It has been a bad three days for the American Ideal as the defenders of all the Republic holds dear are being upended by the power corrupting leaders of all branches of the federal government who are putting their minority White Nationalist Christian Conservative Nationalism Tribe over everyone else in the nation.
Over the weekend, Felon in Chief-Twice Impeached-Twice David Duke Endorsed-Serial Liar-Six Time Bankrupted Businessperson-Adjudicated Sex Offender-January 6 Domestic Terrorist Enabler American Duce Wannabe Donald Trump issued this Apocalypse Now inspired post following towards the leadership of Illinois and Chicago following his likely illegal order to rename the Department of Defense the War Department.
Just a reminder that the person never wore the uniform of any branch of the American Military in his life.
But all self respecting Fascists like Mussolini, Hitler, and Franco liked to appear in uniforms so Trump is following their example in fiction.
Another reminder is if any of Trump’s predecessors had done this, people would be talking removal under the Twenty Fifth Amendment.
Earlier today, Trump’s secret Gestapo police ICE started operations in Chicago under the guise of going after violent criminals.
How about going after the January 6 domestic terrorists that you pardoned?
They are being arrested left and right since you let them go. They are an actual crime wave.
Reacting before Trumps mentally unstable post, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said:
“Look out for your communities and your neighbors. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening in your neighborhoods and your streets and share them with the news media. Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America.”
In another excerpt, he remarked:
“I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal. I refuse to concede that the abject cruelty that we’re seeing play out with the execution of Trump and Stephen Miller’s policies are okay or justified. I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital Constitutional rights in the fake guise of fighting crime…Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next.”
After Trump deployed his ICE-Gestapo Secret Police, Pritzker posted:
“Once again, this isn’t about fighting crime. That requires support and coordination — yet we’ve experienced nothing like that over the past several weeks. Instead of taking steps to work with us on public safety, the Trump Administration’s focused on scaring Illinoisians.”
Commenting on the Trump post, political consultant Dr. Rachel Bitecofer commented to Blog for Arizona:
“We find ourselves, six months into a regime that promised to unleash fire and fury onto everyone not in their cult so the fact that Trump is now trying to position National Guard troops in American cities should not surprise anyone. We know they aren’t there to deal with crime. Crime has been a problem in Chicago since the buildings were erected. So instead of focusing on the fact the deployment is illegal and unnecessary I think we need to start asking why he wants control of large cities in Blue states.”
Third Way Senior Communications Director Kate Kate deGruyter also commented to Blog for Arizona:
“Trump’s threat to turn the American military on an American city is grotesque. A deportation machine where unidentified masked teams indiscriminately detain US citizens and snatch students and workers who pose no threat to our community is sowing terror and chaos. The American people want order and fairness, but they are appalled at these actions designed to instill fear and a White House that relishes in the cruelty. We are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants, and we can be neither unless we are both.”
Not to be outdone by Trump, the Conservative Majority on the Supreme Court who said racial considerations for college admissions and congressional districting was Un Constitutional appear to be okay with that justification on taking Los Angeles residents off the street, giving the maniac they gave immunity to temporary carte blanche to arrest people based on what they look like, including American Citizens who might look like illegal immigrants.
In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote:
“We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.”
“Countless people in the Los Angeles area have been grabbed, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed simply because of their looks, their accents, and the fact they make a living by doing manual labor. Today, the Court needlessly subjects countless more to these exact same indignities.”
Saying the Fourth Amendment applies here, Sotomayor wrote that the Conservative Majority’s contention, articulated in a concurring opinion by Brett Kavanaugh that the innocent “will be free to go after the brief encounter,” is incorrect because:
“The Government, and now the concurrence, has all but declared that all Latinos, U.S. citizens or not, who work low wage jobs are fair game to be seized at any time, taken away from work, and held until they provide proof of their legal status to the agents’ satisfaction.”
Guess everyone that looks Latino, including all people of Mediterranean descent, should be holding copies of their birth certificate or passports on them.
She also went after the Conservative’s increasing habit of using the Shadow Docket to issue rulings without explanation, writing:
“In the last eight months, this Court’s appetite to circumvent the ordinary appellate process and weigh in on important issues has grown exponentially. Its interest in explaining itself, unfortunately, has not.”
