WAKE UP EVERYONE IT'S THE 1920'S AGAIN

Hardly a history expert but I seem to recall the 1920s ending very well.

Shocker incoming; 1 of the men deported to El Salvador in this first batch turned out to be innocent. They mistook a "I Love You" in sign language from a picture & a tattoo of a soccer ball with a crown & "Dios"/God written under it as proof of gang affiliation. He entered the US legally.
According to court documents filed Wednesday, ICE officials had flagged a social media photo of Reyes Barrios making a gesture they believed was a gang symbol. However, his attorney, Linette Tobin, noted the gesture translates to "I love you," in sign language, and also closely resembles the gesture for "rock n' roll."

DHS also cited his tattoo as evidence of gang membership. Reyes Barrios' tattoo is of a soccer ball with a crown, rosary and the word "Dios" (Spanish for God). A signed declaration from the tattoo artist states Reyes Barrios chose the image for its resemblance to the Real Madrid soccer team logo.

ICE Deported Professional Soccer Player After 'I Love You' Sign Language Symbol Was Interpreted as Gang Sign: Affidavit

An asylum seeker was deported to El Salvador under the Aliens Enemy Act after ICE accused him of gang membership based on a tattoo and hand gesture.

That's the bar for this administration. Remove all the references to black people. Deport latin people. Worry about any corrections later and claim they were "mistakes" or "AI" afterwards, even though it's not suspicious at all why the "mistakes" conveniently happen to non-white instances.

China spends a lot on education. This century was always likely to be theirs but the USA is just gifting it to them.
Click to expand...
Sad to say, but China is looking way forward into the future....

and dumpty trump aspire to be how Russia, North Korea and China were when they started out to become who they are today... trump is learning from them during his first term, and now taking their old blue prints, looking into the past...
America is going backward....

aint gonna end well...

so start making up your own education... nothing makes sense anymore...

Damn, imagine Terry was our president. He's actually like the most likeable person on TV/movies and seems so humble IRL. Completely opposite of the **** we have now.
Click to expand...
In this environment, I don't think he could be president. I think the gains we made in 2008 on being ready to elect a non-white man as POTUS have eroded away due to Republican backwardness.

Yeah the problem is they aren't going to Venezuela, they are going to El Salvador for....who knows how long. Honestly, does anyone know? They'll probably get lost in the system there. Again with no evidence, no trials, no convictions, nothing - there very well could be innocent people being sent to one of the most notorious jails on the planet with zero recourse. This is some serious ****.

Well, at least one of the humans deported to rot in El Salvador has no criminal record in the US nor Venezuela. DHS pinky promises that he was definitely a terrorist though. He has tattoos!

This is how rude, disrespectful & petty the Trump administration and its lackeys are:

This library was a place where Iranians and other groups banned from the US during Trump's first term met stateside family that didn't have permanent residency (because they couldn't leave the country). I'm sure this is in preparation for the new travel ban.

Did anyone see any new guidelines for travel from the UK to the United States? My friend wants to visit from the UK but she is very nervous that she might get detained because she has posted on social media she's anti-Trump (plus she's mixed race). I have heard and seen nothing stating that anything has changed stateside other than the new administration simping for Trump, but it wouldn't shock me if they are intentionally obfuscating this information to trap people who arrive into the country.

Trump's promise to void Biden's presidential pardons appears to have the same worth as the majority of his other promises.

Can Trump Void Biden’s Presidential Pardons?

President Donald Trump announced Monday he wanted to void the presidential pardons issued by Biden

I don't think that would be legal under any situation, because it would then mean Trump would be declaring Biden a criminal and he should have presidential immunity thanks to Trump. The Supreme Court would definitely not hear this.

I think he's accusing the previous administration of incompetence rather than criminal intent.

At any rate, if he were to get away with this then in the slim possibility that you ever have another Democrat in the White House, s/he/they could take advantage of this presidential precedent and send the J6 rioters back to jail or deport them to El Salvador or something.

Only because I'm genuinely curious - does this bother you @Yard_Sale ? This isn't meant to be some kind of gotcha, I'm asking in good faith here.

Trump rescinds order targeting law firm after it makes $40m promise

This is not a public entity, but this administration has forced them to give them free work and change the way they do business else lose access to information critical to the company's business. This doesn't seem to be within the spirit of free speech - it's coercion, it's real estate developer tactics. You can argue that it's not illegal, but I don't think that's good enough when it's directed by the entity that is supposedly responsible for guaranteeing free speech.

I love that Trump isn't commenting on this is any way. Trump attacked the law firm, stating that the law firm was undermining US judicial systems, using that as his point for cancelling contracts and security clearance.

Apparently donating $40mill worth of pro-bono work and removing DEI hiring policies remedies all of this.

A very, very clear example of Trump's BS excuses to use his office to punish people that don't tow the line.

It will never not be hysterical to me that worthless Trumpers (but I repeat myself) are such pathetic soy beta cucks that getting them to engage is a lot like coaxing wild rabbits out from under a garden shed.

I think it might be competing with the Rouble. I mean the USA is conceding the Cold War and the Revolutionary War at the same time...

And they want to erase the Civil War. We are doing so much winning we want to change our prior wins to losses!

Is this the instance where he claims Biden didn't know what he was signing & he also used auto-pen, so the pardons are invalid?


B/c Donny boy definitely uses auto-pen & he's definitely not on camera being handed an executive order going, "Oh, this is a big one. What's this?" and then immediately signs it.

Thank you. This is around equal with "peak my interest" in mildly irritating spelling errors for me. I don't care about apostrophes or commas as much, just idioms that make sense.

Apparently a music band was denied because a few members were posting things that the current regional King disapproves.

Let's see how this plays out for next year's World Cup. I have a feeling that there will be all kinds of problems with people wanting to visit the US to support their teams.
