How’s That Working Out For Them?

So you’re telling me a small group of billionaire elites—let’s call them a cabal—is coordinating through Signal chats to secretly control narratives and manipulate public opinion behind the scenes? Interesting. https://t.co/HwkDkGzWT0

I've been thinking about this a lot--though not even drafting stories to cross out. I keep wondering if he's contemplating just eliminating judges once SCOTUS turns on him.

Meanwhile, at least one of the tariffs lawsuits is backed by Leonard Leo.

Trump may think he can do that; but absent evidence, I put it down to sheer incompetence. In his first term Trump had people who actually understood how government works, like staff needed to make judicial appointment recommendations. Now the staff thinks they can legislate via executive orders, and even override Constitutional provisions because the Supremes will back their play (their case for presidential immunity was a real Hail Mary, until it wasn’t.). “Eliminating judges”? What, via hit squads? Attrition? Some who retired might return to the bench first. He really doesn’t have a mechanism for it, no matter how conjectural.
