The whole narrative is absurd on its face - at the same time the USA was both founded on White supremacy, slavery, and genocide, yet always meant to be a place that infinity Africans, Indians, and South Americans could come for a "better life"? - Unknown
So Trump actually came through on this one. Great. I’m happy for Ross Ulbricht and his family.
Apparently, at least in high profile cases that make him look good, Trump is capable of doing the right thing.

I have driven into Mexico on several occasions. Every time at some point, I have seen uniformed Mexican's with Assault Rifles pointed at people against a wall. I am not saying or insinuating that they shot those people, but those uniformed people didn't look friendly or welcoming.

Trump put all government DEI employees on paid leave beginning tomorrow.
That's a good start, but I wonder how many of them would love nothing more than paid leave for the next 2 months.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
For the first time that I can recall, the Libertarian Party leveraged their position of potential power effectively by striking a deal with Trump to get a commutation/pardon of Russ Ulbricht.
The LP has always had this type of potential but unfortunately they have never put it into play until this cycle. They had power but never understood it or were unwilling to exercise it.
The strategic playbook for the LP, on a national level, should always have been to run a solid Presidential candidate hard in the swing states and force both Republican and Democrat parties to make concessions on policy matters. That is the LP's most direct path to power on the federal level.
Hopefully this lesson is well learned and the LP continues down this strategic political path of gaining more power over the decades to gain more and more pro-liberty actions and policies from the Republicans and Democrats.
I do think they went a little overboard in their execution by hosting Trump and saying favorable things about him prior to the action he took (he does some liberty things, but cannot be confused for a pro-liberty President). But overall I commend them for making the pardon happen.
Also, to add... I think having a Presidential candidate who has been a victim of the deep state and weaponization of the DOJ themselves, made him much more sympathetic to the cause of justice here. Thankfully I think Trump will now be a lot more skeptical of people charged and convicted of "crimes" in the future which should help limit the government's actions in some areas. His skepticism of the federal government should lead to greater restrain I'm hoping.

It is an invasion, and all invasions may require a military response if severe enough.
The military/civilian dichotomy is a legal nicety invented in the modern world, this invasion is no different than the Goths invading Gaul with their women and children.
When the invaders were less bold and aggressive we could continue to play by the modern niceties, now they have become the reason we and they can't have nice things.

A running thread to vent your displeasure at the Orange Man for actions taken during his second term. (if this is in the wrong place, please move)
I'll start;
Trump has yet to call any of the press fake news, this cannot continue.

Trump has not insulted any fat women lately, this also cannot continue

I like these security clearance revocations.
I'm wondering why they're not being accompanied with firings.
Those AI generated mRNA cancer vaccines are pretty scary. Trump needs to denounce that.
