Are we the baddies?

In case you wondered why Trump can't afford to pay for disaster relief: they are diverting disaster relief money to fund concentration camps

Weren't there all sorts of crazy right-wing conspiracy theories about FEMA running internment camps? Now they are actually doing it - really is the case that 'every accusation is a confession'.

They did super quick come to the conclusion it’s ok to deport people to some of the worst places on the planet even if their country of origin is on a different continent because well no reasons were given.

No reasons given and no one would sign the ruling. Six cowards hiding behind their robes.

Nm, wrong thread

Something I was reading suddenly bought to my mind Trump's executive order over-ruling 'birth right citizenship', and I found myself wondering what was decided about that, did the Supreme Court ever rule on it? On googling it was very surprised to find it still hasn't been settled yet.

https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/23/politics/supreme-court-major-opinions

Supreme Court work goes on with 10 cases to decide, including birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court is in the homestretch of a term that has lately been dominated by the Trump administration’s emergency appeals of lower court orders seeking to slow President Donald Trump’s efforts to remake the federal government.

apnews.com

How the hell can it take so long to decide if the President can, with a stroke of his pen, negate something clearly stated in the Constitution itself? Is there really anything to debate there?

If the fact that it is publicly known that several of the justices have taken money and or gifts from people who have had cases before them and nothing has been done about it, then I hate to inform you that our Supreme Court has been compromised.

Technically they just lifted the injunction until they rule on the case but yea i think it is a horrible decision.

They telegraphed the way they would eventually rule. Also deporting someone to Libya or South Sudan is pretty irreversible. This court has shown an extreme reluctance to maintain the status quo while cases work their way through the system. Allowing the administration to move forward with extreme policies in the meantime.

Didn't say otherwise just stating the facts.

The new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump’s approval on immigration significantly underwater.

I always figured that as the actual stuff he's doing encounters people's perceptions of what they thought he would do on immigration this number would worsen for him. And so it is.

 

[Fenixgoon]

What signals made you say they telegraphed their decision??

Welcome to P&N.

Lifting an injunction like this causes irreparable harm to the people affected by the ruling. It's pretty hard to be present in your court case if you're on the other side of the world, in a politically unstable country, with no resources to make your way back.

Allowing the injunction to hold would also not cause irreparable harm or undue burden on the government.

So yes, the courts telegraphed how they plan on voting.

America is so weird in this way where they elect Republicans and then immediately hate what Republicans do when they cut taxes for rich people at our expense.

Like, we all know what they're going to do. It's what they ALWAYS do. What baffles me is how so many Americans are like 'I didn't vote for this'. You 100% did!

Look I totally didn’t think the leopards were going to eat my face this time. Aren’t they full after eating my face for the last 45 years?

Short memories and a 6th grade reading level nationally on average will do that to ya.

Here’s a news flash for America. Assuming we still have actual elections going forward the next time republicans gain power one of the first things they will do is cut taxes for rich people.

I will take any and all bets to the contrary, haha.

It's the current standard slow walk.

Trump's Bombing Probably Set Iran's Nuclear Program Back By Mere Months, Report Says​

W.H. RAGES: Leaked By 'Low-Level Loser'...

That's how MAGA views reality, and any who would report on it.
I look at their voters... and I do wonder how we tolerate their continued existence.

So she did confirm it’s the real deal, just politically inconvenient for the administration. Damn she is an idiot

NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years. NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Going to kick NSF out of their own building so the HUD secretary can have an oppulent office and reserved parking for his 5 cars.

Seems kind of wasteful, but I guess we can't really tell since it hasn't been adjudicated in court.

So add to tRump's accomplishments wiping out the Hudson Bay Company with his dumbass tariffs. They were in business since 1607.
