There's no loophole here... republicans managed to take over every branch of government and are willingly destroying the constitution because their views matter more to them than America & democracy do.
It's usually called treason 🤷🏻

We call it treason. They call it, “owning the Libs.”
It's not "their views," it's their lust for money, power, and a White Nationalist country. Make no mistake, their ideology is no different than the Nazis. This isn't a difference of opinion; this is unbridled greed and racism finally given unchecked powet.
From the court's mouth itself:
"It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing to be done.
This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans removed far from our courthouses still hold dear."

We're also clearly compromised by Russia. We thought the cold war was over and we won, but turns out we actually lost in the end, and treason was the cause.
I literally can't wait until we can act on that fact internally.
Throwing the game board against the wall, swallowing your opponent's pieces, and calling the game store owner a slur is not a "loophole." It is the brazen and willful destruction of the social contract that makes the game work.
His admin has started saying if people criticize this, it means they're supporting terrorism...
Which makes them a terrorist too...
And if you criticize that, back to step 1.
trump just said on a hot mic to a room for a laughter he's "sending homegrown's next".
Which means disappearing American citizens to a death camp.
I wonder when people are going to wake the fuck up and realize he's literally put us in a position where it's us or him.
His existence is a threat to everyone else's.
They're a bunch of cowards waiting for someone else to throw the first punch
Never. This country will become Idiocracy before people revolt
The country will become the Qax Occupation from the Xeelee Sequence before people revolt.
Idiocracy would be a vast improvement. Frankly, comments like yours represent being in denial of how bad the situation actually is.
👍
Free Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I am aiding and abetting.
It's not a loophole. It is treason. All who enable treason are also guilty of it. The Liberty tree must be watered if we are to survive. Defend The Constitution. Defend Our Republic.
Yeah I was like wtf you mean ‘loophole’?
Just use this one trick to become hitler 2.0! You won’t believe no. 7? Seriously? This is treason, blatantly unconstitutional, and all the gop are at best complicit
Yeah I was like wtf you mean ‘loophole’?
It’s not really a loop hope if you straight violate the Constitution and get away with it.
Guns aren't allowed on planes. If you sneak one in you'll have a lot of leverage.
Get rich quick with this banking loophole!

A ski mask and a handgun. Put the money in the bag f**kers!
Indeed. The law doesn't protect people. People protect the law.
First, they came for the "terrorists", and I said nothing, because I am not a terrorist.
Then, they came for the "illegal immigrants"..
While this is definitely an escalation, and a dangerous one that should be called out and fought. I want to point out that American citizens have had NO due process and NO rights on Guantanamo Bay ever since Bush Jr started disappearing people and flying them over there under the guise of terrorism accusations.
These are US citizens who were abducted, taken out of country, and not even allowed a lawyer or told what their charges are, beaten and tortured - that the courts decided that was all more or less acceptable for, and further that it was also acceptable to be detained indefinitely.
Trump is a symptom, he is not the disease.
https://pulitzercenter.org/stories/court-rules-guantanamo-detainees-are-not-entitled-due-process
The Bush administration abrogated due process, but we might have been able to move past it as a shameful anomaly in our history perpetrated by one out-of-control political faction. But then instead of prosecuting the offenders, or at least disavowing their actions, the Obama administration doubled down on it! It decided that American citizens could be killed on the basis of an accusation. It cemented the destruction of due process as a bipartisan principle of American government.
The Turd Reich might be speed-running the course, but it's just using the tools that past administrations laid out for it.
Yes, he is a symptom, but he's also morphing the disease at breakneck speed to encompass anyone who isn't an able-bodied white male. I'm not fluent in diseases, so I don't know what I'm talking about but it sure as hell seems more than just a symptom.
Making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part.
The prestige, if you will.
Are you watching closely?
All forces of enforcement of laws being created by one branch or interpreted by another being basically under the third, which incidentally is the one branch with an all powerful executive means the whole checks and balances was flawed from the get go, and assumed way too much good faith leadership, IMO
The current fascist takeover proves it assumed too much good faith. Not an opinion, but a fact! Who knew giving only one branch the power to actually enforce things was a bad idea?
Right? I mean hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but come on...
Now it means technically you'd need some kind of shared enforcement accountability - but how to make any congress-controlled or judicial-controlled enforcement group big enough to compete with the US army when push comes to shove.... 🤷♂️
lol, any one who didn't already figured it out when the supreme court literally said that trump is above the law in 2024 is just not thinking right.
Unfortunately, it's extremely American. We just thought we were better.

ah, the "i have a gun" loophole
