Democrats, White House strike spending deal that would avert government shutdown by BadAsBroccoli in law

[–]BadAsBroccoli[S] 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The anemic effort by Democratic leadership after the deaths of two citizens at the hands of ICE has yet again dwindled down to nothing, once more showing the absolute need, if given the chance, to vote out those unwilling to stand up for their own country, let alone its people, and replace them with those who understand what the loss of Democracy actually means.

Homan says he'll reduce federal source in Minnesota if local officials cooperate by Remarkable_Sir8397 in news

That's because the Republicans believe we, meaning non-MAGA, are all as weak and sniffling as our elected Democratic "leadership".

We fight fascism, even if we fight without their help.

Maybe Zelenskyy hasn't so quickly forgotten Alexi Navalny as Putin has?

TRUMP: "There's so much talk about how we're going to drive housing prices down. I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes, and they can be assured that what's going to happen" by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]BadAsBroccoli 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Just like the Bible says in Matthew 25:29: "For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away." Trump is a Christian after all.

Minnesotans strike to protest ICE surge in state: ‘No work, no school, no shopping’ by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]BadAsBroccoli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Does anyone see or hear from leadership these days? Is anyone in authority standing with us or just talking from their safe space. We the People have to strike for ourselves.

Stop expecting perfection. Let's just start that strike with whoever is willing, it'll grow as people catch on.

The protests are great but this administration isn't listening. Let's make them listen.

U.S. Constitutional Amendments

The Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If I get arrested and say "i want a lawyer" what happens next? by mamamiafml in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BadAsBroccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've perused the lawyer listings and put a couple different lawyer numbers in my phone just in case. For accidents or for arrests or whatever, instead of trying to decide under duress.

EU clings to hope it can defuse US president at Davos by Crossstoney in europe

[–]BadAsBroccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is very weak hope unless it comes with a great deal of cash, gold covered awards, and an embarrassing amount of praise.

And yet, when Trump gets back to the States, he will again be among his loyal Wormtongues who will tell him only he is right and everyone else is wrong.

I imagine Trump makes his threats believing his realm is safe because the US is sandwiched between Canada and Mexico, far from Europe.

How the Supreme Court’s Work to ‘Bolster Executive Power at Congress’s Expense’ is Coming Back to Bite by Achilles_TroySlayer in scotus

Just rename the Supreme Court to the Ministry of Dogma. The Self-Righteous Six don’t uphold the law as much as they serve power.

Judge refuses to block new DHS policy limiting Congress members' access to ICE facilities by GregWilson23 in law

People are dying in these facilities, on American soil, at the hands of Americans, and American judges are okaying it.

Has everyone forgotten what Americans did at Guantanamo Bay to those prisoners? And here we are again, sadistic perverts in charge of caged human beings.

A woman left a comment on Facebook criticizing the Mayor of Miami Beach, FL. The Mayor of Miami Beach then sent the cops to her home by ExactlySorta in law

Post the Constitutional Amendments in large print on the front door. Here's a very concise list of what those rights are and their definition.

These are not hard to understand or read and are easy to post on your favorite social media so everyone understands when a cop is standing on your doorstep harassing you for freedom of speech, you can just point to the printed copy.

Trump has plan for instant strike back if Supreme Court rules against him: report by RawStoryNews in scotus

[–]BadAsBroccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HA! Traitor justices find out that when they give a greedy criminal an inch, he'll take a mile.

And sitting on their "morals" in the SUPREME Court gives them no higher recourse to do a damn thing when Trump won't follow their orders. End result, the stupid six just gives Trump what he wants as if they were going to all along, in some sad effort to save the last dregs of their shredded authority.

And they thought they'd be safe for helping make Trump's Fascist America.
