The Trump circus distracts from more dangerous threat

In defiance of a federal court order, Trump deported 137 Venezuelan migrants using the Alien Enemies Act, resulting in their detention in a prison accused of human rights violations.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled against the deportations, yet the planes landed in El Salvador after his ruling, indicating non-compliance with the order.
The White House alleged without proof that the Venezuelans were part of a gang called Tren de Aragua, termed a 'terrorist' group by officials.
Trump dismissed judicial authority, stating, 'I don't care what the judges think,' highlighting a trend of eroding the principle of the rule of law.

It’s exhausting for many of us. I know it is for me.It…

Of shaved heads and bald sopranos

Remember that surreal day in WWE history, when Donald Trump - then just a billionaire mogul and television personality — shaved wrestling tycoon Vince McMahon's head in front of a roaring crowd? It was a piece of theatre so bizarre and exaggerated, one might have mistaken it for an undiscovered Act of Eugène Ionesco's The Bald Soprano, where nothing is as it seems and language spins in dizzying circles until sense evaporates. Fast-forward to Feb…
