Summary

Trump claimed ignorance regarding the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants, stating he did not sign the order and that “other people handled it.”

Despite Trump’s claim, CNN confirmed the executive order bears his signature.

A federal judge ordered the deportation flights halted, but the administration defied the order, citing it as verbal and nonbinding.

Trump and his administration criticized the judge, with Attorney General Pam Bondi asserting the judiciary has no authority to challenge immigration decisions.

    So then all of those people who did it and acted on it were kidnapping. Great, lock them up.

      This is far too easy to comprehend for a quote from that stack of rancid orange whale shit. There needs to be lots more tangents and useless bits of inane waffling in there.

    Ah so it was autopen. Then it needs rescinding doesn’t it according to your own logic.

    Dick head.

    Also just confirms he isn’t running the show. The “deep state” and his “handlers” are, according to MAGA logic.

      Knew that whole “Biden didn’t even sign the EOs!” had to be projection and setting up for something. Here it is. They don’t even need him to rubberstamp shit anymore, just full Weekend at Bernie’s with our senile walking corpse president. Hooray.

    If Joe Biden had claimed he didn’t sign something after he obviously did, the top story would have been all about whether he still had the mental competence to lead…

    Afraid of everything, a coward given all the power of the executive and capable of only whining, shifting blame, and scapegoating the working class and poor. How evil do you have to be to deny asylum seekers and refugees?

    Didn’t he say the other day that Biden’s pardons are not valid because he didn’t personally sign them? Does this make Trump’s expulsion orders also not valid? Ah sorry it only counts when other people do it.

    Also he just admitted he just signs whatever and had no idea what he just signed actually contains. Either that or these “other people” faked his signature which is another can of work on its own. Maybe he’ll blame it on the deep state lol.

    Such a clown show it puts professional clowns to shame.
