Nope this is fascistic. The Holocaust started with first dehumanizing Jews, then transporting them away from their homes into ghettos.- Abbott being Abbott
When you're worse than the Louisiana White Citizens' Council, who at least didn't kidnap the people they dehumanized, maybe you should do some soul searching. Alas...- Abbott being Abbott
They didn't even tell them where they were going. And they got sent to an island with few social services, that essentially closes down in September once the tourist season is over. There are just about no jobs there over the winter. So the people of Massachusetts now will have to pay for their relocation. It's sociopathic. But I guess they're owning the libs, so there's that.- Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread
DeSantis is a sociopath. There's no way to retaliate, because these are human beings not political props.- Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread

Not sure where this goes, although DeSantis has taken "credit" for doing this. I'm mostly just sad. That putting 2 year olds on a plane across the country with no warning, no telling them where they're going, or even letting people at the destination know, is applauded by a lot of the country. I just keep going back to my father teaching me that a society is based on how it treats those with the least among us. And the right today mocks the "elite" and the libs, but they're actually taking care of these Venezuelan immigrants, many of whom are young children, while the Floridians are pieces of shit reveling in their cruelty.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
There is no old wing of the party. The entire party is batshit. There’s only the batshit fascists and Americans who aren’t republicans, either because they never were or because they left the party.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Why would he go from bedminster to DC for medical treatment? I could sorta see him doing that from maralago but bedminster is just a helicopter ride from the nyc hospitals.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

Perfect GQP non sequitur, which deflects from any actual solution to the actual problems. If you think levying additional criminal penalties against someone who under the current laws already on the books would already serve up to 99 years in prison, and possibly be subject to the death penalty, are appropriate, go for it. You could also explain how if he served 120 years in prison instead of 99 that would decrease gun violence in any meaningful way. All this while ignoring that we have by far the highest incarceration rate in the world, our prisons are essentially really shitty mental health care facilities, and we are churning out people more likely to commit crimes when they can't get jobs/reenter society because they got caught smoking some weed. All of which has actual impact on gun violence. As does the actual proliferation of guns, something you are ignoring. But hey maybe you'll be able to buy a third boat.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
She's a MAGA mouthbreather, so I'm not defending her, but this order is not surprising. Both sides were already supposed to submit briefs tomorrow regarding how the special master should work, such as timing of the document review. She wants the parties to include in those briefs a discussion of the DOJ's motion filed today to keep the classified documents outside of the special master review. She may (and I have no faith in her) be laying groundwork to grant the DOJ's motion, and take the off ramp they've provided her. It'll be interesting to see how trump argues the classified documents could somehow be subject to executive privilege and that he's entitled to them back.- Active shooter thread
Odd how we're the country with both the highest incarceration rate on the planet (although Rwanda and Turkmenistan are making a run at us), and the second highest rate of gun deaths of any country. It's almost as if locking lots of people up doesn't make us safer.- Active shooter thread
Republicans love big government when it's mass incarcerating people. Yup, the problem is we don't imprison people enough in this country.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

Any documents potentially (in the world at large, not just related to trump) subject to executive privilege would be definition be Presidential Records. The PRA requires that the government possess and control all Presidential Records. If trump took Presidential Records and hid them in his private office he stole them. If trump had personal records in his private office, then those aren't subject to executive privilege. The documents the FBI seized had to either be (1) not ever subject to executive privilege under any circumstance or (2) Presidential Records that trump had no business having in his club in the first place. Those are the only options. These are either stolen documents or documents that couldn't possibly subject to executive privilege in the first instance. And trump has argued that the FBI planted the documents he's now claiming they can't look at because they're privileged. And that he somehow magically declassified documents. That he won the 2020 election in a landslide. And that windmills cause cancer. I don't know why you're giving his nonsense arguments weight.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
How could trump have had Presidential Records in his possession unless he stole them? How could any personal records of trump's be subject to executive privilege?- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
Those quotes don't change my opinion. The PRA says the government controls Presidential Records. But a former president can sue to stop the current executive/archivist from releasing those records. None of this has any bearing on whether a former president can steal Presidential Records and refuse to return them by claiming executive privilege, which is a tortured reading of the PRA.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
That case was about whether the archivist could release Presidential Records, and whether a former president could assert privilege to stop the archivist from releasing those records, which were already in the government's possession as they were government records. It has nothing to do with whether a former president could hide Presidential Records from the current executive. The records were Presidential Records, and the issue was whether the archivist could give those records over to the January 6 Committee. From your quote: The Presidential Records Act reflects that understanding by providing that a former President may initiate an action "asserting that a determination made by the Archivist violates the former President's rights or privileges." 44 U.S.C. § 2204(e). And "[n]othing in [the] Act shall be construed to * * * limit * * * any constitutionally-based privilege which may be available to a[ ] * * * former President." Id. at § 2204(c)(2).- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
My internet's been down most of the day. And looking back on my posts, JFC the typos. But wanted to add that this is the start of the PRA, setting forth definitively that presidential records belong to the government, meaning the American people, and not to trump or anyone else who occupied the executive branch for a few years. §2202. Ownership of Presidential records The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. The PRA then goes on to delineate when the archivist can release Presidential Records and procedures for current and former presidents to assert privilege to stop the archivist from releasing Presidential Records. Nothing in the PRA suggests that a former president could assert executive privilege to stop the executive from retrieving these records. In fact, the first section of the PRA specifies that the government shall retain complete ownership, control and possession of those records, and trump plainly has violated the PRA.- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
The Presidential Records Act guides when the executive branch may release presidential records to others. And yes there are some rare occasions when a former president may be able to assert exec privilege to stop the current president from releasing records. The PRA has nothing to do with records someone removed from the governments custody and has been hiding from the government- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
How could trump Possibly possess anything subject to executive privilege? He’s no longer the executive. The documents the FBI seized are either government documents that trump stole or they’re personal documents that wouldn’t be executive privileged. That’s an insane result that he could steal documents from the government and then claim the government can’t get them back because they’re trumps own super secret documents- A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
God, I hope you’re right. But I can’t shake the feeling that we’re letting a mass murder go around committing more murders while the investigators get tied up investigating an ever increasing number of murders and perfecting those cases. Meanwhile, scores more are murdered and hopefully the investigators, judges and juries don’t get whacked while all the investigating is going on. - Desantis is a POS and needs his own thread
