  1. A really fundamental thing about deals is you have to trust your counterparty will stick to it once the deal is made. The rest of the world knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that we won't. There's no reason for anyone to even attempt to negotiate any trade deals with us and there's no evidence anyone is actually trying to do so.
  2. It shouldn't need to be explained at this point, but they intend to discover whether it's legal by doing it and seeing if SCOTUS will stop them after the fact.
  3. From what's been reported, they don't tell the people they kidnap where they're taking them or give them the opportunity to contact anyone. The only practical way for anyone who has been detained to file a habeas petition is for a friend or family member to know that they've been taken and hire a lawyer for them. If you're kidnapped, you have no way of knowing where you and you have no way of hiring an attorney for yourself.
  4. The system is its actors.
  5. These are not deportation. “Deportation” refers to a specific process by which an immigrant gets a hearing in front of an immigration judge and if they are not qualified to stay in America are returned to their country of origin. These are kidnappings and illegal imprisonment performed under the color of law.
  6. Oh good, he's citing AI now.
  7. A fucking Reagan appointee just noted that this is a path to perfect lawlessness and supposedly-not-a-nazi Ojo is here explaining that actually it's fine. You're either lying to us or to yourself, and I'm entirely out of patience for people doing either.
  8. Let's say ICE black bags you in New York. Within one hour, they move you to New Jersey, then within two hours they fly you to Louisiana. Within another 12 hours, they're flying you to El Salvador. During this time, you're not told where you even are and you're not allowed to contact anyone. How the fuck are you going to file a habeas petition in the correct jurisdiction? We all have issues right now. Some of us are more honest about them than others.
  9. I think I hate you more than the actual nazis.
  10. *Roberts rubber stamping the summary execution order for Ojo* Ojo: "It's still too early to say whether Roberts is a jurist committed to an honest interpretation of the law or if he's a political hack."
  11. A compliant tech press that until recently thought their jobs were more PR than journalism and happened to be looking to anoint the next Genius after Jobs died probably isn't THE explanation for Elon, but it's certainly part of the explanation.
  12. Full employment does not mean 0 unemployment. We were already at full employment. And other countries putting tariffs on a few luxury goods that they import from us and don't produce themselves is literally not a fucking problem for anyone in America. You said it yourself, they don't make golf carts in Honduras and still buy them from American companies; their rich assholes just pay a little more for them. If you're talking to a conservative who thinks that's a problem, ask him why he wants to cut taxes on cartel bosses.
  13. And bringing this back to the main topic of the thread, now is the time to go "hey, are you starting to think you might've gotten conned?"
  14. Yes, it's resonated because for decades now virtually everyone else involved in discussing American politics has validated it in an attempt to seem reasonable instead of pointing out that it's obvious bullshit. We should try something new.
  15. Imagine letting Jim Cramer dunk on you. Lol.
  16. People believe that Democrats are far left radicals because that's what people in the "center" say, because every time a center-left Democrat runs for office they say "I'm not like those crazy communist Democrats, I'm a salt of the earth farmer/military veteran with a conservative background and conservative values who just thinks my opponent is a little bit too far right!" "Democrats are far left communists out of touch with American values" is literally Republican propaganda and tens of millions of dumbasses do their work for them by mindlessly repeating it.
  17. Telling swing voters that the Democratic agenda aligns with the far left is how we've gotten here. You're part of the problem you're decrying. Stop it.
  18. *echo
  19. No, not except immigration. One of the first things Harris did as VP was go on national television and tell immigrants not to come, Biden ramped up deportations, and the Dems negotiated an extremely conservative immigration bill that had the most racist republicans in Congress salivating before Trump ordered them to kill it.
  20. GOP propaganda gets negged, dipshit.
  21. I don't really believe Trump himself picked the formula, unless he's actually bought into the AI = god shit that Elon and Thiel believe. More likely, he just doesn't want people thinking that he outsourced his favorite policy to a bunch of underlings.
  22. A reminder that SCOTUS has always sucked.
