So does that make it official that the courts have no power and Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants? Have they called time of death for America yet? Get it overwith.

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

Did anyone really expect differently?

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

Hey I've seen a movie recently that has a won an Oscar for best foreign movie about this

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is it bcz the prison is actually a death camp and he isn't alive TO BRING back? It's as simple as putting him on a damn plane.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

They refused to even show then to the reporters.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

At this point, I am calling it. He is dead.

The DOJ has walked itself into a corner. They say they are trying (which is a good faith argument keeping them out of contempt)but also say the courts can't make them(this implies thay are not in good faith trying and should land them in contempt). If Xinis doesn't hold the DOJ in contempt after today then you can kiss checks and balances goodbye.

This is a very loose analysis by a guy who handles mostly medical malpractice and only knows what he has read in a couple of articles so don't take my word for it.

Edit: does to doesn't

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

Yeah, I mean how do we know they didn't just kill ALL these guys as soon as they got off the plane?

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

I think they just don't want him in front of cameras. Because they'll come off like the Stasi.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I think he's dead too.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

While dead is definitely possible, my thoughts are on brutally injured and they don't want anyone to know.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I worry more about human experimentation. Particularly in regard to Musk and Meta's brain implants. Neuralink is a dangerous way to direct technology and I completely believe that's these evil fuckbags ultimate goal.

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

I don't they care if people know that the prison brutally injures people. In fact, that is kind of the point of sending people to that specific prison and people know that. If he is dead, that is a little different.

All the second amendment freaks are suddenly awfully silent. Wasn't this the exact scenario the 2A was intended for? To fight against wannabe kings?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This 2nd Amendment "freak" (leftist, too) fully realizes that the day I fire a firearm upon the government, I've declared war on said government. Unless I've a sizeable portion of the populace organized beside me, I'm gonna get squished like a cockroach under the heel of a boot.

I have others who depend on me for food and shelter. If I get squished, they lose that.

When the government has taken everything from me, then I'll have nothing left to lose.

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

As I've said time and time again, me standing up for what's right doesn't matter if I'm standing alone, because then I'm just some lone nut job dead in the street, that nobody will pay attention to.

Organized resistance is effective resistance. Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Every day the regime reminds us why organization is important.

long live luigi.

Just in case doesn't mean I actually wanted to use them, I've got a transition to finish, I'm trying to fucking make it to Canada if I gotta.

I just think dying in a gun fight sounds better than going to a camp is all.

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

Can we start accepting trans people as refugees, yet? It's Super dangerous for some people to just be alive in America right now, and that smells like a refugee situation to me.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The second amendment freaks never wanted to topple an oppressive government, they wanted to shoot their neighbors that they don't like. All that talk was just cover for "I'm a giant pussy with no social skills who can't be trusted to be part of the social contract."

Why do you think The Walking Dead was so popular? They get to pretend all their neighbors are "zombies" that they have every right to kill because they consider them (us) as unthinking monsters. It's always projection.

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

There’s also the selfishness of them wanting to protect themselves from the government but not other people.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I'm with you until the second paragraph, lmao there are plenty of Walking Dead fans that are not gun nuts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's possible for multiple different groups of people to be fans of the same thing for different reasons.

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

Except Snot drew that line.

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

No, he didn't. He said, effectively, that "second amendment freaks are Walking Dead fans." That does not imply the reverse, that "Walking Dead fans are second amendment freaks."

All pines are trees. Are all trees pines?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They implied that it was popular because of gun nuts, meaning they were at the very least the majority of fans. Just seemed like a weird implication to me when, in my experience, that wasn't really true.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

no consequences means laws dont matter. the orange piece of shit can do whatever the fuck he wants

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Can't wait for some overpaid and overeducated shithead at the New York Times to get all "Ah ah ah, it's not a constitutional crisis yet you dirty plebs! They didn't say they're defying the court order, they said they're interpreting it, and we have no choice but to take that completely obvious bullshit at face value because that's how patriotic journalists talk about the leader of the free world."

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

Not sure I understand what the new York times has to do with this story at this time, why don't lemmings wait to see what's written before leveling criticism at them?

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

Because they've been shit tier journalism and the handmaidens of human rights atrocities since at least Iran-Contra. They used to be good back in like the 60s and their insane amount of resources they can throw at stories means occasionally they get an interesting scoop, but their editorial board are a bunch of mendacious pricks who will throw marginalized people under the bus and help the rich and powerful sweep dirt under the rug for access.

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

So why don't you quote those problems rather than putting words in their mouths?

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

I don’t think “over educated” is the right word. I lean toward “poorly educated regarding history and the other humanities.”

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Eh, fair, I definitely don't want to trash the value of a real genuine education, but I am sick to death of these arrogant idiots who just memorized a bunch of neoliberal ideology and justifications for empire at bullshit ivy league schools and then act like they deserve their giant platforms and paychecks
