This reminds me to point out something I'm not sure I've mentioned here yet. Immigration judges are not real judges. They are employees of the DOJ.

Damn it's a shame they got direct orders from Tom Homan to do that to a baby or else you might have to confront some uncomfortable realities about their personal culpability

I already said how. Prosecute every single Republican in the country and bar them all from running again. We can figure out next steps from there.

The fix isn't to take peoples' votes away. It's to take away the candidates who want to break the government. They can't vote for them if they're not allowed on the ballot.

And the system that doesn't give voters an option outside "people who want to break government" vs "people who come off as transparently inauthentic, out-of-touch assholes" predates current voters. You're letting the people who forced that paradigm into play completely skirt accountability for...

This is a feudal mindset. "Blame the serfs, not the lords" Fuck you.

What does that matter? Are you going to argue that it's anti-democratic to expel criminals from government? Is this going to turn into a "The fine men, women, and non-binary people of New York's 3rd Congressional District were disenfranchised when George Santos was removed from Congress"...

No it isn't. It's supposed to work by there being more than one party with a good faith commitment to functioning democracy. You work with people like THAT if it's necessary. You don't reach across the aisle to people who have proven for at least the past 20 years that what they want more...

This part is no longer important. Bipartisanship is a non-starter for the foreseeable future If your instincts tell you to work with Republicans after this, I don't trust you to govern competently.

I don't actually think Trump is trolling though. You see that ABC interview? He TRULY believes that Kilmar Abrego Garcia LITERALLY has M S 1 3 tattooed on his hand.

BTW this thread proves that I'm right that Tater and I aren't on the same side. He wants the left to have no place in the Democratic Party (a party he openly admitted to never having voted for prior to 2016) and I understand the party needs to be run by the left if we don't want another fascist...

Their death would be one less bigot troll in the world. That counts for something.

That's not a response to what I said. You understand that, right? I made the explicit point that if Trump dies the replacement won't need Miller in his ear. If they both die instead of just Trump that doesn't change whether or not the world is reshaped in a way that Stephen Miller would...

Like I appreciate you co-signing the notion that the world would be better without people who think a certain way about the world, but I actually don't know if Trump himself fits the description. I think he might be genuinely too deep in the dementia sauce to have an actual ideology. If...

What do you believe that accomplishes? This is more of the same centrist bullshit that got us here, which is kind of remarkable when the previous statement in the post is so astute. Trump is not the problem. The oligarchy he's selling us out to still exists and is no less powerful without...
