Some people are asking why I'm saying that it is time to go if you are leaving, and prepare to stay and expect some bad shit if you are staying in the US.
This weekend we crossed a rubicon.
-
Up until now, the Trump administration has mostly been sorta (those caveats are not an accident) obeying judicial orders. This weekend they let a plane full of migrants land in El Salvador AFTER the order came to turn the plane around.
-
A US district judge ordered that a medical professor visiting Brown University with an HB1 visa not be deported until she had hearing. They deported her anyway.
-
In the middle of the night, Trump announced an executive order rescinding the pre-emptive pardons of the January 6 committee by Joe Biden. He cannot do that, but he said he has.
NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE, if you are paying attention. It is, however a HORROR and an ESCALATION - a planned and predictable one, but an escalation.
Project 2025 is quite clear that there is no good mechanism for enforcement by federal courts. Yes, there are potential criminal penalties, including jail for most members of the administration, but they require either force or the implied threat of force to enact, and most of the power of force is in Trump's court. Moreover, he's sure he has the Supremes.
So let's be clear. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAD TO HAPPEN - that is, Trump probably would have successfully deported those folks even if the law had been followed. There was no reason to summarily rescind those executive orders, even if they could.
The Trump administration is testing the waters. They are doing intentionally illegal things on purpose to demonstrate that they can't be stopped. Then they will do more illegal things, and more serious ones.
Up until now, there have been shallow pretenses at the rule of law. Those are over. Trump and Musk and the rest will continue to push the boundaries harder and more violently and move them until we fight back enough to stop them.
Again, none of this is unpredictable, but it means that we've entered a more dangerous phase. If you are able to leave, you should. If you are able to protect yourself and others, you should. Now is the time to move.
The opportunity to act always comes before it is completely obvious that you have to. It is possible that things won't escalate quite as quickly or as badly as I think. But the signs are all there. We are a dictatorship, and the dictator is going to do as much harm as possible. Your choices now are endure, run, fight. I can't tell you what the right one is for you - all I know is it isn't "collaborate with the fuckers." And it is time to decide. I've made my choices.
Edited to add because I said it in a different post, not this one - I have 10 kids. Several with significant disabilities. I am caring for a disabled elder and disabled adult child who cannot emigrate and would not be welcome. I'm 100% aware of the difficulties. And yes, some of my kids are dependent for their lives on medication, including insulin. I GET IT. I am by no means saying "everyone go," or "these are easy choices" or "everyone has choices." I am saying that it will never be EASIER THAN TODAY to do whatever you are going to do.
And then everyone clapped.
Pretty much, and they wonder WHY Trump's approval rating is so high in the US..
Even if this were all true, which it isn't, it pales in comparison to the illegal actions taken by countless administrations of the past in scope, quantity, etc.
And unlike those actions, these are actually intended for the clear benefit of the American people.
If you still think that Trump isn’t being controlled by the same cast of characters that controlled every presidency for the last 60 years you are sorely mistaken.
That cast of characters tried to kill him twice to keep him from winning.
Doubtful it was them
A dictator who will leave office in 2028. These people live to be hyperbolic.
Honestly have to wonder about some of these judges
Trump will leave office but whatever globalist agenda he pushes forwarded will not.
Bro, why can’t you just enjoy the newest forever war against Israel’s enemies like a normal person?
That the Judicial branch is grossly overstepping the legal bounds established by the document that gives this entire government system license to exist in the first place is totally lost on the sort of person who would write that.
Federal judges don't get to order the Executive branch around, especially in areas where the Executive branch has plenary authority to act.
10 kids and adult dependents but has time to keep up with politics?
The number they put on their taxes to avoid paying that fair share they instead claim the rich don't pay. Not actually people being taken care of.
Shut the fuck up faggot.
After the last 4 years there is no reason to listen, believe or relate to people like you.
We are done communicating. Communication is useless.
Eat your fucking dinner and like it or you are going to bed hungry.
Wait a minute, OP didn't clarify this, but the title is suggesting that they didn't make this themselves and they found somebody else posting this somewhere. Can we get clarification from them that that's the case?
If not, feel free to ignore my post.
This is why grammar is important, because it took a while reading it for me to recognize that is likely the case. Something as simple as quotation marks would make it much clearer.
No, it's being spread around the social media by some random person. I did not write this. It's just a copy paste.
I meant OP
Lol
Biden was senile. He couldn't pardon shit
If they did auto pen in his name without his explicit knowledge/ authorization, then they did in fact commit massive crimes on the level of sedition and those pardons are completely null and void.
Preemptive pardons aren't even a thing. It's never been challenged.
every single law or eo that wasn't signed on camera by biden is effectively void
Literally anything is better than the faggot rainbow nigger buttfuck clownworld that has been running through academia and institutions of power for the past couple of decades in the name of "progress"
I'm Commander Shepard and this is the gayest post on the Citadel.
Stopped at Project 2025
shut up, fag. we let you people have your way for the last 80 years and look what it's gotten us.
They're so angry about things that will objectively make their lives better in the long run.
That said I absolutely take issue with a number of things trump is doing, and others I absolutely applaud.
Moral of the story is that these people believe "democracy" means getting everything they want. And when things happen that they don't want, all of a sudden it's anti-democratic or tyrannical, and then they believe they have the right to throw a hissy fit until they get what they want.
The last paragraph is awesome. Oh Reddit!
10 kids and multiple with significant disabilities. Well yeah, retardation might be hereditary.
Vaxx maxxer
Right because democrats manage the country so much more fairly lol
"TAKE THAT BACK OR WE'LL THROW YOU IN PRISON FOR INSURRECTION YOU FACIST!!!!!"
I choose to dance.
Jazz hands are fun.
They're such faggy drama queens.
I like how they throw in Musk's name even though he had nothing to do with anything they said leading up to that sentence lol
Let's hope millions take their advice, but we all know that won't happen.
Mucho texto, my man.
"Whatever I'm going to do" is watch the stock market and make some day trades.
boy those shapes the guys in the cave are holding up to the fire are awesome aren't they
