In other words, Trump says he can deport anyone he wants without trial.
Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you. And even then, that might not protect you.
Better still, avoid travelling in the US and hope the Americans can reclaim their country from Trump and his merry band of fascists.
I haven been to the US since the end of 2019.
I’m a citizen, but live abroad with my wife. I will be visiting my family this fall and I’m so happy my birth certificate is here. I’m totally bringing it with me just to be safe.
Is your wife from a background that could be remotely linked to something “bad” by crazy radicals?
that basically boils down to being from any part of the world that constitutes as Brown, Socialist, Controlled by China, or Controlled by Europe, in the Radical’s view.
She’s not joining me on the trip. We debated about it while Biden was still in office and mainly decided that I’d just be catching up with friends and family and her getting a visa and a plane ticket is too costly and time consuming.
After current events, it was a no brainer.
You should probably also make sure to have a copy at home in case they take it from you
Won’t work. That kind of evidence would be presented at a trial. For your average ICE agent, your documentation, and lack of criminal record makes it obvious that you have ties to a powerful street gang who is hiding your crimes.
This is literally what ICE has argued in the past few months.
Yeah. They literally said that that the lack of evidence is actually the evidence, and that it is proof of a hyperintelligent criminal who has lead a life of crime without ever being caught. And that is why they have no criminal records… because they are criminals who haven’t been caught yet!
Better make sure you always have your passport and birth certificate on you.
Won’t save you from an ICE that’s happy to tear them up and deport you anyway. This isn’t a legalist regime. Residential “legality” is just a talking point to justify totalitarianism.
If you believe a piece of paper is going to be a shield against a bunch of thugs with guns, you’re going to be in for a hard and sharp awakening when people you know and love end up on the next round of deportation lists.
ICE agents don’t know nor care to know how to read, let alone how to ask for a passport.
If you are approached suspiciously by men in black, have your gun at the ready.
Whattt? Is Trump saying that the US of A, the “greatest” country in the world, can’t engage in its secondmost favourite activity which is literally suing people?
Not picking favourites, but the Biden administration, not even the Clinton administration, had this “skill issue”.
Be careful, “greatest” has never been a good match with USA. Never. My ears hurt when I hear that.
I think everyone in this thread needs to re-watch the scene where Littlefinger and Cercei discuss power.
Impeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
He’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
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
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.
3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
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
Impeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.
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
Just a pull of an index finger.
I thought this was how he was elected.
Uh oh.
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. 🤷♀️
It’s done.
BUT… some of the more sane sympathizers are starting to realize the King is insane, and are pushing back. Not saying that’s going to save us peasants. but it’s a sign.
They said he was insane the first time around when he called Kim Jong Un ‘rocket man’.
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.
Source: career in the developing world. Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it only took one day to sack it it ruin.
Expiring contract? You got traded to El Salvador for a 3rd round pick in 2048 and cash considerations.
Time to get a new agent for a real contract. Unions won them to begin with, which is why they’re a main target of every authoritarian regime.
And our social contract may be expiring
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.
Then we should reform our immigration policy so we can tax them right? That’s the only carrot on a stick I think they conservatives might take.
They do pay taxes. This weird myth that immigrants somehow all work live and work in the US for free is silly. They pay income tax if they work, they pay sales tax when they buy things, they pay property tax if they own a home or help someone financially who does.
Then you can’t deport, numb nuts.
Key words there being “it wants to deport”.
The problem isn’t the trials, it’s the selection criteria.
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.
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.
Thanks Obama for cutting the number of immigration judges. /s
Biden something something…
George Soros! Why is a billionaire manipulating the government?
He didn’t. But the guy who did already knew you’d blame him. This old turtle of a man knew it he denied nearly all Obama judicial appointments no one would come after him. They’d just blame Obama. No one gets how the government works and they blame the president for anything and everything.
Thanks Obama!
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
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.
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.
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?
Cool. Records. Awesome.
Impeachment is not an exclusive thing. Other avenues are still valid?
Articles of Impeachment need to be filed every week, add to the list of charges each time because there is plenty new every week.
Death to Kings.
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.
