The #DOJ in a filing asked #SCOTUS to lift DC-based US District Judge James #Boasberg's March 15 order calling for a temporary halt of the summary removals of the #Venezuelans while a legal challenge to #Trump’s invocation of the #AlienEnemiesAct to justify the #deportations plays out. The 18th century #law historically has been used only in wartime [& expressly states the #US must be at #war w/a foreign #nation for its use].

if you choose clowns then you get a circus.

The Most #Remarkable Part of the #Video of a #Bishop #Confronting the #Trump #Family.

Noting how he had told the #nation during his #swearingin that he had “felt the providential hand of a loving #God,” by virtue of his #surviving two #assassination #attempts, Budde invoked the #compassion and #mercy of God as she called on Trump “to have mercy upon the people in our country who are #scared now.”

The start of the NYT #endorsement article is pretty good though:

“It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as #president of the #UnitedStates than Donald #Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the #nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally #unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he MOST lacks.

🔴 The forging of countries

“The nobilities of the Habsburg-ruled kingdoms – of diverse ethnic and linguistic origins – had strong and well-developed conceptions of belonging to a common nation. So strong, in fact, that they resisted incorporation into the kind of centralised absolutist states characteristic of 18th-century Europe. The Habsburg Monarchy was nearly torn apart by the pressures of such policies pursued by Joseph II, who rescinded most of them on his deathbed in 1790.”

#DOD Ofcls said they wanted to respect the wishes of grieving family members who wanted #Trump there, but at the same time were wary of Trump’s record of #politicizing the #military. So they laid out ground rules they hoped would wall off #politics from the final resting place of those who paid the ultimate #sacrifice for their #nation.

Instead, they got sucked into exactly the kind of crisis they were hoping to avoid.

The #Con at the #Core of the #RepublicanParty.

The #conservativemovement’s total #abandonment of even the #appearance of #principles has been decades in the making.

Pick your #metaphor for the last eight years of #American #politics. #Sewer or #garbagetruck? Practically every day a helpless #nation watches a new scrap of #official #grift, #crime, #abuse of #publictrust revealed and tossed into the churning #dumpsterfire of #history.

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱

"More often than not, the ultimate “victim” of the offenses denounced in the German press is no actual Jewish person, but only the German state."

"The story [of guilt and fragility] is not about Germany, but a certain segment of society, about the reactionary radicalization within a bubble of political and cultural elites: disproportionately white, disproportionately identified with existing institutions, and disproportionately—let’s face it—neither Jewish nor Palestinian. It is among such people that we can see a defiant reprovincialization of the German spirit: a pride in not understanding or participating in analogous debates that rage elsewhere, a perverse pride in imposing one’s own categories, as though historical guilt confers true expertise."

by Adrian Daub: nplusonemag.com/online-only/on @germany

n+1 · Psychozionism | Adrian DaubThese are the characteristic language games of the German right: and now politicians across the spectrum make these seemingly baffling connections, and a much larger swath of voters and journalists than before seem to accept them as logical and plausible. When white, non-Jewish Germans try to imagine the fear felt by their Jewish neighbors and friends, they instead paint a vivid picture of their own; that they themselves might figure in their Jewish compatriots’ fears is not a possibility they find worth contemplating.