Reacting to the Supreme Court ruling, Arizona Representative Yassamin Ansari released the below video, stating:
“Hey guys, I have some really, really bad news to share. The Supreme Court today just decided to give ICE the power to treat millions of Americans as second class citizens. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court voted to lift a federal judge’s ban on ICE, making immigration stops in Los Angeles based on appearance, language, job, or where someone works. That means that ICE agents can now use factors like speaking Spanish, having an accent, working a low-wage job, or just looking Latino as factors in deciding who to stop. That’s racial profiling. Obviously, it forces U.S citizens, particularly people of color, or people who speak another language to carry proof of citizenship just to go about their daily lives. This isn’t hyperbole. This is what’s happening in the United States of America. In Trump’s America. This policy is going to breathe new life into Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s racist mass deportation policy that they have unleashed on this country. It’s deeplyAnti-American, and of course, the Supreme Court in this country is appointed by Donald Trump for the most part, and they’ve aligned with his administration’s version of what should happen. I want to be very clear. I will continue to stand with immigrant communities, whether in Los Angeles in Phoenix or across the United States. These people will do whatever it takes to fully enact, an Authoritarian regime in this country, and go after immigrants from all backgrounds, all nationalities, and they don’t care what your immigration status is. So, please remember that my office is a resource to you. We serve Phoenix, Glendale, and Guadalupe. We are a safe place for you to come for support, and we will continue to be loud and fearless In standing up to the Trump regime.”
Arizona Democratic Leadership in the State Legislature also released a stinging rebuke of the Supreme Court’s actions today.
Democratic Senate Leader Priya Sundareshan wrote:
“Arizona knows all too well how racial profiling can harm a community. After SB1070, we saw our state’s communities of color being targeted because of their skin color or the language they spoke; we saw victims reluctant to call the police or help with investigations due to fear of detainment and deportation; we saw children miss out on public benefits they were entitled to because their parents were scared of having them taken away; and we saw families cruelly separated.
We also know that those policies did not work then, and they won’t work now. Unfortunately, by allowing ICE to stop people solely on their race, language, or job, the Supreme Court is now putting our country through those same dark days that Arizona experienced.
Today’s decision by our highest court is reprehensible and will no doubt lead to serious constitutional violations while the case is pending full resolution. The American people deserve better — they deserve policies that help them achieve the American Dream and prosperity and we cannot accomplish that when our courts uphold an executive that seems bent on criminalizing people of color.”
House Democratic Leader Oscar De Los Santos stated:
“The United States Supreme Court just put a target on the back of anyone who looks Latino, or foreign, anyone who speaks another language, or even just has an accent, and anyone who works in a low-wage job. With no other ‘probable cause’ but the color of your skin or how you talk, your government can stop, detain and arrest you. That’s what racial profiling is, and why this is such a dangerous moment for our nation and what’s left of our Constitution. The Supreme Court once stood as a beacon of justice for the world, a check on legislative and executive power, that upheld our Constitution to help advance civil rights for hundreds of millions of people in our country. Whether corrupted by ideology, or fear of an authoritarian President and his rabid base, that beacon was extinguished on Monday.”
Assistant Democratic Senate Leader Catherine Miranda offered:
“This ruling raises serious concerns about the implications for civil rights and social justice. Racial profiling undermines trust in law enforcement and disproportionately affects marginalized communities. Is this what we want in our communities? It’s essential to advocate for policies that promote equality and protect individuals from discrimination. I have spoken about and warned the Republicans in the Senate over and over about the consequences of racial profiling, and they refuse to recognize the very real consequences of racist policies like this. We will push back every opportunity we have for our constituents.”
House Democratic Assistant Leader Nancy Gutierrez relayed:
“As a teacher during SB1070, I saw students afraid to come to school for fear they were putting their families at risk of deportation. They went without breakfast or lunch because families were too afraid to fill out paperwork. Students also went without medical treatment based on the fear that ICE would be called. This leads to students being distracted and anxious which doesn’t allow for learning. This ruling is detrimental to everyone.”
Of course, the day would not be complete without more revelations that Mr. Trump is a Male Chauvinist Pig with his artwork in his birthday note to serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Please see below.
Watch Representative Ansari give an unfiltered take down of Trump and his coverup of the Epstein materials, including the confirmation of the birthday note between the two creeps.
Mr. Trump also said that the legal profession takes domestic violence too seriously with remarks to his friends in the Christian Community at a Religious Liberty Event that:
“Things that take place in the home they call crime. If a man has a little fight with this wife, they say this was a crime. See.”
Do not know what is more disgusting.
Pig Trump making that comment dismissing the violent abuse of women or the laughter in the background from the so called Pious Christian hypocrites who claim to be committed to family values.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes response to Trump’s repulsive comment is on point.
Call Trump and the Supreme Court Conservative Majority what they are:
Scum, Pigs, and Traitors to the American Republic and Constitution.
