If the Trump admin isn’t obeying judicial authority, then judicial action wouldn’t be very effective. What they need is a large mass of people to coordinate and assemble. If you’re not providing that, then you’re part of the problem.

“Intention” is a strange word to use here. The generals who were stealing and reselling military supplies weren’t doing it accidentally, but they might not have expected the impact it would have.

I’m sure their TOU moves all risk and liability to the users, so if anyone is getting sued, it’ll be the users.

The more likely outcome is that Plex just loses most of their users, since pirates (the majority of Plex users) won’t be willing to pay to access the content they already pirated.

Pure DHMO is actually pretty inert. It’s only once you add ions of sodium (a highly reactive metal) and chlorine (a highly toxic gas) that it starts damaging metal.

I’ll just change my web browser’s user agent then; you’re a fucking website, you don’t need to know which OS I’m using.

It’s amazing how many “unsupported” web apps work perfectly fine once you change the UA. It’s often a completely arbitrary limitation so that they can hire less qualified support staff.

Nothing personnel, kid.

I'll assume you're commenting in good faith despite the absurdity.

You're missing the point: the human rights abuses are a huge issue, but the prisoners shouldn't be there. ~100 men were sent to a maximum security prison without getting a trial and based on unproven claims. The government literally admitted that they shouldn't have sent Abrego Garcia there, but he's still sitting in prison and the government claims there's nothing they can do to get him out. Whether or not that's true, it means that anyone (including you) could get life in prison based on a mistake, which is especially likely to happen when there's no due process. You should genuinely be scared for your own well-being.

Implying that the NDP wasn’t elected due to their leader being a visible minority is either disingenuous or very misinformed. There are of course bigots in Canada, but most Canadians aren’t bigots.

Mrow?!

Are you saying that Trump fulfilled more of his promises than Dems? He said he'd decrease the cost of living, but it went up. He said he'd bring manufacturing back to the US, but instead he's killing US manufacturers. Look at the fucking stock market. He didn't deliver on the promises that matter.

By your logic, Dems should keep doing what they're doing but make additional promises for random actions. "Well, they might not have fixed healthcare like they promised, but they did eat the 10 club sandwiches they said they would, so at least they're fulfilling most of their promises."

There’s also something called a “line of credit” which is basically a credit card with lower interest and no cash advance fee, but no rewards.

Obviously you don’t want to keep a balance on that either, but if you can’t fully pay off your credit card, you can at least save money by transferring the debt there.

The loaner must be getting something out of the exchange. If it’s not interest, then it’s collateral.

Promise things that won't happen and lie about why. Trump could do everything he's doing legally and constitutionally, but it would require changing the law and constitution, which wouldn't happen to the extent he'd need it to.

He's only doing the actions he promised, but not achieving the outcomes he promised; actions are easy, outcomes are hard. He said he'd tariff everyone and he did, but he also said the cost of living would go down and it actually went up. He said he'd mass deport immigrants and he did, but he also said dependence on social programs would decrease and it actually increased.

Trump/Republicans deliver on actions, Democrats deliver on outcomes. Because the outcomes depend on reality, the actions promised by Democrats are a lot less sexy and exciting.

It's really easy to make changes if you don't care about whether those changes are positive or legal; you can tariff every other country and deport everyone who looks ethnic, but that isn't actually benefiting the US. Democrats don't make those kinds of promises because their goal is to improve the US. So... Yeah, Democrats could do the kinds of stuff Trump is doing, but most Liberals wouldn't want that.

Why rewrite the rules when you can just not follow them in the first place?

That cat is clearly a ninja.

I never said that he didn’t deserve due process, and I specifically said that an incomplete protection order against him was not a justification for deportation.

The “picture” is the non-legal perception of the situation, which is subjective by definition.

Obviously her seeking that order still wouldn't justify deporting him, but that would paint a bit of a different picture if it's true.

The reverse is also true: Trump/MAGAs took credit for the stock market gains when Trump was first elected, but then blamed Biden for the stock market crash after Trump took office.

Basically MAGAs said that Biden ruined the economy but no one realized until after Trump started running the country. Schrödinger’s Recession, I guess.
