The thrust of Alitos dissent is: Sure, maybe the Trump administration was going to defy our unambiguous ruling and illegally deport people to a Salvadoran gulag in the dead of night. But our court MAY have cut some corners in racing to stop that from happening, which is just as bad if not worse!

(20,382 posts)The very wealthy helped the regime get here, but now they're as imprisoned as we are. And going ape shit over the crazed tariff crap. You think Jeff Bezos signed up for having most of what he's hawking on the interwebs more than doubling in price overnight? No, this isn't a money grubbing scheme anymore. This is ideology. This is about remaking America into some theocratic fascist nightmare. Nothing less.

That doesn't happen anymore. I'm guessing they were Blue Dog Democrats.

I'm hoping he leaves this plane of existence in a similar manner.



That's not hyperbole. These people and the nazi regime are one and the same. They're all cut from the same cloth. When this is over, they deserve the same fate.
