I think the appeal of this is not solely about being virulently anti-immigrant. It’s about how using big violence to do big things is feasible. They want you to dream about how if they use force against 11 million people, which people they could use force on next.

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump have promised to deport 15 million people. Miller himself compared their plan's scope to the construction of the Panama Canal, and its ruthlessness to Israel’s invasion of Gaza. They couldn’t be any clearer about what they intend.

Trump's deportation armyradleybalko.substack.com The former president's vow to deport 15 million people is the cruelest, most illiberal, most openly authoritarian campaign promise in modern U.S. history. Oh, and it would also destroy the economy.

On today's Kagro in the Morning #KITM: @demfromct.bsky.social is back! (But maybe I shouldn't have been.) We croak our way thru TFG's weekend outrages, plus NJ's archaic balloting outrages. Good thing Manafort's free, because TFG needs to launder some cash, like NOW!

Kagro in the Morning - March 18, 2024www.youtube.com KITM has proven to be an overwhelming viral success! (For the viruses.) Rhinoviruses and coronaviruses are still no match for our heroes, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, bringing us the latest news from around the world and greater New Jersey. Andy Kim trounces Tammy Murphy at the Atlantic County Democratic convention, triggering a Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop flipflop. Was the county-line ballot system fix in? Meanwhile, broke-ass dotard Donald Trump promises a bloodbath if he is not elected. What could TFFG possibly mean by that… other than what he said? With Trump it’s never what he says as much as who he’s talking to, and what they will believe they need to do to please him. Trump hopes to spring his best bath pourers out of prison, and replace them with whomever brings his Diet Coke late… That’s it! Mike Pence draws the line and will not endorse Trump. Of course, Mike didn’t say he “wouldn’t vote” for Donald, dude’s got a wife and kids after all. Turns out the FBI isn’t the woke bastion that everyone no one thought it was. When it was time to close in on Mar-a-Lago, MAGAs broke ranks. A Gop nominee wants a "firing squad" for liberals, and probably is also planning a bloodbath. It’s not just the violent felons, Trump wants Paul Manafort back on his campaign too. Trump and Manafort go way back, not as far back as Manafort and Putin, but seeing how Putin just squeaked by on winning another term, Vlad is probably in a good mood to put Paul back on the payroll.

People have forgotten this because of Romney’s modern position in politics but Obama’s re-election campaign went all in on the idea that regular Americans recognize private equity as an unambiguous force for evil and they were dead on

Private equity makes money by extracting resources from already existing companies. Private equity getting into journalism was never going to end well.

#KITM show notes: Just dawned on me what @demfromct.bsky.social was saying today about the previous question motion and the Gop rule vote rebellion. Defeating the PQ on a rule opens the rule up to amendment on the floor. That's the loss of control they worry about.
