That was my first thought!
Like, yeah, 47 needs a trial so the CULTists can see the process (and have his crimes spelled out for them.)
OH!
You mean in general. Yeah. That too.
All good. Can I ask you a legit question? Assuming I can, do you have a problem with the Commander in Chief, President, wanting to expel the most violent illegal persons from the USA that did not come here legally? And … do you live here in the USA?
Last first: yes, I am an American.
As such, I believe in due process. The president can WANT to do anything, but we have laws that he is SWORN to uphold. One is he has to prove in court the guilt of a suspect.
Are YOU absolutely sure that every person renditioned did not come here legally? How?
I’m first generation American on my father’s side and second on mom’s side and I, too, believe in the rule of law. What about the laws that the former administration should have upheld ie, not allowing the free flowing of millions of people being dispersed into our country? Were you OK with that?
It always starts with those "others" that "probably" deserve it anyway, then before you know it, you're one of those "others". If the threatening language Trump has used for years doesn't convince you he would arrest citizens for wrong ideas, you haven't been paying attention.
A hearing is only as good as the ethics of those holding the hearing and following the rules. We have clearly seen the abysmal lack of ethics and consequences in the DOJ. So, hard pass.
Calling them gang members doesn't t make them members. Being a member isn't a crime. Criminals have rights. Rubio committed crimes, and should be charged and held in contempt, of course after due process, which he denied to others.
These people who were deported are labeled as gang members in order to make them sound unsympathetic. No one knows if these people committed crimes. It is likely that they committed the crime of having neck tattoos.
It'll never happen. Donnie is in a cocoon of MAGA die hards who couldn't remember to breathe if dear leader disappeared. God damnit, they are so fucking dumb.
...Art. 10 "Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him"....
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Art. 8 "Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law". Art. 9 "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile". Art. 10..
Unless it’s the true most deprived and dangerous criminal in American history who also happens to be the president, then it’s a slow walk calculus approaching zero that never comes.
IMHO, Donald Trump is acting no better or worse than Saddahm Huesein, so what is taking so long to arrest Trump for crimes against humanity, he stole POC, immigrants and sent them to a country they are not even from!
Help us make sense of this🙏
The process is about ensuring and showing to the world that the person IS a depraved and dangerous criminal.
Without that, all you have is accusations, and then long-lasting doubt.
They will disappear people. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out one day that they sent special flights out to sea to drown people because no one can stop them just like happened in Argentina
Eons ago, I was on a newspaper editorial board and I was at the time the token “leftie”. There was a (IRL quite well mannered and gentle) “rightie” gent on the board. And he would say, often: “worst case makes bad law.” On that, he and I had solid common ground.
Not really. Our ancient ancestors knew how to deal with individuals that represented a danger to the group. So did George Washington for that matter. We all know what Trump is and what he's trying to do, but the legal system has become useless as Dickens' Circumlocution office (Little Dorrit).
Can I make a point?
We’re not playing by the old rules. It’s Internet rules.
Got spam? Block it.
Hack emails. Steal identity.
Want money? Make bitcoin.
Everything is a victimless crime on the internet. Faceless, painless and NOT regulated.
That’s the Devil’s deal we made.
Musk is in charge.

“we are all at risk if he doesn’t get it.”

The Trump administration is also targeting the free press, judges who rule against it, etc.
#DueProcess
Life , liberty, or property shall not be deprived by the federal or state governments, without due process of law.
It appears the only way to stop
the MAGA cult’s coup d’ etat
& the transformation of America democracy
into a authoritarian nativist Christian
evangelical fundamentalists theocracy
will be protesting in town halls,
in the streets
& at the ballot boxes,
if there is another election.

Throughout the trial he addressed the accused with decorum. Not because he deserved it. But because the system required it.
And “this” is not American, it is Fascism.
He can fuck all the way off.
