Trump’s Rage Over “Low” Deportations Suddenly Gets More Unnerving
A new DOJ memo argues that immigration judges can be stripped of civil service protections. That could lay the groundwork for firing them if they don’t rule the “right” way.
Remember when centrist dems thought it was the right play to hit Trump on failing to deport as many people as he claimed he was?
The dem establishment is pathetic and terrifying.
Your takeaway from Trump being a psychopath is that democrats are pathetic and terrifying? I'm all for punching to the right, but if you have T-Rex arms it's not very effective.

is that NOT your takeaway? Because trust me that is what the majority of people in the US are thinking. The Democratic party is over.
I take punches at Trump, Vance and other fascists/Repulicans all the time, I am mad centrist neoliberal Democrats have T-Rex arms and won't fight for us, sorry if you are too sensitive to handle the criticism or are confused by the complex nature of me being angry at two groups.
Where do you pull these strawmen? When and where was this happening? Gotta love lemmy and the dedicated propaganda campaign to join with MAGA to make anything and everything Trump is now doing the fault of the democrats. The good ol' Russian pincer, attack from both sides to prop up the party you want and make those uninterested in the party you don't want.
No I don’t remember that - do you have a reference?
But they brought some ping pong paddles to show how brave they are!
Fucking nuts. Bitch that the democrats aren't doing anything, then blame them for how Trump behaves because of what they do. Insane shit.
Why shit on centrists?
First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.
