The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

How Donald Trump is being reined in by the courts, Congress and Democratic States

Donald Trump has been pushing the boundaries of executive power, to the point that the American people are shocked and frightened. He is openly and commonly described as a dictator, and a fascist. His federal law enforcement officers are doing so much damage, that they have had to, literally, go into hiding, just to survive, and avoid rough mob justice. So, what is being done about it? Trump was forced to release control of the state NG's he was trying to manipulate by all levels of the court system, inluding SCOTUS. The state national guards were determined not to be for the protection of federal agents, or federal buildings, but, exclusively for the protection of the citizens of the state. And, this protection extends to protection against federal agents, if they are posing a threat to the citizens of the state. Far from having absolute power over state NG's, the President only has power to assist in defending the citizens against an imminent, existential threat, and very temporarily, for perhaps a week or less. And, it is the role of the courts to evaluate this threat. In normal circumstances, the state governor alone makes this decision, and, the governor has the right to attack federal agents, if they pose a threat to the state's population. This is exactly what Governor Walz of Minnesota is considering doing at this time. If any more Minnesotans are murdered by federal agents, Governor Walz is fully legally justified in using the state NG to order the federal agents to surrender, and, if they refuse to do so, to neutralize the threat they pose to the good citizens of Minnesota. And, he will do so! Furthermore, the US Congress, under the impetus of the Democrats, may simply refuse to fund further any federal agents at all, by simply excluding their funding from further budget extension approval bills, passed every two months or so. Currently, Donald Trump is threatening to invade Greenland, a NATO ally, and territory of Greenland. This would certainly destroy NATO, and mnight even lead to a catastrophic thermonuclear war with Europe. In order to deal with this prospect, Democrats and Republicans are joining together to craft new legislation, to deal with this particular contingency. Specifically, they are propopsing to pass legislation, by veto-proof majorities, which would effectively allow the US to go back to the orininal conception of the Founding Fathers, and the Constitution, if the US military was preparing to attack, or had attacked a NATO ally. Effectively, the US would immediately cease to have any standing army at all. Ths US military would cease to exist. No further funding would be provided again, ever, for anything related to a US military. Current and former members of the US military would cease to have any connection with the US government at all. You're on your own, guys.
