Can Simulation Commander face the increasingly likely possibility that on the Covidvax issue, Trump has decided to become Suppressor in Chief? That the only coherent conservatism is going to have to begin frontally challenging the GOP on this issue, boycotting donations and campaign work for all, including almost all "Trumpist," candidates?
That Portland ruling reads a lot like "public officials have no duty to uphold the law, and can do anything to citizens without non-electoral repercussions" to me. If police are not legally required to enforce the laws, what is stopping elected officials from hiring gangs of thugs to do whatever while the police do nothing? At what point do you just have a totalitarian city state? Why even have laws?
I recall that article, it was very good, even if I forgot some of the particulars.
This case seems a little more special, in just about every meaning of the word. In the examples in your article one can kind of sort of squint really hard and see an argument that since police can't protect everyone in every instance they can't be liable for specific instances of law breaking. Were I a judge I would say the argument is overridden by the requirement of attempting to do the duty; due diligence is required, but ok, sometimes you can't stop the bad guys no matter how hard you try.
This case is arguably somewhat different in that it isn't specific people being harmed so much as general disregard for the law. It is one thing to say "we couldn't stop one person from getting harmed in particular, when we tried to stop the riot but failed" and another to say "we didn't try to stop the riot at all." I suppose the blatant nature of the omission is what makes it so galling.
I wonder what will be the first state to legislate that public officials actually have a positive duty to uphold the law. I also wonder if there will be one.
If I were Trump, I'd invite the Washington Governor to dinner at the Whitehouse, and then have him arrested by AG Bondi, for sedition, or whatever charge makes sense. Even if they only hold him for a day or two, the lesson might be worth it! "We will not tolerate your disgusting behavior!"
Tweet from a D.C. lobbyist named Anang Mittal who says he lives near Union Station: "Tonight is the first weekend since 2020 lockdown that I don’t recall drag racing at all hours of the night and ATV’s riding down H street. Whatever the feds are doing my eardrums thank them."
Which makes me wonder - where is the list of nations that supported Russia by sending a few billion dollars each, and giving them weapons? Surely there is a long list, right? You know, all those countries that wanted to see the bio weapons labs shut down, the human trafficking ended, the deep state money laundering machine turned off, and Ukraine de-nazified. Those nations.
Macron is such a turd sandwich. Does he speak for all of the French or European people? He says “I don’t believe Putin wants peace. I believe he wants Ukraine’s capitulation.” Putin wants both. And Putin deserves to take all of Ukraine. Zelensky lost this battle a long time ago, why doesn't he surrender? Why does Europe take up for Ukraine? Trump has exposed them all.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, look, I think the role that Europe can play ultimately in the long term is on security guarantees that Ukraine has been talking about. They should play a key element in that regard. And I also think the Europeans are very helpful being in the room sometimes and sort of giving ideas about what accommodations can be made and what flexibility the Ukrainian side could have.
So that’s the role that they’ve played up to this point. The President invited them to come here. He told President Zelenskyy to come on Monday and bring European leaders that he chose to bring with him, so there’s a handful of heads of state that will be here as well tomorrow at the invitation of the President to see if we can make some progress on some of these points.
I'd still enjoy seeing them - Macron, Starmer, Merz - given the bum's rush.
But Trump is a pragmatist and does not hold grudges. And he certainly isn't going to bow to Zelensky's demand that the U.S. provide security guarantees for Ukraine. Let France, Germany, the U.K. do that.
Thanks for filling me on on something I missed. It irks me that Zelensky lets on it was his idea or that he's bringing his "posse" to pressure Trump and Putin.
What's happened to Cloud and her neighbors is a great example of government actively, deliberately harming common citizens. The city could have moved them to another building for a while, could have forced the Antifa people to shut up; no, instead, it spent $x thousand fighting them in court.
No matter where you live in WA, Turd Ferguson is your governor. And that is why, after 23 years in WA, we picked up stakes and left. Those people are not “law abiding immigrants.” They broke the law when they came over the border in violation of our nations’s laws. And that fact taints everything after because they were law breakers from the get go. It doesn’t matter if they are hard working and contributing now. They need to leave now with the app, so that if they want to come back, they can do so legally. Otherwise they are lawbreakers. WA Gov has no interest in enforcing the law. And by so saying, he is giving the big middle finger to all law abiding Washingtonians who have support this crap with their tax dollars.
What I saw earlier today is that POTUS will meet w/dwarf zelensky FIRST, without the euro-dipshiiites. AFTER the zelensky meeting, POTUS will meet with the eurotrash wannabe leaders and set up a future meeting with dwarf-zelensky and Putin. All of this is obviously subject to change based on how arrogant the dwarf is and also the eurotrash
Putting this on Portland and Antifa here for posterity: https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/10/portland-fake-news-ignores-antifa-violence-residents-pleas-for-help/

..."Open Links Open Thread"...neither do I golf nor sew. But I can do some minor plumbing and hoping to flush the DC Swamp down the toilet for good.

Pretty much the case. Here's the more obvious link to the linked article:

Police Aren't There To Protect You
What you need to know about the law

".. law-abiding immigrants.." --- apparently entering the country illegally isn't counted as breaking the law according to Ferguson. So stupid.
What kind of people elect such individuals
The kind who stuff the ballot drop box.
The entire state is mail-in ballots, so take a guess...
Feguson's "keep Washingtonians safe" is so laughable.

Because many people in power at the EU don't read their own history.
I'd like to see Trump throw Zelensky's EU gang of intimidators out of the White House. As far as I know, they were not invited.

QUESTION: What does Europe want, Secretary?

I went back to read the full interview. Very informative. I have confidence in Trump and Rubio.
It's a pleasure to read a conversation between intelligent, conscientious, earnest people.
Thanks for the link.
Glad it was useful!

I love the impressive flyover Trump and Putin! Trump never forgets the enhancing details.
What's happened to Cloud and her neighbors is a great example of government actively, deliberately harming common citizens. The city could have moved them to another building for a while, could have forced the Antifa people to shut up; no, instead, it spent $x thousand fighting them in court.
The police literally called members of Antifa as witnesses during the hearing.
https://x.com/KatieDaviscourt/status/1948887212273402119
City calls first witness: Cameron Mixtus, a trans Antifa militant who has taken on a security type role for the occupation.
Mixtus is often observed outside the ICE facility wearing black bloc with a trans flag firearm patch.
Mixtus testified that suffering residents can blame ICE for Antifa’s noise disturbances.
Mixtus is mixed up, or rather fucked up, and I'd like to see ICE fuck him/her/it up, real good. Trump needs to do a DC on Portland.
Trump needs to defund ALL the "sanctuary" states. Let them eat shiiii...um, cake.
Yes, Illinois next, and take Pritzker's lunch money too.

Totally agree with you. We also moved out of WA to escape all this.
To which state did you escape? We found the TX Panhandle.

Isn’t Zelenskyy’s only option, at this point, to capitulate? He’s got no bargaining chips.
He hasn't had any since the start of the war but here we are still giving him everything.
We need to pull everything. Leave the POS EU to give him everything. THEN, we need out of the EU!

Still having issues with the like button, I see. After many months, one would think it could have been fixed by Substack alteady.
Nope, it's one of those things that will never be fixed and that I put up with. Ending a sentence with a preposition.

I think so far I'm proven correct..................... no?

Love that comment R.CWO, lol.
I figured they'd chain themselves together in solidarity.
Me, too. The "safety in numbers" idea.
