I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid you can’t do that…

(Post here without linking to an article, that is)

The Oilers can go and take back Lord Stanley’s cup

Plus, Gillibrand was one of the key people in the party who ran Al Franken out of DC. I would take Franken over Cuomo in a heartbeat.

Oh, that was obviously different. So different, in fact, that it’s as different as black and white…

Republicans did not get a stranglehold on all three branches of government by listening to experts…

Not only that, but politicians are very concerned about their legacies, how they will be remembered. And politicians who hold on until the end do not get to manage an important part of their legacies: how they are replaced.

RBG is the prime example of this. If she had retired while Obama could have appointed her successor, she could have seen someone sane carry her seat forward in her last years. Instead, she died knowing that her replacement would probably seek to undo much of what she did.

If this congressman had not run again in 2024, he could have directly endorsed his successor and made sure his constituents were adequately represented throughout. Now Democrats are down a seat until the election to replace him, and his constituents will have to go through someone else if they need help out of Congress.

“Your regret for voting for me confirms I’m doing a good job,” Rubio fired back.

We now run our foreign policy based entirely on what pisses off Liberals the most…

If we do end up in a fascist hellhole here, a lot of the blame will go to both Biden and RBG. If they both yielded to younger leaders at the proper time, we would not be quite so fucked over now.

Furthermore, not everyone who is here without proper authorization has committed a crime to do so. Sometimes, people come here legally and simply stay longer than they are permitted to. They are subject to deportation if they are discovered, but that is a civil matter, not a criminal one.

This is a subtle point that many people miss in the immigration debate. They assume that everyone who is here without authorization is a criminal (and “illegal”), and that is simply false.

Tainted Cucumbers would be a great band name. What type of music do they play?

the potential violation might constitute criminal contempt

Pardon me?

(That’s what they will all say after the judge holds them in criminal contempt…)

But Legal is how the courts work, and at least right now the courts are the only institution that are putting a check on Trump (sometimes). Congress should be the ones making sure the Presidency is serving the needs of Justice, but that’s not going to happen anytime soon

These two are not being imprisoned (yet), they were never even accused of any crime other than not having authorization to be here (which is not always a crime in the first place), and they were originally from El Salvador.

So as shitty as the situation is, it is likely totally legal, and is a lot different than being deported and imprisoned on made up charges that you couldn’t defend.

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…
