Good God The incredible bad faith of JD Vance The extraordinary phoniness The self-righteous, aggrieved tone Even as he is the one twisting the knife in an ally's back The fake play-acting The pseudo-confidence that fails to mask his childish insecurity Just an absolute disgrace

Is the timing of Trump's tariff threat designed to chill Mexico's lawsuit challenging the U.S. gun industry? Maybe it's coincidence, but the optics are damning. Thoughts from my personal blog: propensity4selfsubversion.substack.com/p/with-rifle-a…

Trump's speech to Congress was an extraordinary tissue of lies. But it was the rare moments when he said the *truth* about his administration's policies that were actually the most damning. Thoughts from my blog: propensity4selfsubversion.substack.com/p/trumps-revol…

Trump now openly says that his goal in imposing tariffs is to destroy the Canadian economy, break their will to resist, & forcibly incorporate them into the US. Such is the madness of our times that this didn't even register as the biggest news of the day. nytimes.com/2025/03/11/us/…

"without due process rights, anybody — yes, that means you — could be swept up in a raid and dumped in some hellhole and then the government could say, 'Well, too late.' [...] What we are deciding now is if we still have a Constitution" — John Ganz unpopularfront.news/p/no-person-sh…

Doesn't ICE's policy of targeting people for body art violate the First Amendment?

These Alien Enemies Act deportations are quite possibly the most evil thing I've seen our government do in my lifetime. And the Supreme Court just annihilated the most practical and efficient way to stop them. Thoughts from my blog: propensity4selfsubversion.substack.com/p/the-supreme-…

The only living Christ I see this Easter morning is not in this administration's performative Christianity coupled with obscene brutality, but in the innocent people our government is confining without charge or trial in El Salvador. He is risen. propensity4selfsubversion.substack.com/p/miraculously…
