brazenly

Why is the press continuously using wording that makes this pig sound like an anti hero of some sorts?

Call him for what he is now, a dictator

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I chose to infer its usage as "of a quality similar to a brazier." Because he's as dumb as a lamp.

A democracy officially becomes a dictatorship when the executive starts disobeying the legislative branch.

The US is on the knife's edge, and starting to fall on the wrong side of history.

And the price of eggs still hasn't come down...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

It is not on the knife edge. It has already begun the swift descent to horrible shit. The question here is if the courts will claw back a small piece of decency. My bet is no, but my hope is yes.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

But wait, rednecks can beat brown people without repercussions right?

Becauae honestly, that's all that matters in the end.

But hey the Gulf of Mexico is now American.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Visited the gulf earlier this year, literally reeks of death- has never recovered from BP's monumental 'oopsie' deepwater horizon in 2010. For this reason alone, I think the rebrand kinda fits.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then it should have been renamed "Gulf of British Petroleum."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Gulf of Pemex

Honestly I welcome the extermination. It might be better this way.

If you see ICE doing a kidnapping you can legally hit them with your car.

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I feel like people who are targeted by the ice gestapo and bystanders need to understand that this the kidnapping is likely a death sentence and respond accordingly.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago

If you’re about to be kidnapped and sent to your death, might as well attack your abductors.

You’re gonna die either way.

Send the Marshalls to arrest trump. Or lose all your beloved power, SJC.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You arrest the head of the DoJ. And any agents trying to protect him by the sheriff of whatever town they are in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Then they accidentally fall down an elevator shaft on the way to county jail

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No need. Trump has immunity, but nobody else does. Lock them up in increasing numbers until they start obeying the law.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

“It is my official act as president to not comply with court orders. This power was granted to me by the courts.”

🤔

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Haven't you heard? Presidents are immune to the law. The Supreme Court said so. And since the DOJ is run by Trump sycophants any arrest order for someone in the administration will be ignored. Just like getting this guy from El Salvador will be.

The Supreme Court had a chance to rein in a possible second Trump term when they took the presidential immunity case and they fucked themselves for a couple dollars instead. Now we all reap the horrors they have sowed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s not guaranteed. The Marshalls ARE the enforcement mechanism for the courts. So the court needs to issue the order, and then the Marshalls have a decision to make.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If the court deputizes someone since a DOJ Marshall won't follow orders, is that new deputy under the DOJ or under the court?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It would be HIGHLY unusual for the courts to deputized anyone for this sort of thing. What authority would that individual even have?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

The same authority as a marshall as far as I know.

They can do it if needed.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Court they'd only deputize someone they trusted anyway

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You do not understand the GOP base (ie southerners).

It doesn't matter if their family is taken, tortured and killed.

The only thing that matters is that brown people know, beyond any doubt, that they are beneath the lowest inbred redneck.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Trump's base is not "southerners." Trump won a whole bunch of midwestern and mountain states too, and even in the south Harris only lost by single-digit percentages.

Trying to scapegoat the south while ignoring the fascists in your own state is both bigoted and unhelpful. Do better.

The way i’m reading this - Trump is unable to do so because the US is now weak and feeble.

Clinton, Obama, Biden, maintained our geopolitical strength and would have exercised it.

(this ignores the fact that none of the prior presidents were nazis)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Nope, that's the nonsense argument the administration is trying to push in court right now, but they're lying like usual. The US could get this man back from El Salvador with a phone call but they're choosing not to do so, continuing a long tradition of giving nonwhite people crappier legal process and fewer substantive rights that goes back continuously through several presidents. It would be great if the US was weak and feeble and unable to do things like carry out the murder of our own citizens overseas via drone strike like we did in 2011 or provide an endless stream of weapons to Israel to support the genocide they've been carrying out since 2023, but unfortunately America still has one of the most lethal fighting forces in the world.

Lock him up!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't understand this at all. This has been days and days and days. Why isn't there a plane in E.S. with people banging on the prison door to get this guy?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Because he is dead. They put him in gen pop 3 weeks ago.

The courts already knew about him and had previously refused to deport him because he was a target for gang violence.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, we all know he's dead, but where's the push to go there and make them acknowledge it? Half of Congress is ok just pretending that he's ok and waiting for... for what?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

That half of Congress isn't waiting for anything. They don't care.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

This is the real problem. The Democratic party should whole heartedly be calling for his return, but they fucking suck.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because the people who run those planes don't care what happens to non-white people

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Because the entire republican base care very much what happens to non-white people, they need to be taught a lesson to never 'get uppity' in front of their betters again.

Betters in this case being the product of centuries of sibling rape, with a literacy rate on par with pre-school ers.
