  • I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, this is the real reason.

    In the wake of 9/11, Congress issued a broad, many would say overly broad, Authorization for the Use of Military Force that basically granted the Office of the President open-ended permission for any conceivable martial escapade he might want in the Middle East. Every President of the 21st century has used this as the legal justification for meting destruction onto that part of the world: for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bombings in Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Pakistan, as well as our little-publicized offensive in Northeast Africa.

    Due to this, what Trump did is legal. Unfortunately it seems people just want to shoot the messenger now if they say something they disagree with, even if they’re correct.

    I 100% support removing Trump from power through impeachment and absolutely think he’s a threat to democracy, but throwing bullshit articles of impeachment at him over and over just galvanizes his base when he continually shrugs them off.








  • From Fox News, because it’s patently bullshit. Garcia was never proven to be a gang member and the only connection was coerced testimony from a confidential informant who was facing deportation if they didn’t act as an informant, who gave the information to a detective who has since been fired from his position for multiple abuses of power and for lying under oath. Garcia was arrested for being brown outside of a home depot, not for any actual crime.

    Every single attempt that has been made to force the US DOJ to produce proof of his gang membership has been denied, because it’s all a lie. FugginJerk just drank the kool-aid while telling other people not to drink the kool-aid.

    But even that is beside the point – even if it wasn’t bullshit, he’s still owed due process as part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
