    Trump going against the Constitution again. Sadly, not surprising to me.

    It’s extremely alarming. It’s explicitly against the law to deport U.S. criminals to foreign countries without their consent. America is quickly becoming a dictatorship. What else is there to say?

    I don’t think that classifies as a “hot mic” moment.

    I think a solution is required.  Donald Trump is clearly unfit as President.  He is hell-bent on being a dictator and ignoring the rule of law and the Constitution.

    I think it illustrates the stupidest quality of Conservatism. Consider the Target boycott and the protests against Tesla.

    If people didn’t feel they had to stand up and fight for their existence, those people would still be going to Target every week and no one would have a cross word about Tesla had Elon not thrown his stupid hat into the ring.

    Egalitarian societies are always more prosperous and stable in the long term, and authoritarian societies are always poor and unstable. These billionaires cuddling Trump would have ultimately made more money if everyone thought they were free to just be, rather than mobilizing half the damn planet to use their money to protest Trump.

    To answer your question, it sounds pretty bad. The fact that our country chose this willingly and with the popular vote truly defeated me. I’ve been working on blocking out my empathy for strangers because it’s too painful.

    I think Trump has a habit of saying the quiet part out loud, and the scariest thing to me is that people STILL don’t take him seriously when he does it.

    When he starts making rambling, incoherent speeches about who will be the first lucky recipient of a big, beautiful nuclear strike – the best, mind you, the very best anyone has ever seen, so beautiful – I hope the intended targets pay close attention to every word. Because he WILL follow through on every ridiculous idea he spits out, just to prove that no one will stop him.

    TO-DO List:

    #1) Make list of everything Trump said but everyone said “would never happen” that did indeed happen.

    #2) Publish and broadcast

    #3) Repeat indefinitely.
    (PS: I think it is precious that you people think he doesn’t know exactly what he is saying and when a mic is capturing his words or not. HINT: These are called “trial balloons”)

  38. andy_nony_mouse Avatar

    No due process. No bringing back wrongly deported people. No accountability. Trump claims he can run as many times as he wants. He is a king, we are living under tyranny and the people seem fine with it. This is scary as shit. The “don’t tread on me” people, who should be freaking out, are cheering him on. It’s all fucked up.

    This is absolutely terrifying.

    We are already sending innocent* people to this horrific torture camp, a place no one leaves alive, without charges or trial, while Trump thumbs his nose at the courts and openly refuses to retrieve people who were sent there illegally.

    And now he wants to do that to 200,000 US citizens? That’s what five CECOTs would hold.

    • OK, not all of them were innocent, a few were actually convicted of serious crimes, but for most the allegation is that they were gang members and those allegations appear to be completely unsubstantiated.

    I just want to mention the Central Park Five. All five of those men were proven innocent. But Trump was hellbent on them being guilty. He still is. These will be the “very violent criminals” he thinks are home grown and abduct to the gulags. There will be zero due process and black and brown citizens will take the worst hit.

    I made this comment based on things they’re openly admitting to while trying to pretend there’s nothing wrong with it. We’re at naturalized citizens now, and it has only been a few days since I made that comment.

  51. Tweaky_Tweakum Avatar

    Deportation was a threat for illegal aliens. It predictably became a reality for foreigners with legal status. Now, the Fuhrer is saying American citizens are next. He throws around the example of violent criminals, but it will not stop there. A President above the law can send any of us to a prison in El Salvador on a whim. This is where the MAGA reality show is headed. You have been warned.

  52. Shigglyboo Avatar

    was it really a hot mic? I thought he said this and they all laughed. seriously yesterday I heard this as just regular news. now it’s a “hot mic”?

    Of course he’s gonna do it. every shitty thing we all worried about in 2016 has come to pass and worse. we are currently at the “innocent people have been rounded up and shipped off to a death camp” and nobody is doing anything about it.

    Of course trump will label anyone who disagrees with him a terrorist. it’s already happening. and he’ll get away with it. because who’s gonna stop him?

    When fascists get caught on an open mic generally you should believe them.

    But republicans have shown themselves to be spineless traitors already, so doubt that will change. GOP Congress is MIA since voters neutered Dems in the election and now we are goosestepping toward worse case scenarios…

  74. nedrith Avatar

    Trump’s administration is currently trying to tell the courts that as long as the administration can get someone to a foreign country illegally then they are under no obligation to get them back even if a court orders it.

    Trump is trying to tear down free speech and deporting people who are permanent residents. I have no doubt that he will be trying to deport actual citizens. He’ll probably use the excuse that neither of their parents were citizens when they were born but from there it will devolve to people who were.

    Trump doesn’t care about the constitution, and republicans don’t seem to want to stop him.

    Even if you wanted to argue they are criminals, not all of them are, that doesn’t mean they should be shipped to a foreign prison, likely serving life sentences for minor crimes, all without a proper legal hearing. We should care more about the rule of law.

    Even if you believe Trump was politically prosecuted, he was prosecuted in a court of law. He was found liable for the equivalent of rape, he was found to have committed felonies, he likely would have been found guilty of illegally retaining classified documents and for Jan. 6th. He wasn’t just thrown in a jail without a hearing. He was given the ability to defend himself and instead attacked the court systems. He is ruling like a dictator, ignoring any court ruling he doesn’t like. One of these days hopefully we will wake up and realize that just because we like something doesn’t mean we should do it.

    How many times are we going to hear his direct statements and go “what do you think?” as if there is some level of nuance or subtlety to his desires? It’s far beyond time to think he *fucking means it* as incomprehensibly stupid and pointlessly cruel as it may seem. We’re working with a president who has spent more than a *decade* clearly identifying himself as a dangerous combination of vindictive and mentally unstable.
