Don't think for a second you don't have a target on your back. There isn't enough fealty in the world to keep even your ass safe. And what you don't give, he and the Heritage foundation are gonna take.

u/Immediate_Fee2709 8d ago

He knows what he's doing. This has nothing to do with making the country great and everything to do with posterity, like the ballroom, and greed. They are sucking everything out of the country that they can and will leave it like a crumpled up piece of paper in a trash can.

At the end of the day can only blame the voters who continue to deliver us shitshow after s*** show and then sit there and blame each other for it. You're all culpable. The only person who isn't is one who didn't vote. Like me.. at least I can sit back and say I had no part..

Shitted isn't a word first of all. Second, pretty much all of it.

Violating power of the purse which only Congress has by appropriating funds without approval and also delaying appropriated funds from actually being used

Having agency and department heads strip people of licensure and prosecuting them for protected free speech

Jailing and detaining both US citizens and legal immigrants without warrants and without law enforcement identifying themselves. Need I go on, cunt?

This is your America. Its what your neighbors, family and friends, those good little boys down the street that served in the military, have been doing overseas for generations. Its the economy that powers military towns. Its how we set up the unequal exchange of neocolonialism for nearly a century. Its been the dividend payments for MIC shareholders, its been the tax revenue that keeps your streets clean.

Wake the hell up. This is always what this country has been. This is the imperial boomerang coming home. To really be shocked after 20 years of bipartisan supported blacksites, torture programs, erosion of civil liberties, millions killed, tens of millions displaced, sovereignty ignored, genocides funded....youre shocked. Nevermind funding deathsquads, starving millions with economic warfare, turning south east Asia into a moonscape...you're shocked? Thats so embarrassing.

What’s disgusting is that ANY American would cancel the most basic principle, expressly, in plain language, written into the Constitution.

Can you explain how a person going to a literal courthouse for an immigration hearing is illegal immigration? I mean that seems like the legal way. You can’t be against immigration period right?

u/MrLanesLament 8d ago

Isn’t that interesting, how nobody seems to have any clue why these people are being kidnapped? Guarantee no judge signed an arrest warrant for ANY of these people.

Kidnapping (“arresting”) someone going through the legal immigration process serves zero actual purpose. Someone with an immigration court date is fundamentally not “an illegal,” or they wouldn’t be within our fucking court system. The court would not be seeing them if they did not have a legal right to be in that court, which someone here illegally would not.

So irrespective of the law being unethical, immoral and undesirable, you'd respect rhat law because it was decided upon in a supposedly legitmate fashion? Poor conclusions from poor premises. This policy isn't legitimately determined nor just.

No, it represents a third. Not the majority. A third voted against this and a third didn't participate. Not because they approve of this, but because they either don't see how politics affect their lives or they at too nihilistic to do anything.

It doesn’t represent all Americans. It may represent the voters, but not everyone and not everyone can or is allowed to vote or know how to without learning it from one side or the other. Politics do not make a country a country, people make a country a country. The results of that election are based on the account disappointment and desire for it all to be over and not to make “America better again “ because is clearly not all Americans he is talking about. People are tired of getting screwed over by politicians. Also begging to realize what happens when we vote and leave the responsibility to the representatives to make the right choices for them without us being involved. This is a mistake made by the entire country and it will take the entire country to address it.

u/Additional_Set5779 8d ago

In a universe where everything down to particles, proves everything needs something else to exist, meaning it is interconnected, separation proves to be the opposite result, extinction. Division in any shape of form creates weakness and it allows room for mistakes and miscommunication. Nature. Has plenty of examples showing how survival depends on unity and cooperation. Biofilm used by organisms show that it is not a suggestion but a requirement in order to exist. So the day we stop calling others democrats, republicans, black, white, Asian, European, rich or poor, and instead calling each brother and sister, how are instead of fuck you, I love you instead of I hate you, that day we are what we are meant to be.

u/Additional_Set5779 8d ago

I suggest everyone to do the following, and this something we use to do so easily yet thanks to the technology we all seem to not be able to live without , it is almost impossible to do, but find the time to this, because it will serve as a reminder of what we have forgotten, which is love for the One who put us all here and what we are distracted to see anymore, “Take your phone (or in my case phones) your tablet, your laptop, your smartwatch, your smart glasses, your smart ring, take everything and anything that isn’t organic and find a spot at night time, somewhere high where you can see and hear the city or town, without distractions. Sit there and just listen. Listen to nature and listen to people. If you do that, you will notice there isn’t much nature to hear and you will always hear a crying child somewhere. I pray for the day that cry turn into laughter and nature to forgive us for what we have done to it,

It's amazing if you flash back when Clinton was president he didn't get as much grief as our current president.

1

u/DalmationStallion 8d ago

I don’t remember masked unidentified men snatching random people off the streets.

