Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Let's see:

  1. Judge is a woman
  2. Is an Obama appointee
  3. From a blue state
  4. Has no enforcement mechanism
  5. is ordering someone with all-but-total immunity
  6. is ordering someone who has already ignored or defied multiple court orders with total impunity

I'm sure Trump will get right on this one.....

And that doesn't even take into consideration the claims that the Trump administration has made saying they have no method of getting these people back even if mistakes are made. Now that of course is scary for about 8,268,458 other reasons, and could also be made up BS. But I would not be the least bit surprised if he was right, and the deal is just to ship them to El Salvador and let them get lost in the system. You think some El Salvador authorities are going to even try finding him in a sea of 80,000 or so other prisoners who will all claim to be him if it means getting the fuck out of there? And that's assuming he's even still alive.

Isn't that cute.

Well now that the supreme court basically appointed Trump as king, this decision might as well be drowned in the toilet because our madman of a president is now unimpeded.

Edit: 🔗 By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court HALTS a district court order requiring the Education Department to pay out more than 100 grants to public schools and universities that the Trump administration canceled.
