Well, here’s an explanation of the law that you’re pretending to know something about: https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IF/PDF/IF11357/IF11357.5.pdf It lays out the exactly when “expedited removal” applies. It doesn’t require a trial or hearing, but it does lay out under what conditions someone can get a hearing and on what grounds. It’s a good balance of expediency in obvious situations with a due process remedy to catch mistakes. Give it a read. It’s interesting stuff. It’ll serve you better than… whatever that little outburst was.

Our entire system of government is predicated on the idea that Marco Rubio’s personal credibility isn’t a legally binding construct. I suspect you know that. It seems perfectly plausible most of these guys were illegal shit bags. Cool. Stick them in front of a judge, prove it, send them on their way to whatever hell hole prison you like. There’s no reason to not do it right. Edit: Rather, there are reasons to not do it right. It’s just that none of them are good.

I don’t know and neither do you. That’s what due process is for.

Who’s against deporting them? The debate here is between deporting them with or without due process.

For anyone who actually cares about the topic itself, this is the legal analysis written during Bush 2 that has been the guiding principle: “The President need not personally perform the physical act of affixing his signature to a bill he approves and decides to sign in order for the bill to become law. Rather, the President may sign a bill within the meaning of Article I, Section 7 by directing a subordinate to affix the President’s signature to such a bill, for example by autopen.” I get that the argument is that Biden was too senile to possibly knowingly direct a subordinate to autopen on his behalf, but there are remedies to remove an unfit president and those weren’t taken. It’s a can of worms to say we get to go back and relitigate every law or executive order based on what we think the mental state of the president was at the time. I mean, I’m willing to declare Trump functionally illiterate, and incapable of understanding the documents put in front of him (I.e. not understanding the mechanics of tariffs), but he is the president. Unless he’s removed from office, that’s that.

This is a pretty cool legal theory. Autopen signatures aren’t valid unless you can prove that the President had specific knowledge of the thing being signed, and maybe not even then. That makes a ton of sense in the case of fraudulent signatures that the President didn’t intend, assuming this is a thing that happens. But that’s only tenable if the standard is that voiding something requires proof of fraud, not a presumption of fraud. Otherwise, none of you are retired. Your retirement orders were auto penned and the President was very likely entirely unaware you even exist or that the order was signed. Careful what you wish for.

Fair question. Generally, I’d say that to the extent the president is responsible for the performance of the economy, there is a big lag of even a year or two. But Trump came in and started banging the sticks around far more aggressively than anyone else ever has in my lifetime. You can see the markets reaction responding to him minute by minute. What he’s doing is different and I think he owns the consequences. It’s fair to look at his actions and draw a line. There isn’t some blanket “if your economy after x months” rule. It’s situational and this situation is radically different.

This is not a thing. If you think this is a thing, you are wrong. Whoever is telling you this is a thing is a lying to you. If you believe whoever is telling this to you, you are a sucker.

Always thought the middle nihilist and Jim Slife looked eerily similar.

It’s all just nihilism.

Sure. If you’ve Zen-chilled yourself into not giving a f**k, easy day.

Can you bang out a list of the five things you did this week in ten minutes? If it’s for your boss or your chain who already has some context on what you do for the sake of keeping them informed, definitely. No big deal. But if it’s for someone with zero context or knowledge — maybe even Grok AI that knows even less — and if they don’t understand it or like it you lose your job… oh, and they’re coming at it from a place of wanting to axe you? That’s much harder. Not the same things.

Okay, then I’m not talking to you personally. Carry on.

Thats not our point. We know you are against spending increases and that Brabus is genuinely concerned about the deficit. The point is that less than a month in, the GOP is proving it doesn’t share those values at all, and that DOGE is saving pennies over here to distract you while you while they rob you over there.

And just like that, proof it was never about the budget: https://www.zerohedge.com/political/house-republicans-advance-trump-agenda-final-vote-looms-tonight “The House's resolution lays out a $1.5 trillion floor for spending cuts across committees with a final target of $2 trillion, as well as a $4.5 trillion ceiling on the deficit impact of any GOP plan to extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts, The Hill reports. It also includes $300 billion in additional spending on the border and defense, as well as a $4 trillion debt limit increase.”
