Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)
Why is Trump so enthusiastic about destroying Iranian civilian infrastructure? It won’t win the war. It is likely for another reason: to provoke an Iranian response that Trump can use for his own purposes. (2/17)
Provocation is not a complex form of politics. Let’s not imagine Trump is not smart enough to have thought of this. He is. And exploiting a wartime incident to try to seize total power is normal tyrannical behavior. It’s on us not to dodge that historical fact. (3/17)

Interesting moment in the post-Trump succession struggle. 1/
Miller is an apparent problem for Vance, because Miller gets to run things and Vance doesn’t. 2/
But when Trump is gone, and everything is a mess, Vance can blame Miller for the “distortions” of the true MAGA doctrine. 3/

The Bill of Wrongs: A Cult Constitution
(A thread)
1. Congress shall make no law denying the Cult of all-wise Trump, or limiting the exercise thereof; or abridging His sole Freedom to define Truth, which includes his Self-Given Power to defraud, slander, and censor; the right of the people to assemble in worship of all-wise Trump, and to sacrifice Enemies for His Truth, shall in no wise be hindered; petitions to all-wise Trump for a redress of grievances shall take the form of gold Bullion.
2. A personal Militia, being necessary to the security of a Cult, the right of the Servants of all-wise Trump to keep and bear Arms, and to execute thereby his chosen Enemies, shall not be infringed.

34/40 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35/40 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36/40 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.
2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.
3/4. If we accept the idea that moving a person from one place to another undoes rights and disempowers the judiciary, we are endorsing the basic Nazism practice that enabled the killing of millions.
