  1. https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/04/18/u-s-citizen-released-from-jail-after-arrest-under-floridas-new-anti-immigration-law/ He's been released now. Never should have happened in the first place. Hopefully the courts keep pushing back against this stuff or else this could become the new normal soon.
  2. Yeah it was Bukele just being a dick and mocking people's concern about Garcia's health and safety. Kind of pathetic that the Post would misleadingly print the garbage he said as if it was being spoken at all seriously.
  3. Sipping margaritas? What a load. That part certainly seems like bullshit at least. Looks like water to me. If you check the picture Van Hollen posted in fact, you can see a water bottle there on the table.
  4. This is why I choke anytime I hear the term right-wing populism. It's just a total oxymoron.
  5. They've been doing a lot of unbelievable stuff lately, but I agree that even considering this is a new level of ridiculous, especially when the republicans had no problem relying on nationwide injunctions to slow or stop a bunch of Biden and Obama policies. It was fine then, but suddenly it's not okay? I can't see them winning this argument though cuz it would just cause massive irreparable harm by opening up an incredible amount of people to deportation and be just a logistical nightmare if everyone potentially targeted by this administrations lawless acts was required to get an individual stay to protect themselves. As if there wasn't enough litigation flying around already because of all the insanity they've wrought.
  6. Wolf Man 8/10 (That was actually pretty scary. Now that was a much better werewolf movie.) Dog Man 7/10 Last Night in Soho 8/10 (That was a trip. Should have seen that twist coming, but I admit I did not.)
  7. https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/tto_release_properties_addendum_-_final.pdf There's eight frickin' pages! LMAO But yep, this is obviously some lame attempt at projecting the misdeeds she got him found guilty of in the civil fraud trial back onto her. Pathetic. It's I know you are but what am I on steroids. I'm not the fraudster. You're the fraudster. This is why sometimes I call him Pee Wee Trump. My apologies to Paul Reubens.
  8. Okay, it was revealed in a court filing signed by three attorneys for the government, Yaakov M. Roth (a more recent hire who appears to be from a Trump aligned firm), Erez Reuveni (been with DOJ for about 15 years), and Christopher Ian Pryby (can't find much on how long he's been there). Reuveni was put on paid leave about a week ago, but that doesn't appear to have anything to do with the court filing. He was suspended for not basically towing the line hard enough for them and showing a bit of sympathy for Garcia's situation later on during the court proceedings. I don't see anything about either of the other two attorneys being fired, so there's really nothing that clearly indicates this is something they didn't actually want coming out. Also, don't see any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt that there was really some kind of "administrative error" that led to him being taken when they admitted in the filing that ICE was aware of his protection from removal at the time. There's no proof either way, but it just smells like BS to me.
  9. You know he was reading from a script Trump gave him about what to say, because of how absofreakinlutely idiotic and nonsensical the explanation he gave was about why they can't simply return him. You send him back the same way he was sent there, on a U.S. government plane. It's simplest thing in the world to do. They just don't want to do it. They're begging the judge at this point to hold them in contempt. They're looking for more reason to rail against and undermine the judiciary ultimately. Honestly, I really question at this point whether this was ever at all a mistake. I mean how many times have they ever admitted making one? Think about it. This whole situation feels almost like it was designed to be a test case to see just how much they can get away with this foreign imprisonment scheme they've come up with. Once they effectively get away with doing this, regardless of what the courts rule, if they don't have or make a way to enforce the administration follows their orders, it establishes their powerlessness to do anything about this opening the way for them to keep on doing it. If the judiciary fails to draw a line in the sand here, they may as well not even exist. They'll be giving away whatever authority they still have left, just like congress already has.
  10. I think a good analogy for this is a your typical schoolyard bully getting off on beating down all the smaller, weaker kids in the playground coming up to the only kid that's just as big and, being the arrogant fool that he is, decides to try to do the same thing to this other guy. Only turns out this kid has got a 10th degree black belt in Kung Fu and likes fighting dirty. Pretty obvious how this story ends.
  11. Exactly. Evil cliffhanger. That went by too fast. Was that really two episodes? Didn't feel like it.
  12. Fly in the sky? He gonna have King launch him or something? Don't forget to go for the nape of the neck when you get up there Zoro. Can't hurt to try, right?
  13. PIca's such a blockhead. Yeah I said it. Still his power is just too much. As long as he's in contact with the earth he's practically unstoppable. Don't see how Zoro's gonna take him down if he can't find where the real body is at.
  14. Wild goose chase. LOL Knew it couldn't be that easy. And yep, oh boy, and he's got a gazillion look-alikes all over the place. Ha ha.
  15. The hacker girl is the most hard core criminal of the group? LOL Definitely didn't expect that.
  16. Not trying to destroy the world. He's just trying to destroy all humans. Not at all the same thing.
  17. A Working Man 5/10 (Okay action movie, but just a real lack of originality to it. Feels like Statham plays pretty much the same character in almost every film.) Elevation 6/10 Love Hurts 8/10 (Felt it got a bit too silly at times, but still a really good martial arts action flick.) Heretic 8/10 (Great psychological thriller. Hugh Grant was excellent in this.)
  18. This was the first I'd heard about this, but he's planning a military parade, again, to happen on his 79th birthday. He had sane people in his cabinet the first time to talk him out of it, but now that he's surrounded himself with just a circle of ass kissers guess we can expect it's almost certainly gonna happen this time around. Geez. Really hope a bunch of those forced to march in it take Titus's advice and honor bone spur baby by limping.
  19. And so he's raising the white flag slowly but surely.
  20. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/10/elon-musk-doge-spying “It’s like being in a horror film where you know something out there [wants] to kill you but you never know when or how or who it is,” one employee from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development said. 1984 really is coming to life, right before our eyes. Just about 40 years behind schedule is all.
  21. Poor family. Found this video pretty interesting. Provides a lot of insight and helps illustrate what might have happened here. Also, another small plane crash down in Boca Raton. Plane started having trouble shortly after takeoff and was circling a while before it went down. All three people aboard died. https://abcnews.go.com/US/small-plane-crashes-boca-raton-florida-police/story?id=120717334
  22. There was a statement that was put out in addition to the ruling that I didn't really look at before, but now that it's been drawn to my attention I gotta say it's pretty damn chilling. "The Government's argument, moreover, implies that it could deport and incarcerate any person, including U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene, wrote Justices Sonia Sotomayorr, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson. In other words, if they had found in favor of the government they'd have basically been incentivizing them to quietly kidnap and ship anyone they didn't like out of the country to anywhere and do conceivably anything to them without consequence. That's what the Trump administration lawyers were basically arguing they should be allowed to do, so if you were wondering why this was a 9 - 0 decision, there you go.
