What could be more snowflakey than to indict someone for throwing a sandwich!?❄️
It's such an absurd statement that it's almost a taunt.
I find her assertion that Trump is a "perfect gentleman" to be laughable and absurd. By his own admission and countless examples, we know he is anything BUT a gentleman. Why would she make this unprompted statement?
Louis XIV (Versailles) and Russian Czarist vibes
Because slavery wasn't really that bad??? There we have it. Absolute proof of his racism for his apologists. Mind you, they must think the same thing.
So the whole Russia Russia Russia thing was obviously a hoax, right? Because why would anyone think Trump and Putin would work together??
This would be a great opportunity for teachers to create lesson plans about "adultery": first, definitions, then examples from real life. Famous people would be excellent examples, and teachers could show videos and play audio of "Dear leader" committing adultery and speaking of sexual assault.
It seems rather snowflakeish to charge someone with a felony for throwing a sandwich.
Versailles...Does he think of himself as Louis the XIV reincarnated? The "Sun King?"
I live in NC, which is already gerrymandered. After all these states have gerrymandered the opposing party out of relevance, our country's elections become pretty much meaningless. As Yeats said, "... Things fall apart; the center cannot hold..."
Having the 10 commandments in class would be a great teaching opportunity. I always taught with examples, so there would be plenty of resources for the adultery commandment. First you'd have to define adultery (having sex outside of marriage). Then you could simply use the President as an example.
No one can trust government data from now on. Who would invest in such a climate?
Blanche is Trump's lawyer. It's a blatantly corrupt attempt to silence Maxwell re Trump and perhaps throw accusations toward Trump's political enemies.
One thing I've noticed about the fight for civil rights, whether for women or black people, is that we never say WHOM we have to fight. We are always fighting conservatives, mostly men but plenty of women. It's conservatives who steal people's rights. We should be more clear about that.
Everyone who voted for him knows he is a sexual predator. Very little of the Epstein revelations are new. MAGA people already know and don't care. They already accepted the card as being a fake, even though I'm sure the WSJ checked the source thoroughly.
I have known about all of this for years... Except the birthday card. I presumed MAGA knew but just didn't care. How could they not know?
Exactly. None of this is new except the card. I have known about all of this for years.
I really really wish Obama would sue him for defamation. I wish he had fought him legally over the birther lie.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
When Donald Trump came down the Golden escalator and declared that immigrants are "rapists and murderers," he was seeding the public for a relentless propaganda campaign that allowed every racist to blame immigrants for whatever was missing in their lives. It's an old playbook. It works.
There's a very good reason why the southern border is secure now. No one wants to come here anymore. We're not a "shining city on a hill" but a dark dystopia of cruelty.
It's a criminal offense to deny due process and to inflict cruel and unusual punishment. It's also illegal to defy the courts.
People who care about what's "legal" should know that it's ILLEGAL to deny any person due process. It's ILLEGAL to inflict cruel and unusual punishment. And using mosquitoes and alligators as enforcement officers most certainly qualifies as "Cruel and unusual punishment."
People who seemingly care about the law don't seen to care that ICE breaks the law EVERY TIME they assault someone without due process. They are also breaking the law by keeping human beings in sub human conditions. Read the 5th, 8th, and 14th amendments.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
I couldn't find a single article about it.
I couldn't find ONE article about the MILLIONS of us who protested yesterday. Really? WTH?
Have any Republicans ever read the Constitution? Do they have any concept of separation of powers? They SWORE an OATH to it, ffs.
Jeffries' words are correct, but his tone sounds like he's discussing a weekend picnic. What would anyone do if a violent mob were breaking the glass and entering their house or place of work?
Wow! So it's even worse than being ignorant. He was mocking both of them.
Psychopathic.
Ummm let's see. What's the difference? Well, one is for all Americans and the other is for Trump only, so......
The language is ridiculously mild. This is a clear case of ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION!
The Democratic response to every outrage is..."Just imagine if Obama did this!" But the response SHOULD be the same outrage Republicans would have if a Democrat did it! Scream! Shout! Go on Fox news! We the People are trying, but we need our leaders to try!!
"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the U S: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." No quid pro quo mentioned!
The Constitution does not even mention quid pro quo.
It's unconstitutional. Period.
EXACTLY!! I'm so sick of the normalization of utter outrage!!
They have been planting the word "invasion" in the MAGA mind for years. This is why. But crossing a border to save your family is not a hostile act by a foreign government. And any decent lawyer would be able to make this case.
Seriously? Does anyone really wonder why?
Trump wants to suspend habeus corpus because we're being "invaded." The right wing has planted this word in the MAGA mind to describe immigration. But the definition intended is hostile invasion by a foreign govt, not refugees or people seeking a better life. Dangerous word distortion!
So wanting to see an ICE facility is worse than killing thousands of people by crashing FOUR planes? What the actual f?
He's from a family of refugees. Disgusting.
I agree. I have watched journalists speak of the unthinkable in reasonable voices... Even with smiles on their faces, when we should all be SCREAMING in outrage.
Masked thugs violently kidnapping people should be an outrage to everyone.
