If you’re a Democrat there is no political upside to coming out publicly for Khalil.
I had read somewhere that Khalil has some diplomatic experience and possible connections to the UK. I’m wondering if the U.S. politicians know something about him that the rest of us don’t.
The entire world benefits from a strong America.
Well, we’re about to test that hypothesis. The world is going to have to go it alone for a little while.
In South Texas you should see how the “established” Hispanic community treats the “new arrivals”. It’s horrific. I have been told the folks who can trace their family back three or four generations don’t see themselves as Hispanic at this point. Joke’s on them, they’re still “Mexican” to Trump.
They’ve got relatives and friends who vote. And I’ll play the odds that at least half of the men these folks know support Trump too.
If he really means that, then Punxsutawney Trump has just forecast another four years of recession.
They’ve also really amped up the content moderation bots and are on the warpath for anything perceived to be bot accounts. Shadow bans are being given out for accounts that are hours old and haven’t even posted.
Winnie the Pooh sucks my ass.
Heh. Don’t do that from an account that you like or has a lot of karma.
Reddit admins are a bunch of shit eating peckerwoods now.
Rich people trying to buy land for their own slice of paradise goes way back. Solano County is recent history, young squire. I go back to the Free State project from 2001, same song and dance. Or the non-government wet dream of Sealand off the coast of England in 1987, ditto. And if one wants to go even more old school than that, look at the rich Confederate plantation owners that went to Brazil after the CSA fell in 1865. You can even go down to the town of Americana every year and celebrate the Confederacy! These fuckers wanted to deny that they lost so badly that they created a false reality in Brazil.
His buddy Vlad won’t allow that!
Ah, my mistake lol.
Well yea, that’s exactly what he’s after: Small parts of the country, mainly Federal Circuits that aren’t perceived to be “friendly” will have injunctions while those that grab their ankles for Trump and give him whatever he wants (i.e. the 5th) don’t do an injunction and the states are free to not grant citizenship at will.
Conservatives relied on these national injunctions during the Biden admin just the way liberal groups are now. It’s dangerous to prognosticate with this Supreme Court but nationalwide injunctions have their purpose and I don’t see this changing.
It should also be pointed out that Roberts has expressed dismay already with forum shopping. In 2023(?) he tried to pressure the Northern District of Texas to change its venue rules so parties couldn’t just keep filing in Amarillo. The presiding judge of the ND declined. So this has been an issue on Roberts’s radar for awhile. That may lead to some unforseen changes.
I don’t think he does it for deterence. I believe he’s thinking in terms of a bullet shield. Did you ever see that movie New Jack City and the shootout scene at the wedding?
This is the part that comes to my head every time I see him with that kid (Watch Wesley Snipes 35 seconds in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSDVsG3dciU&ab_channel=VeeXXL
Headline is a tad ambitious. This action is procedural in nature and does not / will not address the merits of the case. The Trump admin is asking the Supreme Court to strike down the three national injunctions and limit the scope of the birthright orders to only apply to citizens in the states where it was granted.
What did we hear from Trumpers last year, that he was the candidate for peace or some such shit?
He senses it coming too, hence the reason for wearing his son like a kevlar helmet.
You hit it on the head!
I’m all about trying to obstruct what the GOP are doing…but what’s the gain in picking this fight? What’s the “better deal” to be had?
If I were a GOPer that truly cared about the national debt, I’d be pissed that Johnson is passing an extension of Biden spending priorities after he said back in December that the budget fight would come in March. Of course we’ll see how many “budget hawks” actually remember that conversation.
This being a continuing budget resolution for part of a fiscal year, it cannot be passed that way.
A nice long winding drive down the PCH seems just the ticket…
Best sign yet that Schumer done fucked up.
