Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

To suggest that these agencies have been captured is to imply that they were ever anything but. We live in dual realities. us, and Just Us. Just Us have been getting away with it for so long that they've taken smelling their own farts to stratospheric levels of absurdity. "Can we get away with this?" yielded to, "He got away with it, damn, did you see that, let's see what else we can do?" to "everyone does it." When someone gets caught and scapegoated, it does nothing to change the underlying system, except to make the players more savvy about what they have on whom, in order to protect themselves from the same fate.

The future forks one of two ways. This continues in the same trajectories and we end up with Hunger Games, or the money implodes and the phoenix rises and we get out of here alive. The current program is not sustainable. I read today that the national debt is now at the level where expenditures average $1B *an hour.* You can ignore the laws of nature, but the laws of nature don't ignore you, and there aint nothing for free in this old world.
