The madness of Donroe

The Donroe Doctrine sounds about right for this idiot and his “views” on “international” “law”.  The far-right, and everybody who loves absolute power, are crazy about a good doctrine or theory to cover their irrational, exploitation-justifying ideas.   The Unitary Executive Theory [1], the Political Question Doctrine, “Originalism”, “Textualism” “Birtherism”.  Makes you feel real smart, and infallibly reasonable, citing to a learned theory or doctrine, even if it’s pulled directly out of some insane zealot’s ass.

The president’s National Emergency shock troops, ICE, have openly murdered a protester in Minneapolis. She was shot seemingly complying with ICE’s order to move her vehicle, she was moving away slowly when she was shot in the face. You can watch the entire hideous event on video.   The ICE agent was shooting into a car moving away from him, in self-defense and to protect fellow officers and the public, as puppy killer Kristi Noem insisted in a very dignified news conference. The doctrine or theory of why this was a righteous shooting is forthcoming. 

Meanwhile, these genius theoreticians have successfully turned a deadly riot, in the minds of roughly a third of the population, into an innocent, praisworthy display of loving patriotism.  No plaque for obstructionist, woke Capitol police overrun by the good guys that day! MAGA Mike Johnson will not allow it, not while he gets the final say.

Day of Love —  kissing booth

Nowhere does Trump’s conviction that he, and he alone, has the right to run the United States show more clearly than in the White House’s rewriting of the history of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol were Trump supporters determined to overthrow the free and fair election of Democrat Joe Biden by more than 7 million votes in 2020, replacing him with Trump by virtue of their belief that no Democrat could be fairly electedT.

But the official White House website reversed that reality today, claiming that the insurrectionists who beat and wounded at least 140 police officers, smeared feces on the walls of the Capitol building, and called for the hanging of Vice President Mike Pence were “peaceful patriotic protesters.” The real villains, the White House wrote in bold type, were “the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities, and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters.” source

Meanwhile, the entire DOJ is working around the clock, to the exclusion of everything else, on hiding the incriminating sections of the Epstein files.  The Department of Justice does this in open contempt of the 534-1 bipartisan bill Trump himself signed into law in November.

You can argue with Nazis, but it won’t help you. An idiot disposed to violence is always right, no matter what.  Ask Donroe.

Since first hoisted by President Ronald Reagan’s second-term Attorney General Edwin Meese, the unitary executive banner has flown as an originalist imperative, catchily articulated by wordsmith-in-chief Justice Antonin Scalia. Quoting t he so-called vesting clause of Article 2 of the Constitution—“The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States”—Scalia spun that text to “not mean some of the executive power, but all of the executive power.” Scalia’s chestnut bred an asserted (though not demonstrated) corollary: that to effectively deploy this sweeping authority, presidents must hold an indefeasible power to remove senior executive officials, certainly agency heads, at will, for any reason or no reason. source
