What's the justification for a citizen not to be easily findable?
comment in response to
post
Which is sort of the point where we started. Where is he? Some time has passed, does his family/lawyer still not know where he is? Because I am not Ted Cruz, I googled, and it looks like he's not at the nearest federal detention center and has not been formally charged. Why not?

Your opinion is he's guilty. It's for a jury to actually decide after a full review, or if there's a plea, the citizen in question to decide. Recent history reminds us, a video, even multiple videos complete with confessions of guilt, doesn't mean guilt is not disputed. And dismissed.

We are also innocent until proven guilty.

That is for the court if it makes it that far, and perhaps video will be presented. The officers will also have to make a full accounting of how they handled the situation.

The point is citizens have rights and to be charged in a timely fashion and to representation and for that representation to be able to find them. They have 48 hours. I have not made an argument about guilt or innocence.

And if his rights were violated, because no matter what someone is alleged to have done, it doesn't relieve law enforcement of having to behave lawfully, that will have an affect on how harsh his due process is.

I am talking about the citizen this report is about. As for those being detained, citizens have also been picked up, and simply based on this clip, I don't know the status of anyone else involved. Part of due process is knowing where detained citizens are being held and access to counsel.

The 20 year old that this is about is a citizen. So that is the issue. Which underscores the necessity of due process. If everyone is afforded due proces then citizens are not deprived of their rights. I ask again, do we hold American citizens incommunicado?

Enten and Scott Jennings are the same level of - do not want to me. He's a poor Steve Kornacki knock-off.

Their reasoning for Debbie Allen seemed sound to me. And that's not sarcasm.

Which is why I wish the judgement amount was higher. He is menace who needs to be a broke menace.

Threatening to nuke a country is certainly the optimum way to convince a country they don't need nukes.

Senator Padilla continuing to call her out?

Think of it as them finally agreeing with you and the fact they still have a very very long way to go, and how they enabled this mess to begin with.

Well earlier today or yesterday he was saying Donald Trump was a good, caring man on the Steve Bannon podcast, so limited good and more suck up than voice of reason.

He's smug and gross, but today, he used that for good.

"expected to return"...people you unceremoniously fired? The rehiring just as unprofessional and disrespectful as the firing.

I think it's pretty important. He almost trampled peaceful protestors AND almost gravely injured an innocent horse. Incompetent on every level.

Yes, I wonder if Speaker Johnson can muster the same vitriol for him that he did for my senator, Senator Padilla.

Except in this specific instance, Bannon and Kirk are not elected officials or constituents, so there was no need to deal with them.

Although an immigrant child can't volunteer to leave, if they remain with a parent or guardian, that person has independent authority over the child, not so with slavery as children we're property. An immigrant child could return to their birth country unimpeded.

Sigh, "product of kidnapping".
My ancestors had theirs taken and were it not for newer tech like dna testing, I wouldn't know exactly where they were from. We are from the Southern U.S. but that was not a choice. It is erasure because the history of slavery in the US is specific and distinct.
comment in response to
post
Because ibe is at least somewhat voluntary and the other is the product of kidnsoo8ngvwhich is a crime. In theory and immigrant can go home if they want to, or at the very least knows where their ancestral home is.

"a kind of legitimacy"
comment in response to
post
As a constituent who voted for him twice I criticized him for platforming of both the vile Charlie Kirk and reprobate Steve Bannon. There was nothing good to be gained from it, and it gave two of the worst citizens in our country a kind legitimacy. He deserved to be criticized for it.

Um, is he married because sorry to that lady. But more than likely, women are not attracted to you dude, not because of birth control, but because you're a failed human being.

And that is why the city of Los Angeles has a budget shortfall. Having to pay out civil suits because of dipshit LAPD behavior.

Tragically for Lindell, he found a high that was publicly acceptable and came with thousands of enablers.

No, because they mean declining birth rates from white women. They routinely complain about this, particularly when talking about Taylor Swift.

He's said on his show more than once he embraces being called a racist and tells his listeners to embrace it too, so no stache required.

That market is drying up for them, so now it's being pitched as a possible cancer treatment. Not any specific cancer, just cancer🙄.

In some instances had the whole trajectory of their lives changed by it. What you term fixation is personal history and for those that came before, their every day lives.

Because U.S. slavery has influenced and still influences U.S. culture today? Simply because the U.S. did not invent it doesn't mitigate the impact. Like rape is a crime as old as time, does that mean the people raped in the modern era have not been affected by it?

Democrats are not just the elected officials, it's also the constituency. Mr. Huerta and those two women manhandled by ICE/DEA understand the assignment. I don't know their political affiliation, but every day Democrats have been standing up in the face of Project 2025 and other injustices.

This young man is clearly some of the best of us. Look at who he is versus who is running the country. More of him, less petulant billionaire one and petulant billionaire two.
comment in response to

Yes, that seems to be the thing. I think he's had some "character issues"come up when he previously ran for office. Sometimes I get a Steve Bannon but progressive vibe from him. There's a personal desperation there.

Sadly je isn't. He was allowed to plead guilty to state charges without doing time.

Where would the winning be if we have to pretend what is vile and reprehensible isn't? He's a vindictive child. If he wants to go on a mea culpa tour, perhaps pay the expenses for a year of people he illegally fired that's one thing, otherwise telling the truth about him is not "shifting on him".

A lot is happening, which makes memories short, but Musk deserves to be attacked. From thinking it's funny cos playing Nazi to throwing thousands of people out of their jobs for no reason and upending their lives, there is nothing of value there, except maybe an object lesson.
