    A judge delayed the hearing to later next month and agreed with her attorney, Emily Howe, to specify the woman does not have to appear in person — a relief as they worried immigration officers would be waiting at the courthouse to take her away.

    Why aren’t more judges doing this?

    This is basically a rogue government.

    It’s not like the Democrats didn’t warn people, it’s just that so many didn’t want to listen.

      This is fascism. Stop using fancy words. Call it what it is. The United States is in a fascist take over. They’re running concentration camps, arming a private military they can let loose wherever they want, ignoring laws and shooting citizens in the streets. It is a fascist takeover and Americans are sitting around tweeting about and just hoping they get an election to vote in. Spoiler: they don’t. Not without a fight.

      I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

      America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

      Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

        Well, I guess “we” voted for this, but I sure as fuck did not. Whole lot of normie types and reactionary centrists acted like we were a bunch of Cassandras when we told them about Project 2025.

        I had conversations IRL where these types said things like “yeah, I heard about that. but isn’t Project 2025 just a conspiracy theory from the Democrats”?

        Sigh. Also, I know several people that are very much the types that are going to be the most at-risk after immigrants, if not already, and they chose not to vote, vote third party, or at least in one case, for the pedophile-in-chief because “the Democrats are no better on my pet issue”. JFC.

        A whole lot of people thought they knew better and so did some nine-dimensional chess to maneuver themselves right into voting third party or sitting out or whatever, too.
