Well Well Well
Whenever there's another weird thing that POTUS TACO does, we have to stop for a second to consider the possibility that it's meant to distract us from something else.
I can't say for sure that Katie Phang came up with it, but if Trump can't just blow this off, then maybe this is it.
Remember, we've sent USAGs to prison before. Finding enough leverage to get Bondi outa there might not be such a hard row to hoe.
I get the feeling that somebody like Pam Bondi fits with the Trump administration because she can't really hack it in a profession based on actual competition and contention, and so she's been forced to fail up her entire career.
Also, I've been wondering if the courts could help themselves enforce their rulings by coming down hard on Trump's lawyers when they bring the kind of ridiculous garbage they're always bringing before the judges.
Torpedo a few of these clowns, and maybe enough of the others will hesitate to lick Trump's boots the way they've been doing.

Progress
Trump made some noise about spitting on the courts. Guess what happened then.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in U.S. custody after being illegally deported and will now face criminal charges
The courts ordered the administration to facilitate his return after he was deported to El Salvador in violation of a court order.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran native whose deportation by the Trump administration was declared illegal by the Supreme Court and generated a national furor, is back in U.S. custody and will face federal human trafficking charges in Tennessee.
Abrego Garcia was secretly indicted by a federal grand jury in Nashville last month on two felony charges: transporting undocumented immigrants and conspiring with others to do so. The charges stem from a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee, when police found Abrego Garcia at the wheel and nine other men in an SUV, all of whom were Hispanic and lacked identification, according to the indictment.
The indictment was unsealed Friday after Trump administration officials acknowledged Abrego Garcia was in custody of U.S. authorities. Abrego Garcia’s return was first reported by ABC News.
Abrego Garcia’s return follows months of extraordinary brinkmanship between the Trump administration and federal courts, a Supreme Court rebuke, diplomatic intrigue and a domestic political crisis over the episode.
Abrego Garcia, who allegedly entered the U.S. illegally more than a decade ago, had been living in Maryland when the Trump administration deported him to El Salvador in March. The deportation violated a 2019 immigration-court order that barred the U.S. from sending him there because he was at risk of being targeted by a local gang.
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ordered the administration to “facilitate” his return. For months, the administration publicly resisted that order. At times, Trump and his top aides suggested Abrego Garcia would never return to the United States.
“There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said last month during a hearing before a Senate appropriations panel.

It's Not A Cat Fight
The Über-Corrupt Fascist Broligarch vs the Über-Corrupt Fascist Ego-Freak.
They're both looking for nothing more than the best ways to line their pockets with American taxpayer dollars so they can buy themselves more power.
There's no Good Guy / Bad Guy here, so maybe the rubes will take a lesson and see that idolizing any politician always ends up being a bad idea.
(not holding my breath on that one, but hey - ever hopeful, y'know?)
So let's look at it from the standpoint of someone who deals with this kind of childish bullshit all the livelong day.
Jon Stewart
He's come back a little. At least when he's in front of The Daily Show crowd, he's not the cynically Both-Sides prick that he became while he was away.
This is far-reaching and he breaks it down pretty well.
81 Years Ago
"...all experience has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable..."
-- The American Declaration Of Independence - Thomas Jefferson
In the face of threats and dangers that are meant to intimidate and conquer, the seemingly tiny, insignificant, individual people who decide to stand up and stand together have proven over and over that a certain invincibility is possible - it's just not something you get from yourself alone.
I'm just one guy - one voice - one vote. And besides, what's in it for me?
