U.S. officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obligated to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a Supreme Court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the United States.
Attorneys for the administration of President Donald Trump said the high court’s order to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia meant they should “remove any domestic obstacles that would otherwise impede the alien’s ability to return here,” not help extract him from El Salvador.
This is the beginning of the end of the Republic.
that was 2016. and it’s been awhile in the making.
just a few of the highlights: 60s-70s goldwater/nixon and the southern strategy… the 80s reaganomics, deregulation, abolishment of fairness doctrine… the 90s newt & co, the rise of far-right media… 2000 scotus stopping the count and picking the ‘winner’… 2010 citizens united.
I can’t agree with you on the fairness doctrine specifically; first it only applied to over-the-air broadcasting, (so ABC, NBC, etc.) but not cable or the Internet. Secondly it was largely interpreted by these networks as forcing fringe views into the main stream. So they would have a faith healer on at the same time as a doctor, or a creationist on at the same time as a paleontologist. There are those who feel that this led directly to our current “my faith is as important as your reason” problem.
The beginning was like two months ago; we’re now about 40% of the way in.
Nah man, it’s well past the beginning.
Rap it up its over already
Wrap?
No, he meant rap. It’s the best way to communicate his feelings over the state of the country.
It ended a while ago. We’re just witnessing the purification.
