What does the slant of the article or the website have to do with it? It's literally in the bill. (I went to the Tennessee senate website and actually read it, just to be clear)

Ok, then deal with the Criminal Illegal Aliens under whatever due process the US has. Try them, jail them, deport them. Whatever. If they need holding space for 30,000 people in the system, I'm sure there is enough real estate somewhere on American soil that remains under American jurisdiction rather than shipping them off to a foreign location leased solely for military purposes that their own DOJ has determined is not subject to US legal oversigt.

Some interesting parallels here...
"You know how there are all these checks and balances in the government?" says Rick Perlstein, author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fracturing of America. "Under the Bush administration, all that was turned on its head. When you look at what they did, it's like reading the opposite of the Federalist Papers." Despite the fact that Alexander Hamilton clearly articulated that there should be checks on the president's power -- especially in a time of war -- the Bush administration selectively interpreted the Federalist Papers to claim that Congress has no right to restrict the president. Government lawyers such as John Yoo, who worked in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, went so far as to assert that Hamilton's view of "executive unity" allows for a supercharged executive branch with unlimited power.
Some of Bush's power grabs made national news. Unaccountable military contractors in Iraq and ideological shenanigans at the Justice Department were front-page headlines. However, to gain a true sense of Bush's legacy we must look beyond these individual transgressions and examine how the administration employed politically motivated strategies throughout the federal government -- with devastating results. In other words, to understand what happened to government under the Bush administration, we must look at the methods that were used to break it down.
These methods, which included everything from meddling with scientific research to get the desired results to appointing former lobbyists to watchdog positions, were not, of course, all directly supervised by Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, or other high-level officials. They were often carried out by an array of lower-level officials, many of whom were political appointees, all of whom were operating in the same climate of secrecy and working for a government that condoned and encouraged attempts to expand the reach of the executive branch and its political agenda.

Almost like he is signing whatever they are putting in front of him because he doesn't actually care, as long as he gets the spotlight.

DEI = Donald Jr, Eric & Ivanka
He has nothing to do with Project 2025. He’s just loading his administration with its authors and influencers, and immediately, even hastily, doing a bunch of the things they said he should do.

Our PM - JT does not inspire confidence.
Some of the rhetoric out of DC is over the top.

Kinda like how PET consolidated power into the PMO and no PM since has worked to undo.Some interesting parallels here...

Which also includes Trump's first term, Bush etc, so this isn't some kind of Democrat thing. How many times has the US funded some kind of government overthrow or dissidents and come back to bite them later (like Osama).First time?

Wonder how much of the black and grey world will get inadvertently mangled by all this messing about.
