Are we now in full blown fascist totalitarianism?

[Elixir]

The POTUS does not have Constitutional authority to regulate how states run their elections.

Since when did lack of constitutional authority stop him from trying?

Right? Who needs authority when you have immunity and THUGS to carry out your bidding?

So was wondering if anyone could help me out here. We have clear evidence right in front of our eyes that we have people in power willing to send innocent people to slavery and torture for the sole purpose of creating a propaganda reel and create terror, for the sole purpose of entrenching their power. Even if you are one of the sickos that gets hard watching the videos, isn't there any kind of "oh shit" realization that these people have absolutely no limits on what they will do when it benefits them? Even if you enjoy seeing immigrants being tortured, why doesn't the thought cross the mind that supporting this kind of power is like playing Russian Roulette? It's all fun until the bullet blows through your brain?

I just don't see how delusion is enough to explain it away. They know exactly what is happening (which is why they jerk off to the video). Maybe some sort of psychiatric condition to believe they could never be a target? Maybe a willingness to collaborate and therefore be useful? A delusion that the guy in power will always target other people no matter what?

From a self preservation standpoint, it just doesn't make sense. Maybe they are being led by their sadistic dicks and are so nihilistic they couldn't give two shits if humans go extinct? Any psychologists that can chime in?

People cheer for their team.

And those who cheer loudest and most publically for the Nazis genuinely do have the least to fear, and the most to gain, from the Nazis being in power.

Of course, having the least to fear is a far cry from having nothing to fear. But denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

But why would one think their team will always be in power, or that the guy in power will not suddenly redefine who is on the team and who is not when the opportunity happens to be convenient? One example is Steve Bannon. He opposes Elon Musk. Maybe one day it becomes convenient to make the favored team be those on Team Musk and the enemy are those who are Anti Musk. I suppose the raw viceral pleasure at the cruelty perhaps suppresses these kind of thoughts. Who gives a fuck about the future when my dick is hard in the moment?

And now they are engaging in full court press cover up:

The Trump administration invoked a state secrets privilege Monday and refused to give a federal judge any additional information about the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under war authorities.

Boasberg, the chief judge of the federal district court in Washington, has asked for details about when the planes landed and who was on board, information that the Trump administration asserts would harm "diplomatic and national security concerns"

And, remember, they filmed the planes landing and the flight data was publically available, and the names of the people leaked to the press.

In other words, the Administration is violating the Constitution, but Trump is King so it cannot be challenged. The judge must stand down.

Definitely time for a 2A “solution”.

The information sought by the Court is subject to the state secrets privilege because disclosure would pose reasonable danger to national security and foreign affairs. Because there is no need for the requested disclosures, the Court must resolve the application based on the Cabinet level declarations submitted with this motion.

How is the deportation of people a danger to national security. I'm sick of Trump and the GOP using the "national security" phrase to cover up any bullshit they want to enact, from tariffs on Canadian aluminum to illegal deportations. They are no different than the villain in Lethal Weapon 2 with his "Diplomatic immunity" shit.

I Google for Presidential Approval polls, wondering when Americans will come to their senses.

"Rasmussen Reports is the only nationally recognized public opinion firm that still tracks President Trump's job approval ratings on a daily basis.​

1,500 likely voters +/- 3%"​

As you see on the attachment Approval of Trump-47 is about as high as it ever was, though Disapproval is up slightly: 38% from 34%.

There WAS high disapproval during the first week of March; what was that about?

AFAICT there are many Trump voters saying "Yes I disapprove of blah and blah, but I approve of his goals and at lest he's not raising the price of eggs."

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Trump was enacting, not enacting, thinking of enacting, temporarily enacting tariffs... and being quite the dick about it.

How is the deportation of people a danger to national security.

It isn't those guys who are the danger to national security, it is the reveal that is a danger, i.e. revealing that they've had Agent BigBallz writing spaghetti code and "AI" to basically reimplement project TALON with newer IT technology. Or revealing the secret illegal deals they made with South American countries to send prisoners there. Whatever they've done has to be hush-hush and a judge upon finding out would cause all kinds of problems for them. We can only hope their incompetence will lead to inviting the judge to their Signal chat.

DHS detains grad student who advocated for Palestine and the "humanity of all people"

Rumeysa Ozturk, a student at Tufts University, drew the attention of a pro-Israel group for co-authoring an op-ed

www.salon.com

All she did was co-author an op-ed a year ago. The content was about divesting and an opinion about genocide. That's it.

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

What is more disturbing is that these very small people are even on their radar.

 

[Axulus]

2-1 exactly as I thought.

Next stop supreme court, where I predict this decision will be upheld 6-3 (Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh dissenting)

For all of you dramacrats going on about this, what we at least no longer have is a border problem anymore. As Trump himself said at his inaugural address, congress did not need to pass any more laws. All our country needed was a new president. The illegals flooding through the gates during Biden's term are thinking twice about doing it now. Trump has resolved at least one of his campaign promises. He has fixed the border already.

You can call all this cruel and bad and you may even be right. After all, no one likes to see criminals get punished. It is unsettling for someone so dignified as yourself to see. But this punishment is the exact deterrence preventing more crime over the border. Illegals just aren't coming across anymore and for good reason.

"Our borders are secure, all we had to do was give up our republic and accept a fascist dictatorship. If innocent people have to be tortured and sent to slavery without due process, that is A OK by me."

Same thing could've been said about the holocaust:

"At least our Jewish criminal problems have been solved."

More reporting on additional innocents sent to El Salvador gulag. One was a baker who was sent for having an "autism awareness" tattoo in honor of his autistic brother:

The men disappeared to El Salvador because of their tattoos

The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

It hasn’t. But if SCOTUS doesn’t stop that, we can kiss democracy goodbye.
