Sic Semper Tyrannis!

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

As someone outside the US, I was told that people were very keen on keeping lots of guns to react in case the government tried to pull this kind of shit. When's the part where they react?

I'm sarcastic; I know why it isn't happening, and realistically it would be a terrible thing, but, you know, we're living in the weirdest time.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I knew it - to the qons, the Constitution is just something they like to talk about, but don't really care about.

A hearing is part of deportation.

Without Due Process it's literally just human trafficking, which is a felony in every single state.

[–] TON618@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he's very much aware if it's importance.

"Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial" can be freely translated to "nobody would get deported".

Curious if this argument also works for other situations? "I didn't file my taxes, because it would take too long".

"Trump can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but Trump cannot fool all of the people all of the time."

Which stage are we at now? Have enough people been fooled yet?

How about... We can not give every tax to US that it wants to collect, there is just too many.

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Well yeah, why do you think the billionaires don't pay taxes? Can you imagine counting out all those millions? Just easier to skip them, they give enough as it is already. /s

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 47 points 1 week ago (4 children)

It literally has too. It’s in the constitution.

[–] Orangutanion@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

We passed that point when we ignored the 14th amendment.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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".

[–] Fiki_Fiki@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Easier to ask for forgiveness, than permission.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

But the constitution gives me constipation. Currently, the Constitution is just toilet paper under Trump bum.

And I am le tired.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] goldfndr@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

All their bases aren't belong to them.

For example, Greenland, Diego Garcia and Okinawa are all leased.

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 5 points 6 days ago

Main screen turn on !

[–] Treetrimmer@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't follow all of the laws of this country, there's just simply too many of them

[–] dabailli@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago

If you only consider the ones that are followed, it’s a bit easier

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago

Then you can't deport, numb nuts.
