Anyway, that was all one of the attorneys arguing Trump cannot kill the program had to say in response to Trump's reliance on the often expressed view not only of Republicans that the Obama era program is egregiously unconstitutional.
Daca case draws crowds to Supreme Court as justices consider program
Supreme court to rule on whether Trump can end Daca
Can't see the court buying that as a compelling argument.
It's full of conservative judges who are on record thinking Roe was wrong and should be overturned.

And that's it for her credibility
Nikki Haley plants a really juicy kiss on his royal ass.
Nikki Haley insists Donald Trump is 'truthful' as she returns to spotlight
Strip her claims of pro-Trump, sycophantic spin and you get core that sounds believable.
On Monday night Rex Tillerson, Trump’s first secretary of state, hit back at Haley’s claim in the book that he worked to undermine aspects of Trump’s agenda in an effort to “save the country”.
“During my service to our country as the secretary of state, at no time did I, nor to my direct knowledge did anyone else serving along with me, take any actions to undermine the president,” Tillerson said in a statement.
“Once the president made a decision, we at the state department undertook our best efforts to implement that decision.”
Tillerson was responding to Haley’s claim that he and the former White House chief of staff John Kelly invited her to join their attempts to subvert the president on several contentious issues, including pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accord, and moving the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The latest major Trump resignations and firings
In his statement, Tillerson said Haley “was rarely a participant in my many meetings and is not in a position to know what I may or may not have said to the president”.
In her book, Haley claims the two advisers “confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country”.

If you want actual news, and world news at that, go to BBC
Not Fox, not CNN, and not MSNBC.
Satellite radio (BBC World Service) or cable TV (BBC World News).
The three big American cable channels are 24/7 nothing but Trump and the political war in America.
Gets a bit old, that.

Bolton hypothsizes
Reportedly, in a private meeting with Republican bigwigs, Bolton told them he believes Trump gave Syria and the Kurds to Erdogan for personal or business reasons having to do with him or with Turkey.
This ignores that he gave Syria and the Kurds to the Russians.
Bolton told the gathering of Morgan Stanley’s largest hedge fund clients that he was most frustrated with Trump over his handling of Turkey, people who were present said.
Noting the broad bipartisan support in Congress to sanction Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan purchased a Russian missile defense system, Bolton said Trump’s resistance to the move was unreasonable, four people present for his speech said.
Bolton said he believes there is a personal or business relationship dictating Trump’s position on Turkey because none of his advisers are aligned with him on the issue, the people present said.

The rot now runs all the way down
Rank partisan solidarity is all Trump’s defenders have left
Probably taking a bribe, not offering one and not soliciting one, is the example cited in the constitution of what would count as a high crime or misdemeanor.
But never mind.
He was subordinating US foreign policy and congressionally authorized spending to his personal interest as a politician campaigning for reelection, holding congressionally authorized defense money for Ukraine for ransom, that being a very specific quid pro quo, that being the president of Ukraine publicly and with great fanfare launching an investigation, not at all called for by any known facts, into corruption on the parts of Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
And pretty much the entire body of Republicans in the US legislature is committed to defending that, and to defending him at every step of the way, with no matter what disgusting and low methods, of the impeachment process launched by Democrats in the House of Representatives.

When cartels are as dangerous as rebel guerillas they are no longer a police problem
Time for somebody in Mexico willing to do what was done in Peru against the Shining Path by Fujimori.
Civil war is not a law enforcement problem.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors
I can't really see that having sex with an intern is an impeachable offense, though it was way worse than merely tacky.
But Trump's entire term has been an uninterrupted string of impeachable offenses, and the Republicans will give him a pass on all of them.
That is how far their republicanism and devotion to the constitution and the historic American republic are all fake news.

Eyes Wide Open
Climate crisis: 11,000 scientists warn of ‘untold suffering’
Denial is a coverup.
The party of denial is the party of triumphant selfishness on a sociopathic scale.
The very thing that makes democratic socialism utterly impossible and social democracy a heck of a push.
Denial is a coverup for that selfishness.
"Untold suffering?
"Yeah, but not mine.
"Not my problem, compadre."

Why it's maybe NOT such a great idea
It sounds great, single payor socialized health insurance, Medicare for All, right up until you realize the very same Democrats who want this are already planning to starve the healthcare industry for funds beginning on the very first day.
If you want the country to have the best medical care, and if you want medical care to continue to progress and do ever more and better things for our health, then you DON'T want cheapo health care.
You want to be reality based? Then suck on that reality.
Top Democrats criticize Elizabeth Warren's Medicare for All plan
