The catch is the courts say what is official and unofficial. A president could then remove Supreme Court members and replace them with ones who agree that such a removal is official and therefore legal.
451·1 day agoIs it wrong to wish that Biden would immediately drone strike the justices that are in the majority for this decision?
That reminds me of a job I did where it had been cold and rainy all day. My manager said they couldn’t use a bunch of photos we took with me in them for the report because I looked too miserable.
10·3 days agoMaybe they are dropping the first and last letters from MAGA.
“America Great!!!”
471·3 days agoGetting a dog has helped me in ways I never expected. I just figured “cute, cuddle, good for brain chemicals”. But they HAVE to be walked at a certain time. They HAVE to be fed at a certain time. Regardless of any of your internal issues, you love them and you have to provide for their needs.
So when you are in the kitchen filling their bowl, you make yourself some toast or grab a banana. When you are taking them for a walk, maybe you go a little farther because they like it and it’s good for you. If you struggle to get up in the morning, they look to you pleading to be taken out to pee and you get yourself up and dressed. They need training and that requires being consistent, so you do it for them. It’s so much easier to do it for them than for yourself.
Replace with who? Nobody has a better shot than him, like it or not.
Having to wait is part of getting asylum. It’s not the end of the world. If they absolutely can’t wait, they can cross away from the official border crossing
YOLO court strikes again
6·4 days agoThis is likely to kill more Americans than the Dobbs decision. Absolutely catastrophic power grab by the conservative court.
He isn’t denying asylum claims. That is a lie. He is pausing the processing of asylum claims so we can catch up. Asylum seekers will still get to apply; they just have to wait. There is only so much manpower and time in the day, so there is a finite amount of applications that can be processed during a week. Makes sense to me.
Holy fuck! As if Citizens United wasn’t bad enough. Our government is fully for sale now.
Saying he is shutting down the border is an outright lie. He put a limit on illegal immigration.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Proclamation_on_Securing_the_Border
Biden ended the Covid era restrictions Trump put on the border that blocked nearly all asylum seekers. He sent thousands more staff to more quickly process asylum requests.
https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2023/05/biden-deploys-thousands-federal-personnel-border/386230/
Biden expanded the path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are married to citizens.
Most countries have a functional mental health system. The US does not. We fail on both accounts.
Biden is trying to expand and streamline asylum. Trump wants to cut it and deport millions on top of that. It’s comparing apples to the literal opposite of apples.
Oh, I absolutely agree Biden’s policy is bad too. Personally I think any more immigration restrictions beyond quarantine for highly communicable diseases is wrong. But saying that Biden is anywhere near as bad as Trump is just factually incorrect. It’s like comparing a paper cut to a bullet wound. Criticize Biden all you want once he is reelected, but until then you are only helping Trump get back into office by acting like they are at all comparable.
Here is the ACLU statement on the lawsuit.
Nowhere does it say it is a “crime against humanity”. Meanwhile the ACLU sued Trump over 400 times.
https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-has-filed-400-legal-actions-against-trump-administration
(Note that the say they have sued literally every president since their inception)
So chill the fuck out. There are only two choices for president and one is objectively the better choice for legal management of the border.
The ACLU is always suing whatever administration is in power. It’s their job.
18·10 days agoI remember one guy telling his story that he was raped by a pregnant woman. He didn’t want to hurt the baby so he couldn’t force her to stop.
- Freeing Mexican citizens locked in cages at the border, but has in fact increased the numbers according to the ACLU, and now limiting the numbers of who can come in like fascist Trump wanted
Numbers have increased because more people are crossing the border. Biden has initiated several programs to streamline the asylum process and reduce the time people are detained. For example even though unaccompanied minors crossing the border have doubled since the end of Trump’s term, the number of pending asylum cases for minors has decreased.
- The COVID pandemic is still ongoing, we’re just ignoring it while I’ve had friends die from it after it was “over” according to the CDC. Also removing the 14 day expected leave for it to improve
companies fucking over sick and healthy workers alikethe economy
If you thought Covid was ever going away, that’s your mistake. Nothing to do with Biden. Get your vaccine and boosters on schedule and you will be fine.
- Roe v Wade being reinstated, for the party that “cares about women’s rights”.
Congress passes laws, not the president. The Supreme Court wouldn’t let and executive order last a day. Biden did what he could by allowing Mifepristone to be dispensed by pharmacies and sent through the mail.
-
- Minimum Wage increases (Yes Congress is in charge of the purse, but can he say “please fucking do it so everyone has better income?”)
He has said that and he did what he could by raising the minimum wage for federal workers.
- Ran on trying to stop cops from shooting innocent civilians, but in his first State of the Union said “We don’t need to defund the police, we need to fund the police!” to bipartisan roaring applause. I know he has a fucking cop as a VP, but god damn.
“Defund the police” as a slogan is just ammo for Republicans. He is right to move away from it. Biden tried to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing act but the Republicans blocked it. He has done a lot more. See below
- And he’s not doing anything to stop Project 2025 from getting into place if Trump wins.
He’s running against Trump. That’s how he is stopping Project 2025. Stop fucking trying to make that fail by repeating lies and propaganda
- Could maybe consider giving new arms to Ukraine and stop funding explicit genocide in Palestine.
You said before that you know Congress has the power of the purse. He cannot do the things you want without Congress voting for it.
- Didn’t help the unions during the rail strikes give into the demands for better worker safety and benefits, blocking it like how Reagan blocked the FAA from striking for safety and benefits
You’re ignoring what Biden did after. He kept pushing for what the union wanted and in the end they got their sick leave. The IBEW that led Biden

- Still allows Trump-era expansions of spying agencies, that was made public under “constitutional lawyer and defender” Obama, and instated under Dubya.
It sucks but that is going to happen no matter who is president. At least Biden took action to protect us from foreign spying.
They already did more or less. Friday they blew up the Chevron decision which means the court can override rules by regulatory agencies whenever they want.
