The Democrats may be getting slaughtered verbally by the MAGAs, but they are still winning everywhere. The MAGAs are "skeered" so they are piling it on thick. Democrats need to start their own campaigns to rise out of the flames of MAGAdom and show the World that we are all here... we are relevant... we are the ones who actually give a tinker's damn about others, workers, democracy, equality, treating everyone well because we all matter...
We have to elevate, escalate and amp up that message and out scream and out holler the MAGAs and their lies about Democrats and left leaning others every day and in every way!
I agree. Time Democrats take a firm stand!!!! Meet magats at their level. No more we go high bullshit...that hasn't worked and allowed the mess we have. There has to be the point when you run out of checks to turn and you havevto swing back. As with any bully sooner or later you have to confront them on their level. Sooner is now!!!
Mock them every time at every encounter. Turn their words back on them. Throw the truth in their faces while mocking them. It works! They cannot come back from any of it because they do not have anything but talking points and propaganda to stand on.
Thank you for your efforts to share and inform from legalese to plain English. As Buckter stated who is going to enforce for the courts? The Marshall's office is helping the ice gestapo abuse the citizenry. If lawless DOJ wants to convict Garcia on human smuggling, whether he did or didn't, isn't that the same thing the governor of Texas did busing undocumented people up to New York and Chicago? Crossing state lines which is a felony when committing a crime. Then charge the Texas governor also.
Mike Lee should be removed from congress. He took that tragic loss and became just like Trump. Uncaring and crass as well as rude. Trump said he wasn’t calling Walz because he was a bad person and Governor. That is just Ridiculous
Thanks Popok for breaking down the legalese of these court cases, will need to see what Judge Breyer determines on Friday, as the 3-judge appellate court is waiting to see what comes out of that.
As far as DT and his defunding of women’s violence programs-wasn’t he the one who stated “I’m going to protect women whether they want me to or not?” What a hypocrite, he takes every occasion to verbally and mentally abuse women when given the opportunity to, how is this helping or protecting women-white, brown or black?
The state and federal legislators, along with the states they represent, that have been victimized, yes victimized by ICE & DOJ, should sue both agencies for unlawful detention, pain & suffering as well as DT, Vance, Johnson (he is just as complicit) and the WH staff.
Democrats need to remove the gloves and start “fighting back” at the Republicans & MAGAts, as this is going to get messy, but necessary to save our democracy!
No one has interpreted what Popok has been teaching better than your comment. I've been sick for four days, and wanted to write something in an educated manner, but your comments could not have been articulated better. I thank you for posting
My Mom worked at Paul Weiss for 35 years. I was practically raised there. I'd see Ted Sorensen in his Kennedy-themed office and my heart would soar. Ma got me in to meet him. He gave me an autographed copy of his book "Kennedy" and showed me unpublished notes of JFK scratched on legal paper, under glass on his desk.
The leaders of the firm were Ma's boss Arthur Liman, head of Litigation, and the great Judge Rifkind. I'm still heartsick that Paul Weiss caved. A staunchly Democratic, global firm caved. For the record, Ma couldn't stand Brad Karp ever since he was an associate.
I know in my gut that this wouldn't have happened with Arthur Liman and Judge Simon Rifkind.
….while no one is watching or even looking into what Donny and Elon have done and will do to rig these elections. And ITS NOT FAR FETCHED AT ALL!!!!! Trump always cheats …REMEMBER?????? He admitted Elon has help rig and win I. The past…it’s on a news video folks!!!!
Glee C, Thanks for your post. ... From the "If Marshals Go Rogue" Democracy Docket piece https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/if-the-marshals-go-rogue-courts-have-other-ways-to-enforce-their-orders/ ... "Even a rogue marshal’s service, in other words, is not an insurmountable obstacle to courts enforcing the rule of law. If courts have the courage, the legal tools are there." My fear and concern are tempered somewhat by this but not entirely so, "Courage" seems in short supply these days in all branches of government and in the main stream media. All best. DB
My God! This persectution and the cruel,callous ,unlawful actions and purges.I viewed a video online of an American psychiatrist today..as regards he outlining the factors that cause and result in the ultimate demise of a
authoritarian regime.
He stated Trump's dictatorship and corrupt regime is collapsing, due to their actions,lack of action, ethics and insensible policy.They are creating their own demise.Their intent to destroy American democracy,bureaucracy,its judiciary,now murdering members of the legislarure and dominate,steal and ruthlessly destroy its society and economy with their ill thought out insane policies.
They are obsessed paranoid 'nutjobs' as us Aussies would say... obsessed with hatred for all.
The psychiatrist ,sorry , I missed his name..my eyesight is not good..(cataract surgery is pending).
.He stated the factors that will result in such an authoritarian regime ..would be firstly,1...the American people are not cowered.They are resisting and not accepting this abuse of law.Furher,in a dictatorship to fall is 2.The military will not obey and comply..in L.A ...the marines could not comply to the order to round up citizens and non citizens as this is not their duty..their duties usually occur in war.
3.The third factor...the cronies in the Trump administration and Maga and Trump are NOT succeeding in the courts ..subject to procedural matters .the latter were the only Trump wins.
the other matters on the merits
resulted in Trump and his cronies losing the cases as ordered.Already..there are cases and the immunity principle that being relied on by lawyers in the courts and succeeding, fighting back against this repulsive evil regime.If this Maga regime is not halted and ousted, America will be destroyed.
We risk disastor ,wars,conflict,false impisonment ,persection,loss of freedom,a catatastrophic economic depression and or recession,nuclear war and the catastrophicl collapse of American society.
Wake up America to the brutal reality! Protest peacefully ,unite and vote these Maga thugs out at the ballot box for the public good ,democracy and the rule of law!
Michael Popok, I am going to have to get an attorney here in Las Vegas Nevada! Because I got a letter over the weekend? That says from the social security office I made $184,000 in 2023 to 2024 and I'm supposed to make the same amount 2024 2025? I wonder where that money is when I only live on $1,030 a month disability SSI retired nurse with no retirement. Need suggestions of a good attorney here in Nevada!
I don't understand how this behavior is viewed as acceptable by the Republicans. He has moved so far beyond "useful idiot" that he can't possibly be useful anymore (he'll always be an idiot, of course).

Notice all the yelling about the evil left when it's the right that's running amok killing and destroying America. Point that out FWIW.
Every statement is a confession...
Magats projecting their beliefs and wants because they have nothing!

My question exactly... and what about DeSantis and his private planes sending migrants into the interior of the U.S.?
Abbott and DeSantis did that - there is a paper trail - that is trafficking through and through.

Thank you Legal AF for your streaming of yesterday’s Appellate Court hearing.
I hope you know by now that I'm behind you 100 percent. What happened to Ben, his wife, and their baby daughter is grotesquely despicable!

The courts may rule but who will enforce those rulings? Bondi’s DOJ?
Judges can appoint their own Marshalls to enforce their rulings outside of law enforcement or the DOJ.

Bluesmorf, Thank you for your interest. AND for the "homework assignment". All best to you. DB
The judge has the resources to enforce the ruling without using the DOJ

ALOHA...
Democrats draw to evil and lawlessness!
Don’t forget the AUDIO where he confesses to being a serial sexual assaulter.

Not all misogynists are r*pists but all r*pists are misogynists.
