  • Its funny, in a sad kind if way, how slow the courts are 99% of the time. But now that someone wants to invoke obscure laws that deport people without a trail, apparently the court is way too hasty to deny that privilege?

    Actually: Just fucking tell me why tren de aragua, a name I can’t spell and have never heard of, is such a threat that you can’t house their people in existing US prisons?

    You don’t deport criminals. We never have deported criminals. We jail them until they’re either sentenced and imprisoned, or an agreement is made to extradite them so they can be tried by their native country, or released with the understanding they can’t come back to America.

    This farcical bullshit should be called out and everyone in congress should be up their own ass trying to fix this problem. Trump is wrecking the economy and terrorising both citizens and non-citizens.


  • I think I know what the next entry in the playbook is. After a suitable amount of protests they will free Mr. García, but not allow him to come back to the United States. That still ruins his life because his family is in the US, so it’s right up their alley on cruetly.

    This will pacify a percentage of the protestors who will be tired and happy for a small win. It will “pacify” the courts, if they’re not already in on this play. The news will also step back because the see the story as concluded.

    We need to be demanding justice for all 200 deportees. I know they latched on to Mr. García because he’s innocent, but for all we know they are all innocent. We need to stay mad until they’ve all had a day in court.

    Honestly nothing short of an impeachment and conviction of this administration will restore my faith in this countries justice system.









  • I don’t remember any scenes in Mad Max where there was a happy rich person living in their perfectly intact mansion with servants and a well manicured lawn.

    The solution to this problem isn’t to ask a corrupt government to save you. They’ve already proven their word is worth jack by reversing policies of the previous administration. You should instead be trying everything possible to stop climate change. Including throwing money at the problem.

    Whatever’s left of society won’t care that you’re immune to lawsuits. People who have never seen a tomato don’t care if you worked hard to get your fancy stuff. They’re just hungry.





  • Its more than just foreign relations.

    The reason for continuous military, space, energy and other development isn’t just to push the state of the art, and its not just a jobs program. If you stop building things you forget how. You can still build something but it won’t be nearly as good because the people who learned the mistakes the first time around have all retired. Or in this case fired.

    We will have at least a 4 year gap when this is over.

    Switching gears, do you think infrastructure will be funded? Falling 4 more years behind in maintenance isn’t going to do any favors. This includes federally maintained dams and bridges, but also levees for storm protection near the coasts. Trump will throw you some paper towels after the next hurricane, then withdraw funding for FEMA.

    How about the EPA? Are they going to continue to handle superfund sites? No? Well you can expect some real problems from this to bear fruit in a couple of years. Lawsuits against manufacturers doesn’t bring your home value back, or stop the cancers.

    I’m mentioning these things because while people are seeing the damage done by alienating allies, and that is concerning to some, this doesn’t matter to trumps base, who have a particularly America centric viewpoint.

    People need to be aware that the problems he brings aren’t just foreign and that if something doesn’t change soon there will be nothing left of the America they knew.





  • Anyone who works directly for a Musk company should quietly start looking for another job.

    People in unions should strike right now. People who aren’t in unions should also strike, but I don’t expect miracles.

    This is the biggest asshole boss indicator. There should never be a situation where someone in power “jokes” about firing.

    He needs a very quick financial lesson in not fucking with his employees. One week of work stoppage across every company he owns should do it.


  • You’re strawmanning so hard. “The news I read doesn’t say that.” Is the context you’re missing.

    Of course I’m not an expert and neither are you. What’s your credentials? You’re a war reporter currently in Gaza internet trolling rather than writing an article? Of course not.

    Get the fuck outta here with your holier than thou shit. You’re so sure that I’m wrong and that Trump is somehow helping stop a genocide? When he called for America to take over the Gaza strip and remove all Palestinians? You really think Harris would have done that?

    It doesn’t matter if he’s an idiot and everyone knows he won’t do it… Unless he does. He’s still escalating the crisis.

    What are your plans for the next election? If both democrats and republicans are equally bad then who will you try to elect instead? You only have 4 years to plan this out and come up with a viable candidate, so if you’re not yet working on this I urge you to figure it out.
