The median American will never be illegally deported by ICE and left to die in a torture prison in defiance of a Supreme Court order, so it’s hard to see how any of this is a winning issue for Democrats. by Matt Yglesias - ThreadSky

The Founding Fathers said nothing about cybersecurity, so it’s hard to see that investigating the previous Head of CISA for treason is at all objectionable.

By seventeen Supreme Court clerks.

"Liberals claim that shipping U.S. residents to a prison in El Salvador violates the Constitution. Yet, a careful review of the Constitution finds that 'El Salvador' appears nowhere in that document."

at the time of the writing of the constitution, el salvador -- like much of what is the united states west of the mississippi -- was part of new spain, so one would need to examine the edicts of alonso nunez de haro y peralta to determine how extradition would be effectuated.

That may change with summer. More people getting tans=More people getting picked up in black vans for existing while brown.

Different countries have different levels of torture in their prisons, and that’s ok

Did they mean “average”?

How about the not quite median American or the American outlier or any the fuck American.

Stop disappearing people for fuck's sake. It's not hard!

Awful as it is, that one might actually be a very good take.

"Democratic politicians and activists have expressed opposition to the DOGE. Yet, not one has stepped forward with their own plan for shuttering entire agencies without Congressional authorization."

A lot of good comments on this thread, but yours sadly takes the cake. So spot on.

"The median American will never be illegally deported by ICE and left to die in a torture prison"

That's a bold claim

alastoravasarala.bsky.social•50 days ago

I thought this was real bc I read the content before the poster... And well, it is real, it's just not published in the NYT yet. 🙃

bverbs.bsky.social•50 days ago

The logic is still faulty I see.

After reading this, he clicked over to his open Word doc and did a LOT of backspacing

stonemom.bsky.social•50 days ago

Actually, it looks like the average American who manages to p*** off Trump may just well get to have that experience since he's already talking about wanting to deport citizens...

I was illegally sent to a torture prison in El Salvador and have no hope of seeing my home or family again. Here's why that's bad news for Joe Biden.

Kamala laughed too loud and too deep and did not make Palestine a separate state. I was forced to vote for Jill Stein.

Things couldn’t have gotten worse anyway. We were already Doing A Genocide, which means there was no possible way for anything to get worse for anyone in or out of the country, as everything possible was already Maximum Bad.

Are we sure this isn't just the regular NYT account?

stonemom.bsky.social•50 days ago

It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference. Esp. since I finally cancelled my subscription so can't do any cross-checking...

Because if it happy to one it can happen to all of us.

hieronymusblue.bsky.social•50 days ago

Why join a yearly $40,000 health club when you can jet down to El Salvador and sweat off the pounds in a torture prison?

At this Dayton Ohio diner, the tater tots were scorched, the bacon was burnt and the strawberry cream waffles smelled like Saranwrap. But we all nodded like Aaron Judge bobbleheads when we didn't tip our waiter, Jose, didn't show his birth certificate.

boshflimshaw.bsky.social•50 days ago

He posted here defending his record. Almost certainly because of your post. Congrats.

aiddya.bsky.social•50 days ago

He's not wrong. It sadly is not a issue that Americans care about

bobcrunkle.bsky.social•50 days ago

There is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits the government from deporting innocent Americans to prisons in foreign countries if said foreign country did not exist when the Constitution was ratified.

Jackasses making arguments like this need to be sent back to elementary school where they can eat paste in peace.

How could Dems possibly run on caring for and about other people?

stonemom.bsky.social•50 days ago

"How could Dems possibly run on caring for and about other people?" Well, clearly a losing proposition once you point out how "woke" that is. I mean, duh!

The economy is going to be the big swing issue most of the time.

The only way he gets kicked out of office is because the economy gets the Republican base to start abandoning him.

lizzellw.bsky.social•49 days ago

And that’s never going to happen as long as he keeps telling his buddies when he’s going to be threatening tariffs and then backing off.
