This was pretty obvious when it happened, but I remember the usual suspects around here were certain there must have been some other secret reason this student was abducted beyond penning an op-ed that was critical of Israel. Nope!

Didn’t see this live tonight, but looks interesting.

Trump didn’t miss it..

And coincidently, a CNN piece examining Trump’s 2.0 crackdown on dissent.
Donald Trump’s White House has a threatening message for anyone who might even be perceived to disagree with the president: Don’t. Or else.
Even though he has promised to end what he viewed as “weaponization” of the Department of Justice, Trump is treating people who disagree with him more like the “enemy from within” he talked about during the presidential campaign.
The president took the unusual step this week of issuing official proclamations ordering the federal investigations of people who worked in his first administration.
He’s demanding free work from law firms who represented his perceived enemies, threatening to impeach judges, deporting campus protesters and so much more.
The underlying message, for anyone who hasn’t put all these things together, is that dissent will not be tolerated under Trump 2.0.

Yeah, it’s interesting that our “conservative”
Posters have disappeared just a few months into season 2 of this show. I suspect that deep down, even they know Trump sucks. They just don’t want to admit that liberals, like you, were right all along.

I was in small town east-central Utah over the weekend due to a death in the family. It has been a few years since I've been in the area, but last time there were a bunch of houses draped in Trump regalia. I saw no Trump signs. No trucks dressed up for a MAGA flag parade. Nothing.
Remember they are our neighbors, unaware of their own power.
They picked the right time, but the wrong guy.

There needs to be accountability. They voted not once but twice for Trump. Their irresponsibility has led and will lead to more death, suffering, and loss of prosperity. Just think how many Ukrainians have died and will die because of Trump. MAGA thought Trump would only hurt brown and black people. Despite two impeachments, several crimes (including rape), and years of evidence of his unfitness for office, They insisted on touching the hot stove and by damn they need to have their ****ing hands and arms burned off so they either vote better or stop voting. Leave voting and governing to the civically responsible adults.
I’m all in for the upcoming depression. Americans voted for a clown now let’s get the full circus. Voters must feel the full consequences of their actions.

You should drive around with a “I could **** a better president” flag and see how they like it.
Tbh, the woman in my neighborhood who used to have a bunch of those flags and would drive to the local elementary church and to our church, has been pretty quiet lately. Again, deep down inside they know he sucks. They just don’t want to admit it. They thought Trump was just going to hurt the people they hated.

I think we’re there…..
The Constitutional Crisis Is Here
Trump’s administration is only pretending to comply with the Supreme Court on the matter of a Maryland man it deported erroneously.
www.theatlantic.com
The Trump administration is defying a Supreme Court order to retrieve a man it marooned in a Gulag abroad, while pretending to comply with it. What it could do to him, it could do to anyone. More significantly, if the Trump administration can defy court orders with impunity, and Congress is unwilling to act, there is no reason for it to respect the constitutional rights of American citizens either. The Roberts Court will now have to decide whether to side with the Constitution or with a lawless president asserting the power to disappear people at will. This is not a power that any person, much less an American president, is meant to have.

Today at the school a kindergartener was crying while telling me that her grandpa had to go to mexico and he can never come back to America.
It was heartbreaking

Of course we do. And so do the "conservatives". It's what they voted for. They're fascists. The "freedom" they keep talking about is them being free to ethnically cleanse the country, enforce their religion and deranged ideology on everyone, take away the vote from women, etc. IT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
Trump WILL try to remain in office if he's alive by the end of his term. His supporters will be fully on board. Every decent American should be prepared to actively resist by all means necessary.

The Roberts Court is siding with the US Constitution, and so is the Trump administration.I think we’re there…..

The weirdest aspect to this story is how Trump critics are cheering for authoritarianism, and against the rule of law, without realizing it.
The US Constitution is very clear on the separations of powers. The Judicial Branch, including the Supreme Court, has no say over foreign affairs. It is not in the court's allotted powers. Per the US Constitution, they have no voice on such matters. Trump critics want unelected judges to exercise power over Trump's handling of foreign affairs, and that is what makes Trump critics champions of authoritarianism. They want judges to be all powerful rulers who are immune from elections and can dictate anything.
The El Salvador citizen currently sitting in an El Salvador prison broke US law when he crossed the border illegally. The Executive Branch has the constitutional power to expel the criminal foreign national. Garcia's terrorist gang involvement is irrelevant, and a catch-22. The reason there was a prohibition against deporting Garcia to El Salvador was because there was a rival gang who tries to kill members of Garcia's gang. If Garcia isn't a member of the gang then he can be deported to El Salvador, and if he is a member of the gang then he's a designated terrorist who should be deported. Either way, the correct and lawful course of action is to deport the criminal foreign national. None of that is authoritarian.
It would be dangerously authoritarian for the judicial branch to order the executive branch to go overseas to El Salvador, take possession of the citizen of El Salvador, and bring him to the United States. Such an order would violate limits on jurisdiction and separation of powers which is why Robert's court didn't order that. Robert's order isn't a violation of the US Constitution, and Trump's administration doing nothing more than offering a free airline ticket back to the US if Garcia shows up at the US embassy in El Salvador to claim it also isn't a violation of the US Constitution or Robert's court order.
STOP CHEERLEADING FOR AUTHORITARIANISM!!!!