Deeply saddened that the ENTIRE TEAM at NCI PDQ Cancer Information has been eliminated. Our evidence-based summaries were updated throughout the year with the latest research and supported informed decision making between clinicians & patients with cancer across the US. 🇺🇸
It doesn't matter whether anyone "agrees" with the Constitution. We either have a country or we do not Without the Constitution, we are a lawless anarchy.
It's not just the tariffs, it's also the bullying!
He's a cheater.
So why should we trust it? At all?
Without the Constitution, there's no such thing as the rule of law. A President who doesn't know if he is supposed to follow the Constitution doesn't give a crap about law and order.
You are a hero!
Well, shouldn't he be happy with just a couple of mansions with golf courses?
You can't "preserve" the Constitution if you break it. This should be yet another impeachable offense.
We will all start shopping at yard sales and goodwill and habitat, etc
I watched the stock market respond in real time to his stupid tariff announcements. Do not let him get away with this crap.
Given that we watched the stock market react in real time to his stupid tariff pronouncements, this is just more evidence of his colossal mendacity.
Here are some more you can add: Aiding & supporting an enemy (Russia) Kidnapping of lawful residents Violation of 8th amendment (cruel and unusual punishment in El Salvador) Putting national security in danger by weakening alliances & failing to punish leaks of classified information
Congratulations from a resister!!
I hope you win. Canada needs a strong advocate who will push back against fascism. The only reason Trump hasn't been threatening you in the past few weeks is so that your opponent can win. Good luck!
And practically everything they are doing is anti-constitutional.
What exactly does Russia give up?
I have one question for her, Trump, and for every single Republican. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?"
There's a huge difference between deporting someone to their home country and throwing them into a concentration camp/torture gulag.
Who could possibly have predicted this?
How is it ok to send any human being into a torture camp with no hope of release? And especially without due process? It is most definitely worth fighting for because we're talking about the Constitution, and more than that, decency.
Is that real?
This government seems not to understand the purpose of due process. They keep alleging that Abrego Garcia is a "terrorist" and wife beater and thus does not deserve due process. But the only people who NEED due process are people accused of crimes!!
I'm amazed that anyone thinks it's ok, but I guess that's why we have the Constitutional forbidding of "cruel and unusual punishment.". Because some people love inflicting cruelty on others, and unfortunately, they are in power.
I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:
Here's what the conversation should be in my opinion. "Is he a person?" "He's a terrorist." "Is he a person?" "He's a gang member." "IS HE A PERSON?"....."yes". "Then he has the RIGHT to due process, according to our Constitution, the one all elected people swore to uphold. PERIOD."
Thank you. We must all stand up for the Constitution. Every single member of Congress swore and oath to uphold it. And Due process is specifically deliberated in amendments 5 and 14.
Anyone who thinks this is fine is a fascist.
What kind of person would send ANY human being into a torture center? 75% have no record of crime at all! It's clear. The people who love this are psychopathic sadists. They're unabashed fascists. And we should call them what they are.
Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
"When Caesar says, 'Do this,' it is performed." Mark Antony in Julius Caesar, Act I, scene ii
I would never send a human being into a torture center in the first place.
Does she get to prosecute, judge, and sentence people too? WTF?
Imagine feeling happy when you create WORLDWIDE pain and anxiety.
Some people just made a lot more money.
This is a big game to him. All he has to do is signal to his buddies what he's going to say next, and they can buy and sell stocks at exactly the right time to make a fortune. While jerking us around and gloating about it.
60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5
Trump: For $5 million, this can be yours. It's the first of the cards. You know what that card is? It's the gold card. The Trump card. Reporter: Who's the first buyer? Trump: I'm the first buyer. Reporter: Who's the second? Trump: I don't know...it will be out in 2 weeks. Anyone want to buy one?
This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown
I cried and cried. He allowed me to grieve for what we have lost but gave me so much hope. He's 10 x the man of those so called self declared "alphas."
I want him to be our President!
You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
In JD Vance's Instagram account, the first word in his bio is "Christian." Well, there's a word for this, and it isn't "Christian," it's "sadistic."
There's a word for revelling in the misery of others, and it isn't "Christian."
Wasn't his father a refugee who fled from a totalitarian regime? And now he's kidnapping people who are here legally because they dare to express a controversial opinion in an oped?
In a few short months, Trump has made enemies of our allies.
Not only are we deterring immigrants, we are alienating the entire western world. No one will want to come here, either as an immigrant or a tourist or a visiting professor or Doctor or scientist.
This was the first thing I noticed.
If an unidentified man approached me like that, I would fight. Isn't self defense legal?
Attack plans can be even worse, according to a general, because they describe an imminent situation. War plans are theoretical and change with circumstance.
Of course they are.
Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.
If I were a Houti, I would be trying to find out how we knew all about the man's girlfriend and that he would be there at a certain time.
And another question. How did we know this Houti leader was going to his girlfriend's house at that time?
If I were a Houti who saw these texts, I would: Immediately put all leaders into high security places... Revise all movements. Put defense systems on high alert for the weapons described. Also, would try to find out how US knows about terrorist's girlfriends' locations. This may compromise spies.
