If there was life on it, it would be very different than anything we know of.

8 times as massive as earth. Hydrogen rich exosphere, only trace amounts of water vapor.

"Palantir Gotham" is their project name.

Come on, you couldn't be more ominous if you tried.

They are stupid. It's required for fascism to fascist.

It's because they are stupid it makes them dangerous. They will say "NO I AM RIGHT!" when the obvious answer sits in front of them.

They JUST DON'T CARE.

Don't give them credit for a "well thought our plan." This regime will destroy itself, with or without resistance. Look at Putin's Russia. When he dies, there will be a massive power struggle and no one knows what the fuck will happen.

That's because fascism relies on the "Mythic Truth."

Their "Truth" supersedes reality. Most of the time they don't give two shits about evidence. What they can't stand is being told "no" or "shut up you're being an asshole" or "fine, if you won't do the right thing, I will."

Well, if you end up in a gulag you either did something right or not enough.

No - bounty hunters are specifically for people who skip on their bail, and are hired by private companies. They do not have the judicial authorization to use force. There is no "dead or alive" because of a bounty can't be brought in, the bail bondsman loses money.

A deputized marshall has the legal protection of the state to use force to apprehend the warranted. Its rarely used because it's a powerful tool.

Are you saying I can't fix my ugly?

Well, there were 5.2m people protesting in one day.

The judges have the authority to deputize number of people required to carry out an arrest warrant in the case of contempt.

I am willing to bet that out of 5.2m there are at least several hundred thousand willing to assist with that.

I don't think it's weird - we're used to seeing the rich and powerful get away with everything.

But it is boring. And time consuming. Something that the judges admit themselves.

We also do need that same energy, because even if the courts deputize and enforce contempt, there will be resistance to it.

That ONLY protects the president, and only from crimes he commits as official acts.

Now, we all know the mental gymnastics the GOP can do are impressive, but ignoring a court order is not an official act.

The deportation itself? That's the act that he's immune from.
