> when the administration starts to do blatantly illegal stuff some people will just not accept that

What is this "blatantly illegal stuff" ?



Like illegally using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport people when the act literally states it's a wartime authority (no new wars). like illegally deporting Abrego Garcia to the one country that he wasn't allowed to be deported to.


Thanks - the Supreme Court clarified this in their ruling. But, the Supreme Court has also ruled that the US administration can deport individuals to third countries, while legal challenges to the practice are pending.

I see this as a perfect example of the US Supreme Court clarifying the scope and applicability of law - just like they rejected Biden's student loan forgiveness under the HEROES act and Biden found a workaround instead.


I hate comments like this, so I hate making them myself as well, but are you trolling?

If so, forgive me for not responding.

If you are not trolling, and well intentioned: why don't you go and read some of that main-stream-news that everybody loves to piss on these days and use that to get to at least a moderately up-to-date state of mind before engaging in threads like these. It would save a lot of time.

If you are of the mindset that you are in fact informed and that Trump's administration has not yet performed any acts that are blatantly illegal then you're entirely on your own, or at least, I would hope you are (unfortunately, you probably would not be).


Cults need isolation from former environments and values, thats a key element in any cult initialization. Resulting in internalized ignorance so strong, not even a speaking burning bush could convince them otherwise, let alone main stream media.


No, I am not trolling. Mainstream news hyper-exaggerates and when one studies the matter, one realizes that few laws if any are broken. Several court battles are waged until the Supreme Court makes judgements on the scope and applicability of the law. Once that is done, the administration follows the ruling or chooses a workaround law.

AFAIK, the Trump Administration - as controversial as it may be - has not broken any Supreme Court rulings. Legal workarounds are not unique to this administration - such were done by the previous Biden administration as well. Please note the Supreme Court struck down President Biden’s broad student loan forgiveness plan, ruling it exceeded the administration’s authority. Nevertheless, a workaround was found by using the Higher Education Act instead.
