Trump's Second Term

The Secretary of Homeland Security, who is in charge of the US Coast Guard, the US Secret Service, ICE, TSA, FEMA and CBP does NOT know what Habeus Corpus is. Why aren't Republicans in an uproar over this?

Because they support Trump's dictatorship. They want to abolish HC. They know Noem knows what HC is and support her trolling the American People about it.

We are in deep ◊◊◊◊ if we face a major terror attack. Trump will use it to turn us into Germany 1934.

I have heard (unsubstantiated but it sounds about right) that the overall goal here is to privatize weather services. Free and accurate weather service is a thorn in the side of those who view the ideal society as one in which we must subscribe to everything. Cripple the national weather service, and airlines and the like will have to find a better source for their forecasts before too many planes crash.

MAGA will say "just watch the Fox News weather." Not knowing Fox gets all the wether data from federal sources.
 
Kristi not a great lawyer.

Kristi Noem’s ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ fantasy of suspending habeas corpus exposes GOP’s disregard for rule of law as Amy Coney Barrett and every sober legal mind mock her while Donald’s authoritarian wet dream flops like a fart in church. https://www.rawstory.com/kristi-noem-daniel-dale/

She did go to college. In political science.
 
Trump: "Think of it -- you're shooting bullets out of the air. I'm also pleased to report that the one big beautiful bill will include $25 billion for the golden dome to help construction get underway. That's the initial sort of down-posit. We're talking about $175 billion total cost of this when it's completed."

BLITZER: New CNN reporting reveals that the Trump administration actually initiated asking Qatar for a plane. Your reaction?

REP. CARLOS GIMENEZ: No, I think the president wanted to buy a plane from Qatar, and I think that what came back is they would donate it. Thank you to Qatar.

What's the betting that Trump believes this involves a literal, physical dome actually made of gold?

The fact that we can't really know the answer to this question worries me. Seems too weird even for Dump, but then again, it's the same manchild who believes F-35s are literally invisible.

"Your Orange Highness, above us right about now is a squadron of F-35s! Would you believe they're not only invisible, but their engines are also really, really quiet? We wanted to demonstrate how they can just sneak past defenses entirely undetected! Oh, and if you look out on the river, maybe if you look into the water really, really closely you might just see one of the passing u-boats! Oh, and I just received word that our Delta Force and Navy SEALs are going to be sneaking through here right about now, if you see one you'll win an ice cream cone!"

This reminds me of something.

HASSAN: If the president tries to suspend habeas corpus and a federal court reverses the president's order, will you comply with the court order and uphold habeas corpus, or will you follow the president's directive?
NOEM: We are following all federal court orders
H: That is not true for anybody who reads the news
NOEM: I wouldn't rely on the news for your facts

Just wait until they start ranting about the MAGA Carta.

Because virtue signalling about caring about principles that they really don't is central to right wing efforts. That virtue signalling is such normal behavior for them is likely the main reason why so many of them are so easily convinced that left wingers are normally virtue signalling, for that matter.
 
As of the close of the day on May 20, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -685.

255. Trump: “We’re not doing any cutting of anything meaningful. The only thing we’re cutting is waste, fraud, and abuse. With Medicaid -- waste, fraud, and abuse. There’s tremendous waste, fraud, and abuse. We have illegal aliens that are multiple killers with multiple murder records getting Medicaid.”

256. HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.
HASSAN: That’s incorrect.

257. HASSAN: If the president tries to suspend habeas corpus and a federal court reverses the president’s order, will you comply with the court order and uphold habeas corpus, or will you follow the president’s directive?
NOEM: We are following all federal court orders.
H: That is not true for anybody who reads the news.
NOEM: I wouldn’t rely on the news for your facts.
