And old men need to be assaulted and have their skulls cracked by the police.

And it is always funny when the cops put out some reporters eye.

Well, given that Stormy was a porn star and the typical attributes of male porn stars, it occurs to me that Stormy's idea of average might be a tad skewed.

Stormy was wrong. Trump is definitely the biggest dick in the world. The world has never seen a bigger dick than Trump. People are saying, Sir, you're the biggest dick in history and that's the truth.

:D:thumbsup:

G.P. Bush Republican appointed judge in TX rules that the DACA program is illegal because Obama overstepped his authority and that it's Congress' power to create such laws. This stops any further applications from being accepted but keeps those already protected under DACA safe.

Republican, Texas....I'm shocked!

Never expected anyone to defend Trumps schlong here. Gonna have to take a screenshot and frame this one.

*headdesk*

8 U.S. Code § 1255

Other variations exist with minor differences in variables.

Also in C.F.R. 8, 1245.11

Again, this one is specifically about informants, but I didn't want to crawl through 80 pages of sequences that all look almost identical to find the numerous examples that apply.

You get the idea.

The "DACA Program" amounts to a request by the president (via Executive Memorandum, not Executive Order, IIRC) to use that discretion as broadly as possible for unaccompanied minors.

Asylum claims must be processed and reviewed. While that process occurs, a person is considered temporarily admitted.

This is why they narrowed the places down where asylum could be claimed and wouldn't confirm any administrative judges to those posts. This is why they were ripping children from parents' arms and making them sign (not asylum request) documents in a language they couldn't read or they'd never see their kids again. They got them to claim some other kind of procedure to prevent the A.G. discretion from being an option.

Because the (properly passed by Congress) law is clear this is totally legal.

Why doesn't this judge know these laws exist?

I fully expect this ruling to be appealed and tossed.

If your theory of the limits of Presidential Power depends on the Party of the President, it's not much of a theory.

A look into how the overton window has shifted so far to the right in this country that seemingly respectable people are openly musing about instating a fascist dictator.

The example given here is a podcast from the previously "mainstream conservative" Claremont Institute discussing how a right wing dictator should openly campaign on the promise to use national emergency powers to mobilize the military domestically and seize power.

Covid is only real if it can be used to justify a policy of ethnic intimidation.

Trying to figure out how Texas cops are supposed to figure out passing vehicles contain migrants in a way that isn't plainly based on racial profiling.

Paint swatches?

Ala Family Guy.

Considering the immigrants have a far lower incidence of COVID than Texans, perhaps it should be they who are worried about catching it from the cops who pull them over.

Also, yeah, the paint swatches are going to catch a LOT of legal native American residents. This will be fun to see the outcome when half of Texas fetches up being deported to Mexico. ;)

This is just more crap from the GOP Texans who want to shift blame for the rise in Covid cases from the unvaccinated to immigrants. You know, the ones who are bringing all the Trump claimed crime and diseases .

Trump supporters going door to door in Pennsylvania demanding to know which candidate voters backed

Sounds like a great way to catch a beating or get shot. These fascists are going to mess with the wrong person eventually if they keep this up.

They would probably welcome this. Sacrifice one of their own to get a "Dems beat and shoot patriots!" headline.

I welcome it too. It's nice there's something that we can all agree on in these increasingly troubled times.

"Dems beat and shoot patriots" would place Democrats in danger of sounding cool, which is distressing to me.

I think a better tactic is the "Grandma Trap". Basically, invite them in for a cup of coffer, some cookies and a nice looooooooooong chat. A couple of hours or more, perhaps most of the day. Then they get to visit maybe one or two places in a day, not even a whole street in a week.

They will give up after two days. ;)

Fetterman was right when he called these guys the dimmer bulbs.

How's Pennsylvania when it comes to shooting trespassers on sight?

International law of SS&S applies in all rural areas.

Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up

Everything old is new again.
Back when the surge in pesticide-resistant bedbugs started happening in the early 2000s, I saw people blaming it on "filthy illegal immigrants" bringing them into the country.

I disagree with the highlighted statement. It's not the future of the GOP. It's the present.

I think that's a reference to the fact this is college Republicans. It's the present, but young conservatives seem to be all-aboard for white nationalism.

Wonder when they are going to expel all the brown Latino conservatives who voted for Trump. And then go for all those of the Arabic and Hebrew persuasion...children of immigrants who look a lot like Miller, in fact.

So how is that different from so many older conservatives now?

It's different because these ghouls will still be around in 30 years.

It doesn't make them different, just younger. They've always been around.

Fascists are still holding street rallies on the West Coast. Here's a picture of an armed fascist pointing a rifle at an unarmed member of the press (Justin Yau, Willamette Weekly) while on the phone requesting aid from police. Despite the man fleeing to a local police station, he was not placed under arrest. Curious that fascists can terrorize the streets of Portland immediately outside a federal building without police interference, when last summer protecting a federal building was the justification given for a wide variety of aggressive riot police tactics.

One of the fascists attending this violent rally is currently awaiting trial for participating in the Jan6 attack.

Police continue to take a hands-off approach to right wing political violence. Nothing has changed.

ETA: Fascists fight openly with antifascists in the street without any interference from nearby police. They also randomly terrorize uninvolved bystanders. For example, a fascist painted a rifle at then shot a man in the face with a pepperball while he was on the phone with his mother, speaking in Farsi, concerning his car which was stolen while parked on the street.

Fascists live streamed themselves hurling homophobic slurs before mob beating a bystander.

Fascists attaching themselves to "mainstream" conservative events as a pretext for violent street rallies.

Once again, Portland Police only act against overt law breaking by fascists when shamed by the public after the fact.

The man seen pointing a realistic looking airsoft AR-15 rifle at several people in the streets and being allowed to walk free by the police has since been charged with 3 counts of menacing and 1 count of disorderly conduct, an extremely generous interpretation of the criminal conduct. The replica weapon and his other equipment were seized at this arrest, because none of this was taken from him by any of the many cops at the scene.

PPB must have been very embarrassed that they were forced to arrest one of their fascist allies. I hope they understand it wasn't personal /s.

This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If you wait till after the rally and get him when he's alone, then people complain that something wasn't done immediately but had they rushed in and it had turned into a riot, they'd have been accused of provoking the crowd and starting a riot.

Well, it is also a lack of consistency issue.

White conservatives can literally shoot multiple people, walk past police to leave, and be arrested later after public outrage is expressed.

A black person stepping off the curb for 5 seconds during an otherwise peaceful march means a whole team of officers come forward, blast pepper spray into the crowd at point blank range and seize the clearly dangerous individual immediately.

Well, it'd be nice to believe that it's because they learned not to do that after last year, but... yeah... The blatant hypocrisy on that one is well and truly out for all to see.

He surrendered himself to the cops at the time, who let him go. Apparently brandishing a replica firearm was not something that thought merited intervention.

Why would they intervene? It's not like he's a black guy in a toy store or a black kid in a park.

Seems to be plans by out of town fascists to hold another big rally in Portland August 22nd. It's the one year anniversary of the huge fascist rally that was so violent and chaotic that PPB was finally forced to act, arresting Alan Swinney for a variety of backlogged violent felonies.

No reason to believe this will happen any differently. Out of town agitators are engaging in yet another criminal conspiracy to hold a violent riot in the city and Portland Police will see no problem with this as it unfolds in the street. If antifascists don't show up, these fascists will likely take to the streets to target anyone they deem an enemy.

LA, Oregon, Salem, and Portland seem the most likely venues for these fascist rallies, given the proven track record of enabling local cops in this cities.

Battle them differently. Get creative!

Start some sort of charity drive where donations are based on how far they march, or how many of them avoid arrest, etc.

Some Germans show you how.
