Summary
The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.
The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.
Whining snowflakes, the whole maga lot
This GIF is great!
Being able to remember is so surreal these days. I remember when Republicans attacked my country and tried to kill elected leaders. I remember when the domestic terrorists were taken in like sons and daughters. I remember CPAC declaring “We are all domestic terrorists.”
And now they’re saying terrorists don’t deserve due process.
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Did I stutter, bitch?
The scene is from HBO’s “John Adams”, is that correct? Man, what a show! It made me put John Adams among top 5 American presidents. And the role is Paul Giamatti’s finest! I have also changed my view of him as one of the best actors! Had the show been released few years later in late 00’s to early 10’s during the peak of TV dramas, Paul Giamatti would be celebrated as one of the greatest along with Brian Cranston!
I have also changed my view of him as one of the best actors!
Same, this series made me a huge fan of Giamatti, and I try to watch everything he’s in now. He’s so good.
Fantastic series.
Yes I am sure the criminal who already ignores courts amd suffers no tangible consequences for it will obey a ruling he does not like.
The DOJ could technically put an arrest warrant on his subordinates that are not complying with an order.
The trump owned DOJ? Ping me when that happens. I’ll hold my breath.
Aaaannny second now…
I have a higher chance of being a millionaire than that happening
Judges cam also deputize people outside the DOJ and law enforcement to carry out the Court’s orders.
And he can pardon them for all crimes and get back to what they were doing. No man, Trump is closer to ending the rule of law than anyone understands… We have to do the right stuff at the right time or were doing fuhrer 2 electric boogaloo by summer
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Which society is this, and how can I travel to it?
Stephen Miller’s quote is of course quite hyperbolic but in fact yes, the US constitution says even foreign alien terrorists are guaranteed legal representation in the American criminal justice system. It’s amazing how many people either don’t understand this or pretend not to understand it, because it’s one of the tenets that made America so great to begin with, at least on paper
New Zealand? It’s called the “Citizen’s Advice Bureau” but it’s free for anyone. Doesn’t go as far as full representation, but it’s something.
Also our conservative government tried to defund it. Fuckers.
The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.
For most people, having the entire legal system as your opponent might give you pause, and an “are we the bad guys?” moment. Not so for Trump cultists.
We are the bad guys and have been for a long long time.
I don’t think the judicial system has been very judicious since it’s become so politicized. With so many right leaning justices and straight up corruption in the courts I don’t respect their opinions anymore.
Perhaps it would be different for someone right leaning, but it’s my understanding that average people on the right distrust most government by default. The Republican mind and the libertarian mind are often similar.
All that to say I don’t think this is a valid trigger for introspection, and in fact I don’t think there is a single thing besides brown jesus christ himself coming down and rapturing their opposition that would cause even a second of pause.
We all agree that the system is corrupt and ineffective. Republicans subvert that truth in order to undermine the law and cut government programs. In other words, while Dems are complaining about overreach of presidential power, Reps take that same energy towards SCOTUS.
I myself am on the far left so this is not an endorsement, but rather an observation on their clever tactics.
“Suspend habeas corpus” is making me pretty upset
Yeah it feels like that’s getting glossed over but that’s a really fucking big deal.
For those unaware, habeas corpus (from Medieval Latin, lit. ‘you should have the body’, basically ‘bring us this guy’) is a legal procedure that exists in basically every legitimate government anywhere, not just American, which effectively states that if you’ve been wrongly imprisoned then your lawyer can call to have you moved from prison to a courtroom to determine whether your detainment is lawful. Basically saying you can’t just be thrown in a dungeon to be forgotten about because someone can force the court to retrieve you and give you a court date. I’m not a legal expert so read it for yourself to get a good understanding.
At any rate, someone recommending suspending habeas corpus is never up to any good, it is always 100% bad without exception, always. Even saying those three words together should be instant political suicide and should be grounds for disbarment. Successfully suspending habeas corpus with your rubber stamp and signature should be subject to execution. Any judge who accepts that it is suspended is unfit for their position.
Agreed… that’s some Gestapo shit
They can all drop dead for all I care. I’d celebrate.
So when are republicans changing the plaque on the Statue of Liberty to say
“Get out you tired, you poor,
You huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to El Salvador,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
because the current one is way to woke and liberal?
the statue of liberty is a " hidden giant assassin robot from france"-Rick

Maybe somebody should tell him that.
It is now up to the man on the street to show him that.
As an outsider looking in… aren’t they always in full meltdown mode?
Yeah, but right now it’s about SCOTUS. Sometimes it’s other stuff.
It’s a deliberate strategy.
Including but not limited to restrictions on asbestos.

“SCOTUS didn’t SCOTUS like they’re supposed to!”
– magaSCOTUS doesn’t know that the Cab’net and me
Circumvent the Constitution when we want to
They tell them they’ll comply, but they really don’t
Still they’re on their knees, and SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
So don’t tell SCOTUS!
It was funny watching all the conservative cucks dogpile on the comments section of the MSNBC youtube video that broke the story over the weekend, and every one of them was putting their ignorance of the constitution on full display - more proof that they don’t actually understand anything about how government works and should not be taken seriously or given any kind of real power or authority.
Some of these guys are very, very dangerous and will push us towards civil war before they give up power.
Remember that violence is what they want so they have an excuse to crack down and use martial law, etc.
The Courts must uphold the rule of law despite these threats. This is (supposed to be) America. We are not free unless everyone has due process.
MAGA will just say, “tHoUghTs AnD PrAyErS”. But if a Dem said that, MAGA will just say, “domestic terrorism!”
They will gaslight this country to its death.
