This is the end of democracy in the US.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 51 points 11 months ago

What a coincidence, i said that yesterday!

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

You seem to be thinking they can just do all the crazy shit they say out loud just cuz. That's not how it works.

[-] zqps@sh.itjust.works 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Who's stopping them? Genuine question.

Surely this won't blow up in any of your dumb, fascist faces when King Donald decides that you need to go to CECOT for life because fox news said so.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 90 points 11 months ago

These fuckers are making life real hard for the people writing King Pin in the new Daredevil.

At the beginning of 2024 they wrote and filmed a bunch of evil comic book villain stuff, and by the time the show aired, the Trump administration already did most of that shit in real life.

Dumbass, multiple judges have said there's no evidence of invasion to use as an excuse. I'm sure the process of getting the Supreme Court to block this (if they do) won't allow any sort of harm to everyone who can't get due process and sit in legal black holes while shitty court cases work though the system.

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 30 points 11 months ago

That whole "invasion of immigrants" has been FUD from the beginning... which was a long time ago... nothing gets voters like having someone to blame for your misery, even if it's bullshit.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

They've been saying that shit for longer than I have been able to breath and people still fucken buy it.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

That whole "invasion of immigrants" has been FUD from the beginning

As was "they're ripping us off" and "fentanyl flooding across the Canadian border".

Pretty much *everything * Trump has done, he's tried to justify it with easily disproven lies.

[-] Catma@lemmy.world 53 points 11 months ago

I cant wait for all the 2nd amendment preppers to fight against this tyranny

[-] Archer@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago

Turns out cosplayers are more dedicated than them

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

So arm the cosplayers? Got it.

I'm sure they'll get right on that any day now....

If there ain't rule of law, that means mario kart rules apply, yes?

You can turn steel blue with a fun little oxidation trick: https://youtu.be/8h1Uf9bkc3E

[-] Wilco@lemm.ee 20 points 11 months ago

Actually, yes it does. Habeas Corpus is in Article One of the Constitution. Suspending it without an act of rebellion or invasion is an attack on the constitution. Those attacking the Constitution should get the blue shell, and that always takes out the leader.

Remember to zero your firearm and get training.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

This. Tear it down, clean it, put it back together. That's your last line of defense, and freedom. Know it well.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah I plan on taking a course offered by a local place.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Get strapped if you haven't yet

[-] badbrainstorm@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago

Hoping someone rapesius their dead corpsiuses real soon.

Jk, not advocating murder...

Why did they make Patton stop?

[-] notsure@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago

...he fucked with the people next door...

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The pope election with similar Latin terms is too close, I have to remind myself...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_corpus

Oh, that's pretty neat. "You have to produce the prisoner" is basically what it means?

Of course I'm not the least bit surprised that they don't like that. OTOH, they already just ignore the courts so why bother "looking at" it. 🤷

[-] guy@piefed.social 18 points 11 months ago

It comes from courts demanding to know who they are actually judging, "You have to produce the prisoner" is good

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 8 points 11 months ago

Thanks for confirming.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Can we suspend their habeus corpuses from the gallows?

[-] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Tell me why you mother fuckers have so many guns again?

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

To cosplay rambo.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Appropriate

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Well that will surely be a boon to tourism and can't wait until other countries reciprocate, but maybe that will just be a boon in getting rid of these IRL nuance streamers in other countries.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
