting anyone "not a net asset."

It’s not clear which of the denizens of the online fever swamps suffer from a severe lack of reading and listening comprehension and which simply know their mission is to lie anyway. Because lying is company policy.

Today give thanks that you have a soul.

The masterminds behind Bush-Cheney extraordinary rendition campaign never stood in the dock in the U.S. or The Netherlands for "outsourcing torture." I despair that those Shanghaiing undocumented immigrants off to African hell-hole prisons won’t either.

Tokyo Rose Garden won’t bat an eye, but the mother of her nephew is in ICE custody facing deportation.

The Abyss Stared Back
Republicans gazed long into the Trumpian abyss and the abyss glared back. The party succumbed to Trumpism because he stripped away its intellectual pretensions. Trumpism revealed the raw thirst for power underneath.

"4 out of 5 US troops surveyed understand the duty to disobey illegal orders"
... as do the six Democrats under MAGA fire and death threats for saying so.

Preverse Moral Arithmetic
The "he who smelt it, dealt it" asymmetry of MAGA bothsidesism is “not merely false but fantastical.” The junior partners in Trump's weaponized DOJ justify exacting revenge on his enemies with all the schoolyard authority of “He started it!”

Masked CBP agents, you keep threatening protesters with 18 USC 111. Have you seen "The Princess Bride"? I do not think it means what you think it means.

Take heart.

David Bier (of Cato) tweeted that CBP apparently instructed agents to threaten witnesses with arrest for recording arrests. Now it's blowing whistles and horns. "There are a number of nearly identical instances of this exact threat.” It continues in North Carolina.

Feting a Saudi butcher, suggesting Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi had earned dismemberment, and calling a female reporter “piggy” are only some of the items on Donald Trump’s lowlights reel from the last week.

A video from Charlotte shows Border Patrol agents pointing an assault rifle at a woman’s head before breaking her car window and arresting her and a passenger, both American citizens.

Do these unprofessionals get their training over Zoom or over the weekend?

Watch your backs in church (and while shopping). DHS reportedly has plans "to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season."

Amateur Hour
From Digby: "The U.S. Justice Department is falling apart at the seams. And with every day that passes it gets worse as they fire people for failing to show fealty to Donald Trump and the rest of the competent people get out while the getting’s good."

2.5% of CBP's 614 Chicago arrests had criminal histories presenting a “high public safety." Gregory Bovino declared "many" of the 81 arrested in Charlotte so far did too. Among the "worst of the worst," he posted pics of people with DUIs and a standing removal order.

The once and future god-emperor of Mar-a-Lago is a chocolate mess. Wag the dog, wag the pardon, investigate enemies, blow up a boat, invade another U.S. city. Could it be that the prospect of the Epstein files going public has Trump's troubled mind even more troubled?

Operation Anybody Else
Trump acts like a cat obsessively scraping the sides of the litter box to hide any signs of poop he’s already covered up. He is desperate not only to derail release of government-held Epstein files but to change the subject to anyone but him.

Trump’s people are usually pretty snappy about shouting, “Yes, sir! How high?” whenever he says jump. AG Pam Bondi was off her game on Friday. So let's tighten it up with a little friendly competition.
