  • Unironically the suffragettes should have campaigned for all people being allowed to vote.

    Unironically, the LGBTQ community should have campaigned for all marriages to be legal.

    BLM wasn't ALM because the movement was based on the horrendous rates of police violence and murder their communities have suffered. Yes, all lives do matter, but the point of the protest was how much black lives don't matter in the US.

  • Agreed. It's clear that our legal system doesn't have an answer for "vexatious litigants". I think we're far past the point where a panel of lawyers and judges need to look at any legal action he is taking and determine if it's sound legal theory before the lawsuit is accepted into the court.

    Like suing CNN for a poll. That never even should have made it to a Judge's desk.

    Frankly, I'd prefer if there was a wealth-based "deposit" required for appealing a ruling to a higher court, and I'd the case is ruled the same way or as meritless, the deposit is forfeited.

  • He’s juggling about a dozen knives right now.

    Knife juggler here. It takes way more coordination than what trump is capable of. He's just chucked a bunch of knives into the captive audience and is hoping that he will die or become a dictator before the lawsuits are complete.

  • I'm not attacking them to get them to join my side. I'm pointing out the absurd degree of ass-backwards caveman logic being used to justify letting trump have the presidency. Ultimately, I don't expect to convince anyone dumb enough to come out into public and argue your point, but I do intend to expose those people as short-sighted fools for getting us into this mess.

    You're not the goal, you're the playing field. The people who were on the fence and then didn't vote because of manufactured confusion about which candidate was going to be the best vote for Palestine are the target audience here.

  • That's because impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. Trump is inaccessible to the courts, but they should start holding DoJ and DHS lawyers and officials in contempt and have their marshals detain them.

    At the end of the day, trump is just a whiny demented full-grown-toddler giving orders. If his cabinet doesn't have the balls to 25th him, they should at least stop doing what he says.

  • No, actually 'Blue no matter who' quite literally would have prevented this, but a bunch of people decided that a protest vote over a genocide on the other fucking side of the fucking planet being done by a different fucking nation lead by a different fucking leader was a smart and morally correct move.

    Short-sighted single issue dipshits across the political spectrum enabled this, just in different ways.

  • That's the business model these days. ChatGPT, and other AI companies are following the disrupt (or enshittification) business model.

    1. Acquire capital/investors to bankroll your project.
    2. Operate at a loss while undercutting your competition.
    3. Once you are the only company left standing, hike prices and cut services.
    4. Ridiculous profit.
    5. When your customers can no longer deal with the shit service and high prices, take the money, fold the company, and leave the investors holding the bag.

    Now you've got a shit-ton of your own capital, so start over at step 1, and just add an extra step where you transfer the risk/liability to new investors over time.

  • Well, our rates of incarceration, treatment of PoC and indigenous populations should have landed us on the list long before trump took office the first time. I think what this shows is that the USA has completely pissed away it's soft power to the point where international organizations can include the the US without fear of retaliation.

  • Are you kidding? They're cheering this on. To them, this legal, documented and law-abiding man from El Salvador was part of a Argentinian gang sleeper cell. They're frothing at the mouth to send anyone who looks slightly Latino to a slave prison without due process. They consider this the greatest victory the USA has ever had. Finally they can be free from the tyranny of hearing "Spanish" in the USA.

    You wouldn't shut out your dream-come true right? These trump supporters have been convinced that there is literally an organized paramilitary invasion of the US happening at the southern border. They think anyone who might have come over that line is an enemy combatant seeking nothing but destruction of America.

  • A legal immigrant, a documented immigrant. Going through the legal process of becoming a citizen. Deported during the process despite following the rules. Sent to a fucking slave prison without a trial or hearing.

    Absolutely disgusting.

  • Demand that the daily budget + 10% for ICE is withheld every day until those prisoners are returned. None of those bootlicking thugs should get paid until these people are returned.

    Take the money confiscated, and distribute it evenly amongst the victims families.
