    This.

    Stopping the invasion and ejecting the invaders is the single most important task facing the fedgov right now.

    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.

    It's not a military invasion, and it doesn't require a military response.

    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.

    Border security has always been a military issue and could even be argued the only legitimate purpose of a military

    Expelling trespassers falls under the category of border security

    What's funny is a lot on the left are suddenly becoming "law and order" types saying that Ross openly flouted the law and thus deserved the sentence and shouldn't have been pardoned or even commuted.

    Funny how that works

    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.

    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.

    President Donald Trump had a history of disliking CNN and Jim Acosta. So it comes at no surprised during Trump's second term that Acosta would lose his slot. But now that Jim quits the news network, it does not look good for him in the future. So what will the media do now?
