I work at Macworld, but nothing I say or do here is in any way the opinion or endorsement of that brand or our company.

This is beyond impeachable. This isn't just "make him not president" stuff this is "jail forever" stuff. And it's not hypothetical, it's HAPPENING NOW.

And to be clear, he plans to declare US citizen terrorists, throw them in a foreign concentration camp (that's what it is), with no due process for someone to prove they're not.
And then by the time a court catches up, he'll claim he can't disrupt the sovereign powers of El Salvador to do anything.

Even if you want to give him the single day:

Note that his remedy - even back then when he had shifted the goalpost to a hypothetical that is now reality - was for "the people to rise up."
He's got no plan. He will not meet the moment. He is not up to the task.

I know a lot of people see a question like that and immediately think "oh this is just another Debbie Downer saying Trump is above the law" and I get that it happens a lot, but...
it's a legit question in this case. He's flaunting a court order. Literally, what happens next?

Note that it is funded by the banks entirely. There are no budget savings to be had. Not one penny of taxpayer money.

At any other time, and with any other president, simply calling for this would be an impeachable offense.

Not for nothing but what is with all the know-nothing bro culture chuds using "delete" for everything now.
You don't "delete" laws, you "repeal" them through legislation. Simply finding the database entry and deleting it doesn't like, make it go away.

The administration has consistently maintained that all undocumented immigrants ARE de facto "criminals." They are here illegally, have broken the law, and are therefore "criminals."
You and I know overstaying your visa is a civic violation but the Trump admin does NOT see it that way.

Nobody THINKS you're a liar for saying he was nice to you, Bill.
We think you have your priorities fucked up.

I have noticed that their own jobs seem to be exempt from this world view, despite the fact that a CEO's job (data in, broad macro decisions out) is the most easily replaceable by AI.
We're already at the point, I would wager, where the best AIs would do at least as good a job as most CEOs.

not without also requiring the government to provide that proof of citizenship, free of charge and proactively, to all citizens.
You gotta pay for someone to knock on an old rural black woman's door and hand her an ID, for free. Or it's disenfranchisement.

Immediately talks over the correction and waves it away with a "but but but here's the problem..."
Textbook Fox News. That's why she's a star! Real-time deflection and goalpost-moving!

Five months is plenty of time when you already have the conclusion written.

A few hours BEFORE Trump announced the 90-day pause, there was a suspicious surge in volume with people BUYING.
On the first day...the first half-day!...of the tariffs, when nobody in their right mind is buying the "bottom."
Suspicious af.

The greatest health care system on earth right here. Maybe we should funnel billions more into private insurers. That'll fix it.

Fraud, waste, and abuse:
Fraud is a crime. If it's there, prosecute it. Abuse is just another word for Fraud.
Nobody's going to tell this holier-than-thou devout Christian that many Medicaid recipients CAN'T work, as he strips health care away from poor and disabled, right?

And that's how fascists control the narrative. Control the press.
They just repeat the same language over and over until it's the defacto standard. And if you dare to use your own language? Well, ask the AP how that works out.

I haven't read The Art of the Deal but does it basically say to fuck everything up royally, quickly change course without anyone knowing what is going on, put things halfway back together, and that's how you make a deal?

Smashes a cookie jar.
Puts half of it back together.
