"A year into Donald Trump’s second term, the Department of Justice has become his private law firm, devoted less to the impartial administration of justice than to blackmailing, intimidating, and persecuting Trump’s foes while selectively enforcing the law to spare allies who break it. The chairman of the Federal Reserve reveals that the Justice Department has been attempting to blackmail him into lowering interest rates with the threat of a federal indictment. The governor of Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis, the former head of the FBI, the attorney general of New York, and a member of the Federal Reserve Board all face indictment or investigation for opposing or challenging the president.
The decision to ignore evidence that demands investigation or prosecution can be equally nefarious, as we’ve seen in Minneapolis, where federal authorities refused to investigate a masked government agent for shooting an unarmed mom in the face, and where half a dozen federal prosecutors have since resigned after being pushed to investigate the woman’s widow instead.
These are all examples of the executive branch abusing its prosecutorial discretion. And thanks to Chief Justice John Roberts and the Supreme Court, Trump is likely to get away with it.
The Supreme Court’s 2024 decision to grant presidents “absolute immunity” to criminal prosecution for “official acts”—a concept with no textual basis whatsoever in the Constitution—means that Trump can abuse his authority over the executive branch with impunity. Given Trump’s campaign-trail emphasis on “retribution,” he probably would have pursued malicious prosecutions of his enemies regardless of the Court’s decision. But the Court’s grant of imperial immunity eliminated any fear Trump might have had about criminal liability for the corrupt use of his powers."

There’s this thing about how a bar becomes a biker bar: they start out being a regular bar, then a couple of bikers come along. They buy a few beers. All is well. Nobody thinks anything of it. Next time they bring a few biker friends. Then next time those friends bring more biker friends. Before you know it non-bikers start to avoid the place.
The owner never did anything explicitly to attract bikers or turn away non-bikers. It just so happened that accommodating the bikers made the place less attractive to non-bikers.
Same thing with Substack and Nazis.
Same thing with Twitter and the MAGA crowd.

Ugh. It's that time of year when that authoritarian creep/elf hides and records children's behaviour to report back. Do kids have to learn about a police state during the holidays? And get off the chandelier. Go sit on the bench, like the The Mensch. Look into your heart and ask yourself why you became a public servant. #elf #Mensch #holidays #thanksgiving #jerk #absolutism
