Justice Sotomayor with a bone-chilling warning: “The implication of the Government's position is that not only noncitizens but also United States citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before re-moval. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation's system of laws is designed to prevent, not en-able, their rise."
Ronald Reagan said we were an example for the world.“A shining city on a hill.”“And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”That was four decades ago.WHAT THE HELL happened to you, Republicans???? - Bob Warth
When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this:Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget.None of their destruction is actually about saving money. - Hillary Rodham Clinton
Our founders anticipated a Donald Trump, but they failed to anticipate a cowardly and compliant Republican party. - Jeff Tiedrich
If the U.S. government can disappear a person legally residing here with a wife and child who are U.S. citizens and then fart around as if federal court orders are meaningless, the idea of America is pretty much shot. - Rex Huppke
Trump to Fox: "You know, in the old days -- about 1870 to 1913 -- the tariffs were the only form of money."
People taking 3 pieces of pizza at the party because they think it will run out vs people who take 1 piece for the exact same reason is such a perfect encapsulation of America. - Care2
I miss you all!
Peace.
Among the many things that Hillary has been right about...these guys are spending far more than they would be saving if they were actually looking for savings.
ReplyDelete🤨 We could complain about spending money to give Trump a military parade on his birthday! $92M is a shit-ton to spend on a parade, but is peanuts compared to the $12B a year handshake 🤝 Trump and Bukele got ovations for in the Oval Office yesterday! At the current rate Bukele receives for storing "criminal" units (dehumanized people), at $1600/month, $12B would be the yearly fee for the 400K units that could be crammed into 5 more CECOT concentration camps for US "homgrowns." All of it bypassing Congress' Constitutional powers to make such contracts and appropriate the funds!! This is a major piece of the crisis that is now so clear! DOGE never saved a dime; it is redirecting all the dimes! Off-the-books, illegal funding using every last bit of our Treasury, our taxes, our healthcare, and our carefully collected social safety net!! All of it under the control of our Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge of anti-science, anti-law, anti-education, anti-intellectual, anti-democracy, hand-picked freaks!! Welcome to the American killing fields!! ⚰️⚱️🪦
