Summary
The MAGA cinematic universe has gone into full meltdown after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest deportation push.
The ruling halted deportations that rely on the Alien Enemies Act—in a stunning 7-2 decision. “The Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America’s ruination,” wrote DHS liaison Paul Ingrassia.
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Tom Fitton suggested Trump suspend habeas corpus to “reverse the Biden invasion.” “Who will compensate the American people for the lasting damage?” Rep. Mary Miller asked.
“Suspend habeas corpus” is making me pretty upset
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Did I stutter, bitch?
This GIF is great!
Yes I am sure the criminal who already ignores courts amd suffers no tangible consequences for it will obey a ruling he does not like.
The DOJ could technically put an arrest warrant on his subordinates that are not complying with an order.
Don’t worry, they’ll emember they don’t have to listen to anyone but the King next week.
I’m sure they would be upset at this if they could read.
They can all drop dead for all I care. I’d celebrate.
“We live in a society where foreign alien terrorists have unlimited free legal representation,” Stephen Miller posted.
Yes, that’s exactly the point.
We live in a society where criminals have the right to a free public defender 😱
A public defender who’s overworked and probably not even that good at his job. You must have a weak case to be concerned about a free lawyer.
Considering how many people they arrest and claim to be terrorists that’s a good thing.
Break a window on a Tesla? Terrorist!
MAGA supporter shooting at a school: tHouGhtsS aNd PrAyErS.
Dem boycotted a Tesla: MAGA says, “DOMESTIC TERRORISM!”
Speak Spanish, believe it or not, also terrorist.
Tattoo, also terrorist.
Go to University and study anything but STEM or Economics or not be a white christian male? Straight to gitmo.
I mean, how do you prosecute someone who has no legal representation?
that requires due process, and who needs that when you got ICE picking people up off the streets at random, slapping temporary tattoos on them, to justify throwing them in planes to be sent to torture prisons.
This is so funny too because I grew up in a time where the police would tell you to not lock your car door if someone was breaking your windows out regularly. No one ever got prosecuted for that shit.
I commented on the wrong post my bad this was to op 😭
Stephen Miller is a whiny little bitch. Literally watch any interview, and tell me I’m wrong. 😂 What a cruel and stupid little man.
I believe I saw someone say on Tumblr that if you enjoy having rights then you should advocate the strongest for criminals enjoying rights as well, because otherwise, the Government can always just take your rights away by labelling you a criminal.
Or, as has been trendy lately, a Salvadoran gang member.
Yes, Thats what I’ve been saying.
You only have as many rights as an accused criminal does.
and if we can remove due process from someone who is accused of being a criminal, and sent them to a central american torture prison with no judge, jury, hearing, or anything… Then anyone can be sent to a central american torture prison, because all it will take is a baseless accusation to strip you of all your supposedly inalienable rights.
That’s just what a Salvadoran gang member would say.
As an outsider looking in… aren’t they always in full meltdown mode?
Yeah, but right now it’s about SCOTUS. Sometimes it’s other stuff.
Including but not limited to restrictions on asbestos.

“SCOTUS didn’t SCOTUS like they’re supposed to!”
– magaSCOTUS doesn’t know that the Cab’net and me
Circumvent the Constitution when we want to
They tell them they’ll comply, but they really don’t
Still they’re on their knees, and SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
SCOTUS doesn’t know!
So don’t tell SCOTUS!
It’s a deliberate strategy.
The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.
For most people, having the entire legal system as your opponent might give you pause, and an “are we the bad guys?” moment. Not so for Trump cultists.
I don’t think the judicial system has been very judicious since it’s become so politicized. With so many right leaning justices and straight up corruption in the courts I don’t respect their opinions anymore.
Perhaps it would be different for someone right leaning, but it’s my understanding that average people on the right distrust most government by default. The Republican mind and the libertarian mind are often similar.
All that to say I don’t think this is a valid trigger for introspection, and in fact I don’t think there is a single thing besides brown jesus christ himself coming down and rapturing their opposition that would cause even a second of pause.
We are the bad guys and have been for a long long time.
We all agree that the system is corrupt and ineffective. Republicans subvert that truth in order to undermine the law and cut government programs. In other words, while Dems are complaining about overreach of presidential power, Reps take that same energy towards SCOTUS.
I myself am on the far left so this is not an endorsement, but rather an observation on their clever tactics.

From the US Constitution:
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Trump, Miller, and the rest of he administration loathe the Constitution and the very foundations of the American ideal.
They seek to destroy all of it and replace it with a far right oligarchical dictatorship. They want an unchecked executive where the primary qualification of its officers is loyalty to the leader. Where due process is merely a suggestion and doesn’t apply to whomever they decide. Where money spent on research, food safety, education, government oversight, and public welfare is corruption and fraud, but money spent on private enterprise that enriches the executive officers is not. And, unfortunately, they’ve seen more success in that than I would have thought possible, particularly in such a brief time.
The president doesn’t decide the law. His job is to follow it.
Maybe somebody should tell him that.
It is now up to the man on the street to show him that.
So when are republicans changing the plaque on the Statue of Liberty to say
“Get out you tired, you poor,
You huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to El Salvador,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
because the current one is way to woke and liberal?
the statue of liberty is a " hidden giant assassin robot from france"-Rick

As an American citizen, I’ve honestly never understood exactly why the piece of shit wasn’t given the only punishment (that I know of, anyway) befitting a traitor a long way back… I mean, my personal feelings on the matter are that if you - in any capacity, really, though particularly that of someone in a leadership position- attempt to incite, encourage, or otherwise amplify an insurrectionist mob, then that makes YOU an INSURRECTIONIST. Full stop.
Which also makes you guilty of treason. (Full stop, again.)
So… Why, again, was this not dealt with as it should’ve been? Whaf a fucking joke
Even if you were to believe that he weren’t technically guilty of treason when he incited an insurrection, it was legally decided by a judge that he had, in fact, engaged in insurrection against the US. Section 3 of the 14th amendment explicitly states that he shouldn’t have been eligible to run for office. Him being president at all is in violation of the Constitution.
Even then, Trump isn’t the root problem.
I agree with everything you’ve said (for whatever that’s worth, being from outside the US) - but the primary issue is the 30%+ of folk who are voting for this arsehole, along with the 30%+ of folk who didn’t care enough to vote against it.
Following that logic, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Trump, Hitler, Musk, Orban, Putin or whatever going for the post - it doesn’t even matter whether they’re constitutionally permitted to stand for office, if there’s an overwhelming number of folk who don’t give a fuck and vote that way anyway, then there’s your bigger problem.
Well, apparently insurrections are legal in the US 🤷
you started a great question, but then you got distracted.
i think that the BIG part that’s missing from the american eqution is actual fucking americans. y’all have been sat in your couches for so long that you don’t think you can actually stand for anything any more.
edit - you know, it’s a pretty small world here. you can reply instead of just downvoting me.
Please lecture us about American history some more.
Letting rich white people get away with treason is quite literally a tradition here.
I’m sorry, what? What do you mean I ‘got distracted’? My comment wasn’t long enough to ‘get distracted’ in, for one lol… All jokes aside, I’m gonna be honest, I’ve re-read it a couple of times now and I’m still not seeing what you could be talking about… I’d say it reads pretty singularly of focus, more than anything, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
you should stage an insurrection.
