Right, and their President has no issues with jailing his own people there on made-up charges, or jailing whoever Trump tells him to jail for a fee.

The fact that neither of those things has happened means that both men see limits to their power.

Hey, at least these men (who had no criminal records) were just deported and weren't sent to CECOT or otherwise jailed. That's some progress. I guess?

“Upon further investigation … ICE was unable to identify an officer or officers who asked O.C.G. if he feared a return to Mexico,” said Brian Ortega, assistant field office director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, in a sworn statement to the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit.

That should say "future former assistant field office director", because he effectively quit his job when he made the decision not to perjure himself in defense of the Administration, even if he hasn't been formally notified yet.

Why should he care? He already has his own Pope.

Just give it up, she ain't coming back

I highly doubt that Jill is keeping a close personal eye on his prostate...

Hey, dont kink-shame....

I call for an investigation into whatever Kid Rock does that he calls "music".

Yup. For those who are not aware, they structured that district specifically so that all lawsuits filed in certain zip codes in Amarillo go to this guy. So any time they need a convenient MAGA cout ruling, they find someone in Amarillo to file the lawsuit over it.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”

Does this guy think Jill Biden has a medical degree? Her doctorate is in education. This is yet another case of a MAGAt showing how ignorant he is just by opening his mouth....

(Now that I read the link, it looks like this was Trump Jr, so the ignorance tracks....)

Are immigrant farm workers, who have accounted for many of the U.S. cases, more afraid to come forward for testing amid the Trump administration’s deportation push?

Bingo. Why bother getting treated, if it puts you on ICEs radar and you just end up dying in CECOT?

The real problem is Citizens United, which held that money is speech. As long as that ruling holds, we will be ruled by the ones with the most money.

And right now, that group is the TechBros who ran the right software at the right time in 2011 and are now sitting on a stash of crypto worth billions....

No, they'll continue to blame that on that vicious San Andreas gang. Pretty soon they will asserted that the gang is causing havoc all over California, literally ripping their cities in half....

It's so much more than the EC. The EC was really the best solution that they could come up with to elect a single person to run the Executive in a time where it was hard to hold statewide elections, much less a nationwide one. Senators were appointed directly by a State's legislature, and the President by electors appointed by the legislatures. This meant that the only Federal office that was directly voted on was Congress, making elections easier and much more local.

As long as elections were hyper-local, settling them based on a simple plurality of votes was practical, because it was also hard to coordinate nationally. The Founders did not want the same type of party-driven system they left in England. However, the big mistake was in keeping the FPTP voting after they switched to popular elections for Senate and the Presidency. That, coupled with better nationwide communication, directly contributed to out two-party system, and how backwards it is.

The two-party system directly contributed to America's sliding into fascism, when the only alternative to fascism is itself too drunk on campaign cash to let new blood into the system. But the primary issue is how throughly Trumpism has infiltrated the Republican Party, where they willingly give up their checks on the Executive and let him break laws with impunity. The Founders explicitly distributed power because they thought ambitious people would not give up power willingly. Today's Republicans are proving they were wrong.

Sorry, WaPo links will always be totally ignored by me until Jeff Bezos sells the thing to someone who cares about an independant press.

It's just like Harry Truman said, "The buck stops... over there.... with that other guy."

Can you get a passport?

You can get a passport card instead if you want, it has the added advantage of not having your address on it if you are that paranoid about leaking information to TSA

This is the way

He's such a stupid mother fucker.

In this case, quite literally. He has had at least 14 documented children with multiple women, and there are rumors of plenty of others.

It must be humiliating to be told "go fuck yourself" in 150 different languages
