“Mass deportations aren’t just inhumane,” one congresswoman said. “Trump has a recipe for economic disaster. Farmers, workers, and consumers… all pay the price.”

    Think how much better America could be if all the MAGAts were deported instead. I don’t know who would be willing to take them aside from Russia, but I also don’t care as long as they’re not here.

    The article is a good starter, and we need to go much further now, before the horrible shit begins.

    They will absolutely throw US citizens out of the country because they “look foreign”. This happened decades ago, and it will certainly happen again. They will absolutely throw asylum seekers out of the country, in violation of international treaty. They will absolutely disenfranchise anyone they feel like. They will absolutely ignore the Bill of Rights.

    Remember, my friends, the Bill of Rights protects all people in the US, not only the citizens. Everyone, regardless of citizenship, has the right to due process. But will the courts care? The Fifth Circuit is bat-shit crazy, but the Ninth Circuit is less off their rockers. And even if the courts care, how will they regulate things if the people who would have standing are already dumped over the border?

    What happens if the governor, sheriff, or police chief opposes the President’s directives? In theory the military would be supporting law enforcement, and most law enforcement is state and local. What happens when states disagree with the feds? Who gets to decide when an emergency exists, or ends? It can’t be the President alone, for obvious reasons.

    … We need to be thinking of this level of detail.

    Slam is so passé. Convicted is now incrédule.

    Until someone does something about it, I propose ‘deep-fried’ or ‘fattened’.

        For everything else, there’s MuskyCard™

        Sorry. I actually used to teach Photoshop to graphic designers but I can’t be assed to a) use Adobe ever and b) put any effort in with those images on my screen. Or hard drive.

          In fairness that’s probably exactly what that card would look like if either of those two had a hand in designing it.

    Who really gives a fuck at this point. When trump is done and a whole bunch of people have their lives ruined and/or ended then maybe voters will get their heads out of their asses and actually vote for real progressives in the future.
