She showed her true colours immediately. Didn’t care about the people in the team.

That sounds really really nice.

No, the courts absolutely couldn’t save you, that’s exactly what suspension of habeas corpus means - habeas corpus means that if you’re imprisoned, it can be challenged in the courts by you or someone else. If you lose habeas corpus, no one can challenge anyone’s imprisonment legally. It removes the right to trial. Your right to a trial if you’re imprisoned is called habeas corpus.

Ah OK. I offer a choice of two follow up questions for you: either question 1. Then would you consider yourself aromantic or asexual or both or neither, or question 2. Who is your favourite character from any game or film, and what do you like about them or their story?

Happy birthday for yesterday.

Who is your secret celebrity crush?

This sentence could land you in prison for life if they go ahead with “suspending” habeas corpus. Remember folks, if your detention cannot be challenged legally, it doesn’t matter AT ALL whether your detention was legal. If you think they’ll never come for you, you’re forgetting that they’ll rely on the volunteer army of MAGA “informers” who will turn you in for treason because you annoyed them by being kind to someone they were bullying or something completely trivial. Without habeas corpus, suspicion is sentencing.

Exactly this.

First they came for the immigrants, but I did not speak out, because I was not an immigrant.
Then they came for the students who protested Israel, but I did not speak out, because I was not a student, and I did not protest.
Then they came for the Hispanics, but I did not speak out, because I was not Hispanic.
Then they came for the trans people, but I did not speak out, because I was not trans.
Then they came for the gay people, but I did not speak out, because I was not gay.
Then they came for the Muslims, but I did not speak out, because I was not Muslim.
Then they came for the people claiming benefits, but I did not speak out, because I did not claim benefits.

Before all of this, they came for the black people who smoked a little weed, or shouted at cops who were shouting at them, and they locked them up and made them work for nothing or a nearly nothing wage, in prisons that profit from people who suffer for skin that’s not pink and parents who were poor.

And when I asked my neighbour to not let his dog poop on my lawn, and he informed the authorities that I was disloyal to the president, they came for me, and my wife, and my children, and there was no one to speak out for me, and no one to defend me and no one to care because we had all run out of care, tired of turning our eyes from the despotic travesty of everything America was supposed to not be.

If the caveat wasn’t intended, the word ‘due’ would be superfluous.

Well played.

America, this is your final warning.

Without habeas corpus, you are no longer the land of the free in any sense whatsoever, you will become the land of the unlawfully detained without legal recourse.

If the courts lose their ability to free individual persons, the president or anyone else in the administration, police, ICE or other force can

SENTENCE YOU to LIFE IMPRISONMENT on a WHIM.

And there’s not a single thing you or anyone else can do about it AT ALL.

Friendly reminder that to a lot of British people, “President Trump” sounds like “President Fart” or “President Blowhard” or “President Braggart”.

Conservatism is, as always, a complete failure of empathy, a lack of ability to recognise that if you don’t care about other people and you choose to put people who also don’t care about other people in charge, the people in charge simply and absolutely don’t care about you or your friends or your family.

Conservatives don’t understand that “them” and “us” are actually all just us.

West Midlands? Stoke’s the door to the North!

Does Stoke have good pubs nearby?

Easy target from his perspective. Would draw Nato resources away from Ukraine, so his boss would be pleased.

When Trump does something incomprehensibly useless from an American perspective, always ask “What’s in it for Putin?” and you may find you get answers.

Depends on the soup. Tinned soup from some manufacturer, maybe. My mum’s chicken soup? Boil that thing gently for hours and your tongue will love you for a week.

Ah, greentext screen grabs, you are an endless supply of disconcerting Internet entertainment.

Bullies don’t attack people they’re scared of.

It probably is. Don’t let my experience invalidate yours even a tiny little bit.
