If you’re going to cite works by Phillip K Dick, I suggest either “Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said” or “A Scanner Darkly.”

So now you're telling me that Trump is subject to laws, I don't know but it seems pretty unlikely.

This whole administration needs to go to prison, preferably in Ghana or El Salvador.

I'm waiting for these government lawyers to be hauled in front of a judge for lying through their teeth. Is that not illegal? Where are the GD contempt charges??

I was at rallies for Kilmar - with my senator Chris Van Hollen and outside the Greenbelt Courthouse. I can’t believe all the posts on FB and Threads( I quit Twitter in 2022) parroting the lies of the regime. I know there are many fake and hacked accts but also ignorant bigoted MAGAts. And I would rather have Kilmar and his family as neighbors instead of any MAGAts.

I don’t understand why they’re so desperate to fuck over this particular guy.

To wear people down and make an example for Kilmar so others won’t even bother to try and fight deportations. But a surprising thing happened, Kilmar and his supporters didn’t give up and the outcome is not what Trump and his ilk expected to move forward with their authoritarian regime.

They wanted to make an example of him, and they wanted to normalize Fugitive Slave Act -level bounty hunting for cash

Especially foor Patriot Boys who have trouble getting other regular jobs precisely because they are bigoted and violent

Look up who they hired for "brownshirts" in Nazi Germany, and then don't overthink it

Willful and malicious stupidity should be a capital crime. Following the precedent of the Spartacus executions, all the Trumpist idiots involved in this fiasco should be crucified on the interstate between DC and Baltimore.

Keep it closer to Baltimore- traffic is bad enough here in the DC burbs

You know your country is in trouble when dystopian authors describe it better than political scientists do.

Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

“… claiming that the 2019 order withholding removal implied the existence of an order of removal.”

Can this BS line just be ordered to be put on the epitaph of the GOP … and of the USA? Or is our great nation simply moving, Seuss-like, on-beyond-embarrassment? If the latter, I’d like to go with the ‘I like green eggs and ham’ folks. I’ll eat almost anything, but I’m tired of being fed hypocrisy.

Or perhaps the works of Theodore Seuss Geisel:

You may not deport him in a box

You may not deport him in his socks

You may not deport him to Uganda

You may not deport him to Rwanda

Your court filings have a fatal taint

You may not deport him, Uncle Sam You Ain't

I can just imagine that his home in Baltimore is surrounded by fucking ICE agents, waiting for him to step outside.

Hubby was, for some reason, watching the local Sinclair affiliate this morning and they ran this story. In the same sentence they mentioned how he was "deported mistakenly, then returned to the US to face charges"

My rage held no bounds at that point
