    We’re in fascism times.

    Trump can legally kill people. Literally. He can point a gun in 5th Avenue and shoot someone and New York Court, SCOTUS, and his base, will all let him.

    We cannot make arguments as if laws apply to this man because they simply don’t.

    So when he says words like “expel”, we need to understand that he will try everything in his power, including things that are illegal to normal people like you and me, to accomplish his will.

      Trump can legally kill people.

      I think that’s hyperbole, but yeah, that SCOTUS ruling was and still is pretty horrifying.
