We woke up Saturday to welcome news that the Supremes — at least some of them — have come to the conclusion maybe that the Mad King really doesn’t give a flying fig about court rulings and will continue to defy them.
With only Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel “What Kind of Flag Will My Wife Buy for This” Alito dissenting, the highest court in the land temporarily stopped another group of migrants from Venezuela who have been accused of being members of a gang from being deported using the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act, per the New York Times.

Could it be that social media “smartass-ness” coming from the official White House formerly Twitter account actually made the justices sit up and say, “Donnie’s not taking us seriously. Is it something we said, like ‘full immunity’?”
And please remember that it was a tweet by Salvadoran dictator President Nayib Bukele and reposted White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, saying “Oopsie … Too late,” when news broke about the government ignoring a district judge’s order to turn around the original flights of immigrants in mid-March.
Is Chief Justice John Roberts now a member of the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party who is saying, “I never though leopards would eat MY face”?

Is this another “oopsie”?
Now President Donald J. Felon’s White House is claiming it never meant to send a letter to Harvard University demanding the school discontinue diversity efforts, limit or completely ban student protests and install right-wing faculty, among other things.
On April 11, Harvard received the letter and immediately rejected the authoritarian demands for the adjudicated felon to take over running the institution.
Then on Friday it was reported by the New York Times that, shortly after Harvard’s public rebuke of the president, a top General Services Administration lawyer named Josh Gruenbaum called the university and said the letter was unauthorized and should not have been sent, according to The Wrap.
It gets more delicious because, while the White House told the Times it stands by the letter, one of its policy persons said in a statement that Harvard’s lawyers should have called the White House before going public about the letter’s demands. New phone, who dis?
OMG. It must be difficult for this administration to understand that people who are educated and can actually read might actually believe what they have been sent in writing, especially when it was signed by three federal officials and was on official letterhead!

There is nothing I can add to this Mother Jones article about how little Robert F. Kennedy Jr. knows about autism.
He is a dangerous man who really should be impeached for the disinformation he continue to spew. Unfortunately, RFK Jr. is in a position to hurt — even kill — a lot of Americans.
