Today April 14, 2025, the United States officially becomes a dictatorship, as the President of the United States openly refuses to obey the Supreme Court.
Sad, sad day…
I’ve had it. Have you? We dont have to take this. No matter how scary it might seem.
I left the US 24 years ago. I saw all this coming when Dubya shat out the USA Patriot Act.
The US has been a fascist country for decades. Just ask any Gitmo detainee… Now it’s official.
The heritage foundation wrote the Patriot act, I’m pretty sure I remember reading, that’s why it was ready so quickly after 9/11, just like project 2025, it was massively unpopular but they used a national tragedy to sneak it in.
I can well believe that.
Whoever it was, it wasn’t Dubya, anymore than any of the shit Trump is doing was his idea: both are much too dumb to come up with any of this.
He’s openly talking about shipping US citizens off to a foreign prison; if there’s ever going to be a cause to rise up over, it’s this.
The time to rise against Trump was before the election. Because frankly, unless you’re willing to risk being shipped off to a concentration camp without due process or worse, whatchagondo about it now…?
I mean, I agree with you on principle, but that’s like saying “The best time to rise up against Trump was 2016.” Yes, but also we’re well past that now and a ‘We should have done X’ attitude isn’t going to solve any problems. Better to look forward and consider what we should do now.
I agree with you that you can’t change the past and you can only change the present - and that’s it’s not terribly constructive to say coulda-shoulda.
But honestly… It takes a particularly dim-witted individual to vote for Trump the first time, and a complete and utter moron to do it again the second time. It’s not like nobody could see any of this shit coming, and anybody with an IQ above room temperature knew this was gonna happen. That’s what’s so damning!
Can we compile a go fund me to hire mercenaries to rescue this clearly innocent man from an obviously terroristic broken nation-state?
That’s one helluva team of mercenaries you’re gonna need to storm that ultra-militarized Salvadorian concentration camp and sift through 40,000 innmates all dressed in white with shaved heads to find the poor dude whose life Trump ruined.
It only just occurred to me. Could they be refusing simply because they have no idea which one of them is him?
Here’s another thing that went through my mind: they’re refusing because the guy is already dead.
I am starting to think there was no “administrative error” here (but both malice and incompetence may apply). it is within reason to think that someone in the administration believed this guy was useful to prove the point.
Salvadorian citizen with a standing protective court order the administration could flout. ship him off to a Salvadorian torture prison and the whole thing becomes murky, messy, with enough blured lines to tie things up in knots while justice and fairness are given the middle finger.
regardless, I think we are now over the edge.
I think we are now over the edge
Indeed. I fully believe Apr 14, 2025 will be the date chosen by history and whatever equivalent of the Nuremberg trial of Trump and his henchmen a few years from now for the official beginning of the US dictatorship.
