    Why foreign?

    Can’t even Make American Gulags Appear let alone a manufacturing infrastructure for you sexist, racist, anti-science, anti-health, selfish, fascist, no-exaggeration dumbest people on earth considering how you chose this.

      Foreign gulags give the shitheads plausible deniability when it comes to situations like the mistaken deportation of a legal resident. So, they can rendition you to El Salvadore, and there’s jack and shit you can do about it.

        Yeah. I’m waiting to see how they explain that they can’t bring people back on court orders because they’re dead. Except of course the Supreme Court stepped in.

          Oh no, they’ve already said that he’s effectively in foreign custody and any transfers would have to go through diplomatic channels IIRC.

      Because in the US you have some recourse to the courts. In a foreign one, the current Supreme Court seems to think you don’t.

        That was the entire point of Guantanamo, to keep people outside the legal system.

        This precedent isn’t current. It goes back to Gitmo and likely a bit before that. We just had twenty-five years of liberals kinda shrugging and insisting these kinds of horrifying totalitarian impulses are reserved for brown people and particularly poor whites, not anyone who matters.

      Dude… This rabid anti American shit is getting old.

      You’re on a social platform with like-minded people who are all potential targets for this administration’s horse shit. Few, if -any- of -us- voted for this. We are Americans, but we are also, very likely, -your- allies.

      If you just want to be mad and demonstrate how in-control of your emotions you are, go on. But what’s happening has global ramifications. Maybe don’t dunk on those who are fighting it from the inside.

        Until you actually start cleaning house, you are not our allies. Comments like yours, and other empty expressions of support, are as meaningful as “thoughts and prayers.”

        Get your shit in order rather than whining about how unpopular your country is.

          Until we start? We have. It’s not something that happens overnight. You’re saying you’re not my ally until I’m winning, and that’s not the high ground you think it is.

          And as far as whining… Look at my post history before you call me a whiner. I have little to no disillusions about my country.

          This edgelord internet routine plays right into the authoritarian’s hands. Build bridges, not walls.
