Let me break this down:
Openly defying court orders multiple times= dictatorship Threatening to jail political opponents despite them being pardoned= dictatorship Deporting American citizens who have legal citizenship= dictatorship Can’t put it any simpler.
This is happening again and again: judges rule that deportations are illegal, then Trump’s people just kidnap the victim and deport them anyway. A whole lot of people were just deported to a prison in a foreign country whose government has said they will never be released. They will be slave labor for a foreign country until they die, and there was no trial, no due process, no evidence presented for their being guilty of any crime. It’s just the US government kidnapping people and trafficking them into slavery abroad, completely ignoring its own judicial system. The USA is already a dictatorship, and it only took a few weeks.
I mean, decades of sowing the seeds but a few weeks since they were able to solidify their power. I don’t think that’s unusual, seeing how quickly Germany fell to the Nazis.
Unusual maybe, but I wish it wasn’t so easy to accept it as just another part of history. I hoped we were better than this with all the new tech, but I guess old habits die hard. The new tech just seems to be a new tool they’ve been getting the hang of, and AI makes the dumbest sound less dumb to the ridiculously ignorant by choice. By so many choices I can’t fathom.
It’s time for armed resistance
Hey where was the motherfucker arguing they wouldnt deport legal people with me here? Huh? Where ya at?
They’re at the other goalpost, we just don’t know where it’s been moved right now
They literally don’t care. All they want is to win an argument against leftists in the moment; they actually see it as a weakness to be beholden to facts.
They’re playing a different “game” entirely, one where rhetoric is more important than reality.
This is getting uglier. Ugh
I just want to know when and how the nightmare will end
It could stop tomorrow if Americans had the courage.
By doing what?
And “Americans” you mean all 341 million people? All agreeing to do the same thing? Like your statement is so meaningless to the point of stupidity
It’s like saying "we could end global warmong if only Africans did something about it*
I know, which is why Americans are fucked. They don’t even have a shared history, let alone reality or morals. I mean, most Americans don’t know about how the police dropped bombs on Philadelphia in 1985, let alone even protest or start a riot over it. 341 million Americans agreed not to riot over that one.
I also struggle to see how “Africans are to blame for global warming” the same way Americans are to blame for their own countrymen’s actions.
EDIT - Just to add, I find it intriguing that you’re so quick to blame Africans for the sake of a strawman argument. Not a good look, kinda looks American.
Constitutional crisis time! Who’s ready to defend their rights and fight for democracy!
“I’ll stand peacefully on a sidewalk holding up a sign to defend democracy, so long as no harm comes to me.” - Americans
So what are we gonna do about it?
Watch in horror
Seems like a good couple million dollar lawsuit against the government, especially if done against a judge’s orders.
And then if the executive branch ignores that decision?
There needs to be another plan than let them battle it out on the courts if they ignore court orders.
I thought the executive branch didn’t control the budget, so wouldn’t really be able to block it. But I’m not American and don’t know the US system that well.
Don’t forget that the DOJ is using a new tactic… of requiring those that bring law suits against them to fully fund in advance the entire trial.
Lol
Maybe I’m being silly, but Canada paid $10.5 million to a Guantanamo Bay inmate because his rights were violated. So I guess at the very least we better make sure to advocate strongly for any Canadians caught up in this mess.
Yeah, that’s Canada. They don’t have a dictator in charge.
Deporting doctors, unbelievable.
Everything they do suggests the goal is just to ruin the USA and its (former) allies.
If only we could have foreseen this and prevented it somehow
I hope Trump’s Supreme Court are happy residing over a branch of government that no longer matters.
Whoever ignored that order should be held in contempt. You don’t just “whoopsie” a judge’s order.
