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. 🤷♀️

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’.

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?
You force the people who are breaking the system out.
My faith in the judicial system is the highest it’s been since February.
In other words, Trump says he can deport anyone he wants without trial.
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.
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.
Impeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
He’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
He didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed
Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
Republicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
Underlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
In each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
Oh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
One impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a “can you impeach an ex-president?” debate.
Iirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
Only two thirds of the senate
https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm
And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
That seems far more attainable
Just a pull of an index finger.
I thought this was how he was elected.
Key words there being “it wants to deport”.
The problem isn’t the trials, it’s the selection criteria.
It literally has too. It’s in the constitution.
But it takes too loooong!
That’s not the reason they’re avoiding it, the reason is that they can’t be sure that their case will be heard by one of their corrupt justices. They haven’t yet covered all their bases.
All their bases aren’t belong to them.
Main screen turn on !
For example, Greenland, Diego Garcia and Okinawa are all leased.
And I am le tired.
I don’t think you know the meaning of “has to”. The law, including the constitution, isn’t any more “real” than money. It only exists because enough people agree it does and follow it.
The fact people have literally already been deported without trial proves they don’t “have to”.
Trump and his lackeys also figured out that it’s easier to do something illegal and wait for courts to catch up than to try to get greenlighted beforehand
Easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission.
But the constitution gives me constipation. Currently, the Constitution is just toilet paper under Trump bum.
We passed that point when we ignored the 14th amendment.
Then you can’t deport, numb nuts.
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
Articles of Impeachment need to be filed every week, add to the list of charges each time because there is plenty new every week.
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.

I am not declaring them the victors yet.
Has any fascist regime outlived it’s dictator?
Kim Jong Un/Il. Most true monarchies of the past. Quite a few, sadly.
They’re not fascist. Certainly they’re authoritarian, but I don’t think any fascist governments have stood.
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.
how about we just skip all that and have the leftists in this country grow a pair and do the right thing?
“impeachment without removal” is just performative showoff. Without removal, they’d continue to do as-do, and they’d even feel more emboldened (if that was still possible).

If you only consider the ones that are followed, it’s a bit easier
A hearing is part of deportation.
Without Due Process it’s literally just human trafficking, which is a felony in every single state.

Lol.
America the brave is sitting by while a fat, orange felon rapist shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy.
The brave are exercising their freedom to be fucked
Yeah, Elon and Bezos really need that money for important things. Like to fake sending plastic millionaires into space

Are you saying the rocket launch was staged?
Idk for sure. It just seemed off. Like, it seemed like a big PR stunt. No pressurized suits or helmets, for a bunch of old ass siliconed up ladies, with no astronaut training. No frizzy zero g hair. Video of one of them falling down in zero g… The video of it landing at like twenty five miles per hour, and kicking up a ton of dust and then immediately after the ground shot with no dust still in sight. Then they opened the door early and then shut it, so Bezos could come open it with his special tool. And the door opened inward, as opposed to outwards like every other spacecraft or airplane designed to withstand that kind of pressure… I don’t understand what the purpose of faking it would be, and it seems stupid and conspiratorial, but it all just reaked of bullshit
a bunch of old ass siliconed up ladies, with no astronaut training
That’s because they’re not astronauts, they’re space tourists. You don’t need to train someone how to fly a rocket when the only machine they’re controlling is their seat belts.
No pressurized suits or helmets
That’s because the cabin remains pressurized and oxygenated.
And the door opened inward, as opposed to outwards like every other spacecraft or airplane designed to withstand that kind of pressure
That’s probably because they didn’t need to open the door in space, unlike almost every other spacecraft. It’s actually more secure to have it open inward when the pressure inside is higher than the pressure outside, since the pressure difference pushes the door closed rather than pushing it open.
Uh oh.
