Death to Kings.
As someone outside the US, I was told that people were very keen on keeping lots of guns to react in case the government tried to pull this kind of shit. When’s the part where they react?
I’m sarcastic; I know why it isn’t happening, and realistically it would be a terrible thing, but, you know, we’re living in the weirdest time.
I knew it - to the qons, the Constitution is just something they like to talk about, but don’t really care about.
A hearing is part of deportation.
Without Due Process it’s literally just human trafficking, which is a felony in every single state.
Without due process Trump would be in jail, so he’s very much aware if it’s importance.
“Cannot give every person it wants to deport a trial” can be freely translated to “nobody would get deported”.
“Trump can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but Trump cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”
Which stage are we at now? Have enough people been fooled yet?
How about… We can not give every tax to US that it wants tax for, there is just too many.
Well yeah, why do you think the billionaires don’t pay taxes? Can you imagine counting out all those millions? Just easier to skip them, they give enough as it is already. /s
It literally has too. It’s in the constitution.
We passed that point when we ignored the 14th amendment.
I don’t think you know the meaning of “has to”. The law, including the constitution, isn’t any more “real” than money. It only exists because enough people agree it does and follow it.
The fact people have literally already been deported without trial proves they don’t “have to”.
Trump and his lackeys also figured out that it’s easier to do something illegal and wait for courts to catch up than to try to get greenlighted beforehand
But the constitution gives me constipation.
But it takes too loooong!
That’s not the reason they’re avoiding it, the reason is that they can’t be sure that their case will be heard by one of their corrupt justices. They haven’t yet covered all their bases.
All their bases aren’t belong to them.
For example, Greenland, Diego Garcia and Okinawa are all leased.
Main screen turn on !
I can’t follow all of the laws of this country, there’s just simply too many of them
Then you can’t deport, numb nuts.
I think everyone in this thread needs to re-watch the scene where Littlefinger and Cercei discuss power.
Uh oh.
Whattt? Is Trump saying that the US of A, the “greatest” country in the world, can’t engage in its secondmost favourite activity which is literally suing people?
Not picking favourites, but the Biden administration, not even the Clinton administration, had this “skill issue”.
Be careful, “greatest” has never been a good match with USA. Never. My ears hurt when I hear that.
Impeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
He’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
In each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
Oh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
He didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed
Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
Republicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
Underlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
Impeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.
Iirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
Only two thirds of the senate

And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
Just a pull of an index finger.
I thought this was how he was elected.
Lol.
America the brave is sitting by while a fat, orange felon rapist shits on our Constitution and tanks our economy.
The brave are exercising their freedom to be fucked
That’s such a coincidence. Some guillotining could be done without trials too!
“THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.”
― Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court
That’s metal af.
*should
Some guillotining should be done without trials too.