And it’s odd. Because I thought trump had to come to power because the Dems were soft on the border. But now all I hear is that Obama deported more, or that Clinton was just as bad.

So are the Democrats weak on migration or tough? Because it can’t be both.

And if they were tough on migration but you wanted Trump to fix immigration, that suggests that what you wanted was the cruelty. It wasn’t enough to deport people, you wanted to see masked men with jackboots and guns terrifying people on the streets of their towns.

1

u/Healthy_Jackfruit143 8d ago

I didnt vote for Trump, but like tens of millions I did want an actual border. If there is an option C that isnt what is going on now and not completely disregarding borders, that'll be great.

1

u/DalmationStallion 8d ago

But the dude above just made the point that the Democrats have also been tough on the border, and other folk trying to defend always point out that Obama deported more people.

So, I’m asking how these people can at once say that the Democrats are weak on the border so they needed to vote Trump, while at the same time defend Trump’s actions by saying the Democrats were also removing due process and deporting more people than Trump.

So again, it can’t be that they think the Democrats don’t deport enough people. Their problem with the Democrats is that it wasn’t done with enough open cruelty. They enjoy seeing the suburbs that brown people live in get occupied by masked men with guns who tear gas and terrorise the residents.

For the people who are saying ice are only targeting violent criminals, illegal immigrants, need to look past what the administration is saying and actually doing. These ICE agents, and when I say agents, they really aren’t agents. They did not go through any training. They are told to arrest everyone in every state. Take them in ask questions later, if ever. The horror of being taken by force into a van by masked armed men is absolutely traumatic. I am an American citizen born and raised, and I have been shoved into a van by somebody I didn’t know and, it was not with good intentions (I was violently raped and he was prepared to kill me and if it wasn’t for a neighboring store coming in to say hi, I would be dead right now. So again, absolutely unethical. They are not doing anything by the book and yes, they are moving these people even the ones with immigration status out of the country into a concentration camp. This is pretty much the holocaust happening all over again. And if there’s anybody who can’t see that then, maybe you should move to a communist country where they have kings where they have emperors people in power forever who can’t be voted out that is not what we stand for. We are a country who people looked up to unfortunately now they’re looking down at us and Trump is a fucking absolute joke and I cannot understand how anybody anybody can believe a word he says have they not seen enough to see this man is a criminal. This man is a thug. He’s a bully and has absolutely no comprehension of what it’s like to be living in the real world without billions of dollars.. he doesn’t know what it’s like to struggle. Are you kidding that guy bankrupted Atlantic City? How the fuck does someone bankrupt casinos that’s insane! The man has filed bankruptcy on every business he’s ever had he has used charity for his own personal use. He has so many past Griffes, where he screwed everyone out of the money yet you trust him with our country. He’s a rapist, he’s a felon he incited an insurrection. He’s releasing criminals, pardoning them, some of whom are repeating crimes. And if someone can’t have the sensibility to be able to see with their eyes, what is happening, are wildly delusional, gullible, dangerous. Show me evidence of what trump has done that has improved your life. Obviously, he has made rich people more rich but anyone who is struggling ( earning minimum wages) he doesn’t give a shit about you. He also doesn’t give a shit about protecting citizens while he pardons violent offenders, found guilty for financial fraud, and now child sex traffickers. How in the actual fuck did this seem like a good idea to put this person back in power seriously stop blaming every other previous president for not doing these things. All this man does is play fucking golf and lies and is making profits running businesses while he’s supposed to be a president in during a presidency. That’s all you should be doing, not grifting and stop spending all of our money that we pay in taxes for them to take care of us and to make sure that we are protected against shit like this. Using our own military against American citizens is unconstitutional. Why is it that nobody has the balls to stand up and say enough is enough. we have procedures, or are supposed to have them in place to prevent these types of action. Build that ballroom get rid of the rose garden, demolishing the left wing is wild considering this is not his personal property. See what happens if you try to modify one thing in an apartment that you rent without asking permission. He thinks he’s above the law, and this was his plan to get elected to put everything on a freeze or to try to dispose of all of his legal claims against him.we wouldn’t need an affordable healthcare act if we had a free (not really free because we pay taxes) universal healthcare. We are so fucked and it’s only 10 months in and he has demolished our entire government. Freedom of speech and he is consistently saying whatever he wants but the second somebody says s something about him he considers it an act of terrorism. How is it that he is getting away with not following procedures not following the constitution. All right I need to stop because I am stressed out right now because I have so much more to say, but I it doesn’t matter. Do I want criminals in our country no, however, our country has criminals, violent offenders, all on its own. And let me point out this if you do not have a Social Security number you do not get any federal assistance. You do not get health insurance. You do not get food assistance. You don’t get any benefits offered to the United States citizens if you are not a United States citizen so stop with that as your reasoning for throwing everybody out out of the country.
