Well then it can’t deport all the people it wants to.
But at the same time, my faith in the judicial system is… flagging.
And our social contract may be expiring. 🤷♀️
Expiring contract? You got traded to El Salvador for a 3rd round pick in 2048 and cash considerations.
Time to get a new agent for a real contract. Unions won them to begin with, which is why they’re a main target of every authoritarian regime.
It’s done.
BUT… some of the more sane sympathizers are starting to realize the King is insane, and are pushing back. Not saying that’s going to save us peasants. but it’s a sign.
Yeah, the Republic fell a month ago with the first times they ignored the courts and some people seem to think they can give it TV style CPR and get right back to where we were on Jan 18 like nothing ever happened.
Babies, the damage is done. And it’s not even over yet. Place your bets now on 2040 turning the corner back to stability. A lot will come to pass between now and then. That’s 15 years from now. We have passed a generational level of work to rebuild after only 80-some days.
If you don’t already have an actionable plan for what to do next, with defined tripwires of when to do what, you’re very late to the party. Not too late, but late.

They said he was insane the first time around when he called Kim Jong Un ‘rocket man’.
And our social contract may be expiring
It’s been shredded already.
Despite this fact, a lot of us are still holding up our end of the bargain. How do I quit?
In other words, Trump says he can deport anyone he wants without trial.
Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you. And even then, that might not protect you.
Won’t work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.
This is literally what ICE has argued in the past few months.
Yeah. They literally said that that the lack of evidence is actually the evidence, and that it is proof of a hyperintelligent criminal who has lead a life of crime without ever being caught. And that is why they have no criminal records… because they are criminals who haven’t been caught yet!
You should probably also make sure to have a copy at home in case they take it from you
Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you.
Won’t save you from an ICE that’s happy to tear them up and deport you anyway. This isn’t a legalist regime. Residential “legality” is just a talking point to justify totalitarianism.
If you believe a piece of paper is going to be a shield against a bunch of thugs with guns, you’re going to be in for a hard and sharp awakening when people you know and love end up on the next round of deportation lists.
I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.
I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.
Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something “bad” by crazy radicals?
that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical’s view.
She’s not joining me on the trip. We debated about it while Biden was still in office and mainly decided that I’d just be catching up with friends and family and her getting a visa and a plane ticket is too costly and time consuming.
After current events, it was a no brainer.
Better still, avoid travelling in the US and hope the Americans can reclaim their country from Trump and his merry band of fascists.
ICE agents don’t know nor care to know how to read, let alone how to ask for a passport.
If you are approached suspiciously by men in black, have your gun at the ready.
So due process is no longer a thing.
Got it.
Hey Maga when Trump turns this on you and you piss and moan about no due process… My response will be this
🖕
Do you know how long it would take to try the cases of the 77.3 million people that voted for him?
Go right ahead and set that precedent, please.
They’re already complaining. The Gestapo has already started picking up MAGAts and their wives.
Let me know when this starts happening.
The US CAN, you fucking asswipe. You don’t WANT to.
You are like a petulant child, only caring about what you want, you narcissistic prick.
Holding trial for the millions of people Trump wants to deport runs the very real and obvious possibility that not all the judges will rubber-stamp the deportations. In fact, you might start running into judges who deliberately obstruct the process because they have a visceral disgust for the practice of mass deportation.
Can’t have that, because the goal is to ethnically cleanse the country. Once Trump decides deporting people to El Salvadorian death camps is too difficult / expensive, we’re going to start seeing them spring up all over the interior of the country as well.
Key words there being “it wants to deport”.
The problem isn’t the trials, it’s the selection criteria.
That’s such a coincidence. Some guillotining could be done without trials too!
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
That’s metal af.
*should
Some guillotining should be done without trials too.
Add it to the list of impeachable charges, we will give orange man a trial regardless.
Imagine impeachment actually being relevant.
You forgot his first term didn’t you? Lol
A record of what happened > nothing
Records don’t mean shit when the ruling party is actively destroying records of things they don’t like. History is written by the victors, and it’s happening in real-time right now.
History is written by the victors, and it’s happening in real-time right now.
I am not declaring them the victors yet.
Cool. Records. Awesome.
Impeachment is not an exclusive thing. Other avenues are still valid?
Wow! Imagine all the grandstanding that people will do with “records of what happened” while hoping that people vote differently next time!
I don’t have all the answers, but isn’t it obvious if the choice is Impeachment without removal vs no Impeachment? And the whole without removal isn’t even guaranteed.
Articles of Impeachment need to be filed every week, add to the list of charges each time because there is plenty new every week.
Impeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
Just a pull of an index finger.
I thought this was how he was elected.
Yeah, Elon and Bezos really need that money for important things. Like to fake sending plastic millionaires into space
Then we should reform our immigration policy so we can tax them right? That’s the only carrot on a stick I think they conservatives might take.
They do pay taxes. This weird myth that immigrants somehow all live and work in the US for free is silly. They pay income tax if they work, they pay sales tax when they buy things, they pay property tax if they own a home or help someone financially who does.
Uh oh.
Lol.
America the brave is sitting by while a fat, orange felon rapist shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy.
Whattt? Is Trump saying that the US of A, the “greatest” country in the world, can’t engage in its secondmost favourite activity which is literally suing people?
Not picking favourites, but the Biden administration, not even the Clinton administration, had this “skill issue”.
