In an attempt to argue that ICE protestors are radically out of control, the emergency appeal argues, “The federal agents’ efforts are met with prolonged, coordinated, violent resistance that threatens their lives and safety and systematically interferes with their ability to enforce federal law.” The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment.
The White House was caught trying to pass off footage of violence in red states as footage from the “chaos” in Chicago last week.
I’m pretty sure he can just go if he wants to
This is it, supreme court. This is the moment where you choose to press the self destruct button on the republic. On “we, the people”.
This is the moment in history where you choose the new Klu Klux King of Chaos and Concentration Camps for profit, where you choose the fat orange faced man who is embodiment of stupidity and stupid hatred over the Constitution and the promise of a nation where the people choose their leaders.
You’re mistaken if you think there’s a constitution left for you to interpret. No, there’s just a vehicle in the night and some guns with masks.
lol welp let’s just say I’m not optimistic
Even if the Supreme Court rules against Trump in the case, there’s no guarantee that Trump will abide by the decision. In a Thursday interview with The New York Times, Justice Amy Coney Barrett admitted that the Supreme Court has no power to ensure the president obeys its decisions.
He keeps violating supreme Court laws and nobody has the balls to arrest him for it.
If he doesn’t abide by the decision then SCOTUS and Congress need to issue an arrest warrant for him and his administration
lol yeah sure but that would never happen
LMAO Yes the right wing pedos will get right on that
lol welp let’s just say I’m not optimistic
Me neither. Me neither.
At its most basic level, society is just a mutual non-aggression pact with the enforcement mechanism of the state monopoly on violence. The condition of that monopoly is that state violence must be used in an unbiased and dispassionate way. Any violations of this condition are only tolerated to the extent that open war is mutually assured destruction, a decidedly worse outcome.
The politicians inciting violence and the oligarchs supporting them should realize that if state violence leads to open war, the pact is broken and there are no more rules.
That’s another sad part of this. A war would be disastrous for everyone involved and even if the good guys win America would never regain its place on the world stage like it is now.
If we get weaker (because of internal war) every other world power would do everything in thier power to make sure we never got the influence we had back.
I am not sure about America losing power long-term, if Antifa took the reins after a civil war. A great deal of America’s current strength comes from inertia, but the institutions, egalitarianism, and education to power the future was already dwindling before Trump. A refreshed America might unlock a great deal of potential that was stalled by bad politics and an unfair economy.
For example, universal healthcare. A post-war America might be able to readily heal everybody within its borders, which frees up time for those people to do other things - inventing, creating, raising family, going to 3rd places, and so forth. The mental and physical wellbeings of every individual, in turn, affects the mindset of a nation as a whole.
Good.
The loss of influence, that is. The US’s outsized influence on the world stage has not exactly been a boon.
Im not going to say America being this powerful is good for the world. It certainly makes life easier for Americans being this powerhouse.
Too easy. The populace got soft and complacent, allowing this.
So you? You are to soft and complacent and would like a more difficult life?
It’s absolutely wild that our society is being repeatedly tested at the civilian level right now… I cannot fucking believe we’ve been able to resist violence as much as we have without returning it.
Just goes to prove most people aren’t like Trump, and they certainly aren’t even remotely resembling what Trump paints us as. He’s genuinely confused and frustrated by the lack of response.
These are the kinds of discussions you will never see on reddit, anything implying that the masses could turn violent against a tyrant is deleted and banned.
Even if the Supreme Court rules against Trump in the case, there’s no guarantee that Trump will abide by the decision. In a Thursday interview with The New York Times, Justice Amy Coney Barrett admitted that the Supreme Court has no power to ensure the president obeys its decisions.
Jesus fucking christ 🫠
That is possible but remember that Trump Always Chickens Out. For a good reason, too. If he fucks up too much, the military could turn on him, and he knows it.
Trump’s literal favorite president is Andrew Jackson, Mr. “Let him enforce it” himself.
These rich think they can hide deep enough to ride out the war they are waging on us all. LOL
Someone here posted months ago a thing that stuck with me. The next big war will be between the rich and the poor. The rich will win before the poor realize they’re in battle.
There are more of us then them, we are more self sufficient than them, we are more resilient than them, we are more desperate than them. The real world is our natural environment, the rich are the arrogant invaders. Vietnam comes to mind when I think what a war of rich vs poor might look like. It won’t be near misses and broken escalators for long, when a sufficiently large number of people become sufficiently mad, their ivory towers will become prisons.
Yeah, the rich win right up to the point that the people they pay to fight for them switch sides.
Yeah, but the really shitty thing is that there are a lot of poor people who will fight and die for the rich side because they think it’s right.
This is generally the compact. If you kill all the cattle, you’re fucked. We’re the cattle. The con is supposed to be that they feed and water us and we enable their lifestyle. But they are forgetting their job due to unchecked greed/avarice.
Let me start a civil war!
States rights, huh?
Well, see ya later.
Play them pianos Chicago.
