  • Detaining migrants at Guantanamo denies them constitutional protections

    I have seen countless MAGA scum claim that "illegals" don't have rights because they are not citizens. As if only the US Constitution applies or is important.

  • They DO want to be like modern Russia, earnestly. The national chauvinism, the suppression of LGBT, the violence against women, the kleptocrat oligarchs running the show, the use of the Church as a political tool, the brutal wars of spoils...the list goes on.

  • A friend of mine, a lawyer, is very much a fence-sitter and thinks most of the alarm surrounding Trump is overdramatic.

    But even he had to admit that if the courts lose legitimacy like that in such a brazen way, the country is finished.

  • Enough of this. Nobody took him seriously in 2015 and we got what we got. You're not going to head him off by talking or not talking about him.

    Trump does not have a sense of humor or a long-term tactical mindset. He speaks whatever is on his incomprehensibly selfish mind. When he says over and over and over again that he could run for a 3rd term, he means it. When he says over and over and over again that he thinks Canada should be annexed, he means it.

  • A lot of these hypotheticals can be answered by "we'll just slaughter anyone who makes a fuss" because that's where our country's moral framework will be if we ever march troops across the border. Like an ultra nationalist fascist state is going to concern itself with old treaties and popular sentiments.

  • A key piece of context is that he recently had a Twitter spat with the head of the ISS program when Elmo suggested that the two "stranded" astronauts were kept up there for political reasons, and the better person called him on it. Leon, as he does, called him a stinky poopoo head, and this "decision" immediately followed all this.
