First, let me say, Thank You, Adam for the work and reporting you do. You are an invaluable resource. I began as a free subscriber, but I had to switch to paid to make a small effort to help fund all your travel. It must be a real spectacle to go to court and listen to the incompetence and venality of the DoJ's lawyers as they stumble and lie their way through hearings and trials.

That said --

Gee, Adam, Donald Trump is scum. Who could have ever imagined that?

Thank goodness we have the Supreme Court to defend us against this fascist monster.

Oh, wait.

Trump is truly one of the worst human beings alive today. Someone might object and say, "But what about murderers?" Well, when you get finished counting the number of people Trump is responsible for killing (e.g., every victim of the gutting of USAID) let me know.

At least he hasn't committed genocide, you say. No, he's just supported and enabled genocide.

"But, what about rapists, someone says?" Yep, what Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was a form of rape. And, look at the accusations made by a 13-14 year-old girl that appear in the Epstein files. Does anyone seriously think that Trump hasn't forced women and/or girls to have sex? If so, I've got a bridge on swampland on a planet in the Andromeda galaxy to sell you. And don't worry, Elon will develop faster than light travel any day now, so you'll be able to check out your new bridge very soon.

We don't even have to consider thieves, no one has stolen more in the last year-and-a-half than Trump.

So, yeah, worst person on the planet.

I want to add this.

There are bad, even very bad people

-who can be loyal to others. That's not Trump.

-who aren't racists. That's not Trump.

-who aren't misogynists. That is not Trump.

-who don't lie about everything. That's not Trump.

-who can show genuine gratitude. That's not Trump.

-who love animals. That is not Trump.

-who can be kind under some circumstances. That's not Trump.

Choose a positive attribute, any positive attribute and Trump does not have that attribute.

Trump is a human anomaly in that he does not have a single positive characteristic. Not one.

As James Fallows said, in a quote that sums up Trump perfectly: "Anything that could be wrong with a human being is wrong with Donald Trump."

Who can claim to support this killer administration with pride? Let them take the place of this father in the drug cartel torture chambers. Who the hell are WE ???

So the father is in grave danger and every single one of us is actually less safe because of trump, miller, mullins (no caps=no respect) and their goon squads. Is that right?

The supreme irony of a narcissist like Trump, who breathes for praise, doing everything in his power to make people hate him is the great enigma of this administration. We have never had to see this particular brand of self-destruction under the magnifying lens of public policy before.

Thanks, Adam: Jeez. The courts are so slow; by the time they make an order, Trump has already done the deed. Anyone who works with this administration regarding testifying at any trial or helping the federal authorities is putting their lives at risk. Trump and Stephen Miller are building one of the largest state Gestapo forces in the history of the US, possibly to help him in his next insurrection. He has no intention of leaving the White House and his new ballroom, which he is still building thanks to the Supreme Court.
