Outside the Beltway

It is one helluva a catch

This week the Ancient Geeks discuss The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

The saga of Kilmar Abrego Garcia continues to underscore the immoral nature of this presidency and its power goals.

Perhaps it’s just as well.

The relationship appears to be an inverse one.

An increasingly muddled tariff system.

USA! USA! USA!

To the Trump administation this a feature, not a bug.

“Tree Light”

The administration does not appear interested in deferring to the courts.

Some less optimistic thoughts on the SCOTUS ruling.

A unanimous Supreme Court has ordered the administration to comply with a lower court order.

But the Trump administration is out to wreck it.

The latest EO.

Be prepared for a rocky day and potentially more changes to “the plan”

Todd Lyons, acting Director of ICE provides the latest example.

Or they maybe happening at 10%… Who knows?! Clearly not the White House.

Just in case that wasn’t already obvious.

Things have to be bad when they actually start to speak the truth to the President

What could possibly go wrong?

The illogical of MAGA.

…and I write a bit more than that.

Ancient Geeks talk Star Wars this week!

Remember Trump cannot fail, he can only be failed!

Nationwide protests yesterday show a growing outrage over Trump 2.0.

If this is American greatest, I prefer it when things were “going to hell.”

This one should come with a warning label (especially as it cuts both ways)

* – but the tariffs didn’t start until April 2

A response to an argument based on feels not facts

“Halo”

A day of AI, tariffs, and world historic stupidity.

It’s like tab clearing, but for those with no attention spa… squirrel!

Saying it again for the folks who can’t hear.

Who would have guessed?

We are about to find out the degree to which trade wars are good and easy to win.
