Dis Coarse Discourse 0

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Jamelle Bouie offers a theory as to who is most responsible for making dis coarse discourse so much coarser. He notes that

Trump has been the most high-profile purveyor of violent language toward his opponents since he stepped onto the national stage as a political contender in 2015.

Fantasies of violence against political enemies are, in fact, a defining feature of Trump’s political language.

Methinks he has a point. Follow the link for his evidence.

Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

Gene Nichol is fed up with originalist sin. Here’s a bit of his article about the recent Supreme Supremacist Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. A snippet:

Of course this is the pattern of Republican originalist forgetfulness. The UNC admissions case, the Shelby County case (also voting rights), the Sebelius case (Affordable Care Act), Citizens United – all turn their backs on history to favor Republican political preference. And, my word, Trump v United States – the absolute immunity decision – is the least tethered ruling to constitutional text, framers’ intention and historical practice in American judicial history. Alito’s originalism only limits the claims of his adversaries; never his own. It is stunning he can be sanctimonious about it.

The Art of the Con, Misdirection Play Dept. 0

The Trump maladministration now claims that, because a half-baked assassination attempt against Trump was thwarted at the Washington Hilton, Trump should therefore be permitted to proceed with further defiling the East Wing of the White House.

At Above the Law, Kathryn Rubino marvels at the misdirection play.

Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

In a much longer post about the many flaws in the Trump maladministration’s suit against the Southern Poverty Law Center, Above the Law’s Joe Patrice offers a theory as to the purpose of said performance artlessness:

It (the Trump maladministration–ed.) already got most of what it came for once the administration’s fellow traveler hate groups knew they had moles and the SPLC lost its ability to pay or even recruit future informants.

Uncle Sam:  We are not running concentration camps.  Lady Liberty:  By the dictionary definition we are.  Uncle Sam:  But . . . we're not committing mass murder.  Lady Liberty:  Dozens killed so far . . . isn't that a start?  (Uncle Sam simmers)  Uncle Sam:  No trains!  No ovens!  Show me a single oven.
