The Rule of Lawless 0

The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini comments on Kari Lake’s fawning unwavering support of Donald Trump. A snippet:

Like all of Trump’s sycophants, including U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and pretty much every Republican in Congress, Lake seems to believe that the new rule in America is that no one is above the law . . . except Trump.

The Rule of Lawless 0

The Arizona Republic’s E. J. Montini contrasts Donald Trump’s coddling of convicted rioters with his incarceration of innocent immigrants. A snippet:

Abrego Garcia has not been convicted of a crime. And, like the other deportees, he had no opportunity to defend himself in court.

That wasn’t the case for the 1,600 individuals charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Dump the Facts, Ma’am 0

Rebecca Watson reports on a recent study that indicates conservatives dislike, distrust, and disbelieve science. Here’s a bit from her article:

But this study showed that the Republican plan to politicize all of science has had even greater success than anyone thought, because conservatives don’t even trust the science that does conform to their worldview. In a survey of nearly 8,000 Americans, conservatives distrusted all 35 different scientific professions they were asked about, including fields like industrial chemistry, because now, after decades of propaganda, they believe that all of science is a “leftist hobby” and that universities are havens of leftwing bias.

Methinks the findings of this study shed some light on the Trump madladministration’s efforts to gut federal scientific research programs.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

At the Detroit Free Press, John Lindstrom hears a rhyme. Here’s a bit of the cadence:

. . . the Trump administration has resurrected one of the great instruments of tyranny: “lettres de cachet,” an order from the king, usually used to order someone’s imprisonment. Such “lettres” were among the many issues causing the French Revolution. They historically stemmed from the concept of “Rex solutas est a legibus,” or the “King is released from the law” and able to do whatsoever he ? or she ? chooses. You didn’t like someone, didn’t matter why, the king would issue an order for your arrest.

Clearly Trump is behaving as though he is above the law . . . .

Noem:  He certainly does.  And even worse, we have a picture of him in a Chicago Bulls cap!  Trump:  Well, there you go, he's a notorious MS-13 gang member for sure.  Noem:  Works for me.  But the Supreme Court has ordered us to

Once More into the Breach of Faith 0

At the Kansas City Star, Dean A. Deal comments on the current federal maldaministration’s sewership of approach to the responsibilities of office. A snippet; follow the link for the evidence.

Foreign affairs are conducted like television scripts; domestic policy is treated like a loyalty test; and the presidency, once a symbol of democratic stability, has become a revolving stage for provocation, grievance and ego. This is more than a political disagreement. It is a breach of faith.
