One can refer to all of the Harvard and Yale law school graduates still alive and they would all defend to the death any "official" legal opinion about Trump's procedures against the Left's trashing of America and still not understand that what has been government action prior to this administration have been unconstitutional and illegal, at least bordering on treason. If, as you claim, he is taking illegal steps against illegal migrants and dismantling prior administrations' cobbled together agencies, the Democrats would have already taken steps to impeach him. Instead they are flooding mainstream press with criticisms and the courts with "lawfare" bogus actions. Their tactics are baseless and spineless hysterical inconsequential fluttering.
I don't know what they actually say. I only see multiple stories in the new every day, usually by Reuters and AP, combines mouthpieces of the establishment. Most of the stories involve Trump's tariffs which the don't understand but are positive they will bring about a trade war. The stock market is always squawking about everything because the big boys get rich on volatility.
You have no idea what I have and have not read. Not everything that has been written is worth the time it would take to read--tens of thousands of books, many written just today.
I haven't read every legal opinion ever written. But I know that much of legalism, as taught in law school and as practiced in the profession amounts to how to lie convincingly. The same applies to religious legalism. I have read legal opinions, especially those written by Supreme Court Justices, though of course, not all of them.
'This comes a week after Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) met with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador at a location he says was a “setup” by the Bukele government that involved Salvadoran officials placing “fake margaritas” on the table in order to stage a photo op."
Yeah, I hate it when I invite myself to someone else's country and they set me up with fake margaritas. Ruins my whole day.
Embattled defense secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly sent details about drone strikes in Yemen to a 13-person group chat that included his wife and brother. Hegseth denied wrongdoing and blamed the story on “disgruntled former employees.” The news comes a month after National Security Adviser Mike Walz reportedly added Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg to a group chat that also discussed the Yemen strikes. A report from NPR yesterday said that the White House was looking for Hegseth’s replacement, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied the claim on X, saying the president “stands strongly” behind the defense secretary.
Listen to Press Go Quiet as Hegseth Makes Reporter Regret Asking This
Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a DM clip of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s fiery response to the latest mainstream media hit piece on him.
What would the mainstream media do without Trump in office? Cover him 24x7. So what’s the difference now? Every story is about what Trump is “doing wrong” and not about what is working (illegal immigration stopped, closed borders, bringing Made in the USA labels popular again, etc etc). Too bad TFP has gone off the rails.
Mind/body work, exercise, processing of trauma/abuse experiences are the correct response to "wrong body" ideations. Detransitoners tell us just how warped the "gender affirmers" are. Why no one is talking about Piaget's stages of development, proving young children simply don't have the cognition or language to have this wrong body expression. It is all from outside influences and these cases giving parents back their rights, along with those who dared to speak truth, is cause to celebrate. You cannot change your sex. Learn to deal with your problems and stop forcing a cult on society!
Any chance you could share at least some of that knowledge with us less insightful folks? I believe Trump was also flanked by Melania. Is all you need to know about River Page that he prefers bunnies to women? It's something else, right?
Simply, the entire quote from River Page's piece was: "Yesterday, the Vatican revealed that Pope Francis died of a stroke that led to a coma and irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse. Later that day, President Trump, flanked by the Easter Bunny, announced that flags would be flown at half-staff out of respect for the late pontiff, who he called “a good man” who “loved the world.”
It just seemed to me that without the phrase "flanked by the Easter Bunny", the paragraph would have described something respectful. The Bunny interjection, IMHO, needlessly added a measure of kitsch that set the entire message in a different light.
It just seemed to me that the Easter Egg Roll event and venue were inappropriate for POTUS to respectfully address this major global news. It came across as a perfunctory obligation to be gotten out of the way so that an enjoyable annual White House event could begin.
IMHO, Trump ought to have taken a few moments later in the day - or earlier - to publicly mark the sad occasion of the death of one of the world's major spiritual leaders. I believe River Page shares my viewpoint that Trump's decision showed a lack of awareness of the gravity of the Pope's passing that many might say bordered on dismissiveness and/or disrespect.
Regardless of whether you agree with our perception, pointing it out does not necessarily signal a fundamental disrespect for Trump. Not all opinions have TDS as their source.
I do understand this POV. My point, however curt it may have seemed, was that if River Page perceived disrespect, he should have said that, rather than what I saw as snark. An aside ("flanked by the Easter Bunny") implies raised eyebrows, and I would prefer directness. Trump could very well have been respectful -- but as we know, he does not always go about things "correctly". Should he, when asked by reporters, have shooed the costumed figure away first in order to seem More respectful? That's just the kind of artifice we've been doing our best to Remove.

As a Catholic, I prayed for the soul of Pope Francis this morning when I heard of his passing. However, his attacks against traditionalists and the Latin mass will be a stain on his legacy. Not to mention the speech he gave in September 2024 in Singapore at an inter-religious meeting at which he stated:
"All religions are paths to God."
To anyone who understands Christianity, this is on its face a heretical statement.
Just saying what nobody is willing to because it's not politically correct. He ran the Church as if it were an NGO, rarely if ever mentioning anything about salvation through Christ.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
"Four more Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia." Meanwhile zero Democratic lawmakers have traveled to Gaza to demand the release of the hostages.
And there is at least one American hostage Still! in the bunch. Ridiculous that Biden never even insisted that the Hamas terrorists release OUR hostages as well. I well remember 1979 and the msm at the time, including Walter Cronkite counting the days as they mounted 444 , of Iran still holding our hostages as being completely UN-acceptable. Our msm now hardly to never even mentioned American hostages .
Yes, we convened 7 sharp legal minds ………who skew hard to the left and confirm our biases here at FP. This is why fewer people trust FP than when launched. Your TD Syndrome is bleeding through.
To follow on - and my question about this sentence: "Helping us make sense of Trump’s legal strategy are law professors Lawrence Lessig and Jonathan Adler as well as The Free Press’s very own constitutional law expert, Jed Rubenfeld" - Is Jed Rubenfeld as good as a constitutional law expert and one noted constitutional law expert and serial constitutional law violator as one Barak Obama?
$1.6 Million is NOT massive.
“Four more Democratic lawmakers have traveled to El Salvador to demand the release of Kilmar Abrego Garci…”
Hope their constituents voted for this.
Are the dem reps willing to host those deportees they want returned in their own homes and be liable for any crimes they commit?
I’m losing interest on your take.

A hero.

The gratuitous phrase, "flanked by the Easter Bunny", tells me all I need to know about River Page's objectives.

River is clearly trying to make Trump seem to be a clown. He should have written "at the Easter Egg Roll" or something similar.
