Last week, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned opinion requiring the Trump administration to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Maryland man whom immigration officials deported to a Salvadoran megaprison 32 days ago. But the justices pointedly stopped short of requiring the administration to “effectuate” Abrego Garcia’s return, in light of the “deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.” They did so despite the fact that lawyers for the government have conceded that it had no legal basis to deport Abrego Garcia; in court, they have characterized his disappearance as an “administrative error,” as if shipping a man who has not been accused of a crime to an overseas gulag is the equivalent of neglecting to attach an itemized receipt to an expense report.
I for one cannot wait for Trump to die. It can’t come soon enough.
Be careful what you wish for. No matter how he goes, they’ll blame his death on “the left” and martyr him. It could actually make things much worse.
It’ll only pause shit for a week if he does. This isn’t his playbook.
But he’s the cult leader. There’s nobody else that the cult worships even half as much. Sure, there will be other men who try to fill the void, but it’s unlikely anybody could build his kind of following very quickly.
God, just writing that, I hope I don’t have to eat my words soon after he dies.
