To torture people, of course.
State terrorism, plain and simple
If you’re on the side of torture, you’re one of the bad guys
Can we not relitigate this. I remember this from like 18 years ago. It was not a good time.
It wasn't taken care of then, which is why we're dealing with it now. After all, we have to mOvE oN aNd LoOk To ThE fUtUrE iNsTeAd Of DwElLiNg On ThE pAsT.
yeah. The civil war is starting.
Trump has a team of people who dedicated time, energy, and resources, to find a loophole around a ban on torture.
That sums up this administration's direction pretty succinctly.
I agree, but there’s a difference. Trump is a figurehead. It’s not his team. Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation are the “deep state” that the right voters were convinced were controlling them through the dems. Peter Thiel, Putin, the Koch, Scaife, Uihlein, Bradley families and/or foundations, Barre Seid, Leonard Leo, Coors, Walmart, Exxon mobile, etc etc they’re all financing and guiding the hydra.
Trump goes away and Peter Thiel wormtongues Vance into doing the same shit
I think it's ignorant to underscore the importance of Trump. He's made himself as irreplaceable to their plans as possible. He relies on them to work like all kings do, but without him they'll have a much harder time keeping the coalition from cannibalizing itself.
We can only hope that the Big Macs and lack of exercise kill him quickly.
Totally agree with what you said. It was just easier to get a point across pointing at TrumpCo.
No way in hell he's top dog in this shit show, just a gullible fool of hate and piss.

See, this is why gwb and his cronies should have been prosecuted.
Instead, centrists were delighted when harris got dick cheney's endorsement, and were upset when gwb declined to endorse.
Orange hitler needs to be impeached, removed from office, and sent to prison for his previous and current crimes.
I was hoping this would happen after his first term. However it will never, ever, EVER, happen. There just isn't anyone with a spine who will do anything about him.
Now I'm hoping he gets a debilitating stroke/heart attack.
Or a long painful death. Colon cancer is fine, anything that can't be treated.
Last resort is assassination, not because I'm above such things or find it distasteful etc. I was, but not anymore. No, it's because if that happens then it'll probably be quick and painless. And that racist rapist kiddie fiddler doesn't fucking deserve that mercy.
Assassination would stop him from hurting people quicker than cancer. Even if he had a stroke that debilitated him he wouldn't get impeached, he'd just effectively be a more obedient puppet.
Not to mention, assassination sends a message to his peers too. As much as I want him to suffer, I think a quick assassination would be more effective.

Who's gonna do it? Democrats? Ha.
They're too busy fucking over David Hogg to care.
If you face torture or deathcamps, It's better to go out shooting.
Obama pardoning the Bush admin for torture was seen as weak and pathetic at the time, and its worse now.
He should have thrown the book at Bush and co.
It would have been good if the Obama administration had at least walked back the massive erosion of freedom, civil liberty, and the breaches of international law that happened under Bush.
But it didn't. No one has. Administrations from both parties seem to have kept it as a new status quo.
Obama should have done a lot of things. I'm happy he did Obamacare but man he could have been so much more. Such a wasted chance. And making Biden his VP was a catastrophic error. Biden sabotaged the shit out of everything he touched.
Obamacare despite the Republicans throwing the mother of all tantrums about it was such a weak half assed piece of legislation. It was literally a Republican policy before Obama stole it and rebranded it. What he ran on and promised was a proper single payer healthcare the same as the rest of the world has. What we got was a federal search engine for insurance policies and very minor guarantees of what those policies will cover (and even that small gain is increasingly in danger of being removed).
Obama was one of the least offensive presidents of recent memory, but that's far from being a good president. He certainly did some good things, but not as many as his reputation would make you think.
It was literally a Republican policy before Obama stole it and rebranded it.
And before members of the democratic caucus nerfed it even further.

Orange man is really leaning into this role of authoritarian dictator, isn’t he?
Pretty tough talk from the orange dude that vociferously whines about reporters asking "nasty" questions.
We should have Trump dragged through the streets by a Tesla.
Wouldn't you rather use something more reliable? What if it rains?

According to President Donald Trump’s lawyers, the administration can simply wait until after an immigration judge has conducted the proceeding that ordinarily would determine whether a particular noncitizen may be deported to a particular country, and then, if that noncitizen is allowed to be deported, announce that the immigrant will be deported to some previously unmentioned country — even if that immigrant reasonably fears they will be tortured in that nation.

Haven't they already been doing this in Guantanamo?
Yes. A lot of the Trump stuff is building on existing violations of international law that started with Bush II and were continued by each subsequent administration.

We’re so fucked.
Holy shit
Just what we need to put in the hands of this Orange piece of human shit.
extraordinary rendition meets enhanced interrogation, I guess.
Sean Hannity still hasn't been waterboarded for charity.

I'd be happy if he got his wish and then magically disappeared and we heard rumors of him being waterboarded for fun. I'd do it myself.
