YOLO court strikes again
YOLO court strikes again
This is likely to kill more Americans than the Dobbs decision. Absolutely catastrophic power grab by the conservative court.
He isn’t denying asylum claims. That is a lie. He is pausing the processing of asylum claims so we can catch up. Asylum seekers will still get to apply; they just have to wait. There is only so much manpower and time in the day, so there is a finite amount of applications that can be processed during a week. Makes sense to me.
Holy fuck! As if Citizens United wasn’t bad enough. Our government is fully for sale now.
Saying he is shutting down the border is an outright lie. He put a limit on illegal immigration.

Biden ended the Covid era restrictions Trump put on the border that blocked nearly all asylum seekers. He sent thousands more staff to more quickly process asylum requests.

Biden expanded the path to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are married to citizens.
Most countries have a functional mental health system. The US does not. We fail on both accounts.
Biden is trying to expand and streamline asylum. Trump wants to cut it and deport millions on top of that. It’s comparing apples to the literal opposite of apples.
Oh, I absolutely agree Biden’s policy is bad too. Personally I think any more immigration restrictions beyond quarantine for highly communicable diseases is wrong. But saying that Biden is anywhere near as bad as Trump is just factually incorrect. It’s like comparing a paper cut to a bullet wound. Criticize Biden all you want once he is reelected, but until then you are only helping Trump get back into office by acting like they are at all comparable.
Here is the ACLU statement on the lawsuit.
Nowhere does it say it is a “crime against humanity”. Meanwhile the ACLU sued Trump over 400 times.

(Note that the say they have sued literally every president since their inception)
So chill the fuck out. There are only two choices for president and one is objectively the better choice for legal management of the border.
The ACLU is always suing whatever administration is in power. It’s their job.
I remember one guy telling his story that he was raped by a pregnant woman. He didn’t want to hurt the baby so he couldn’t force her to stop.
Numbers have increased because more people are crossing the border. Biden has initiated several programs to streamline the asylum process and reduce the time people are detained. For example even though unaccompanied minors crossing the border have doubled since the end of Trump’s term, the number of pending asylum cases for minors has decreased.
If you thought Covid was ever going away, that’s your mistake. Nothing to do with Biden. Get your vaccine and boosters on schedule and you will be fine.
Congress passes laws, not the president. The Supreme Court wouldn’t let and executive order last a day. Biden did what he could by allowing Mifepristone to be dispensed by pharmacies and sent through the mail.
He has said that and he did what he could by raising the minimum wage for federal workers.
“Defund the police” as a slogan is just ammo for Republicans. He is right to move away from it. Biden tried to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing act but the Republicans blocked it. He has done a lot more. See below
He’s running against Trump. That’s how he is stopping Project 2025. Stop fucking trying to make that fail by repeating lies and propaganda
You said before that you know Congress has the power of the purse. He cannot do the things you want without Congress voting for it.
You’re ignoring what Biden did after. He kept pushing for what the union wanted and in the end they got their sick leave. The IBEW that led Biden

It sucks but that is going to happen no matter who is president. At least Biden took action to protect us from foreign spying.
For more on the long, racist history of US treatment of Mexicans, see Project Wetback.
Trump reduced the requirements for protecting innocent bystanders and greatly increased the number of drone strikes during his tenure, which I think would be frowned upon at the pearly gates.
My first thought was Taco Tuesday Celebration, but then I just realized it was The Ten Commandments
And the growing LGBT hate. And the potential revival of the Comstock act. And the attempts at banning artificial insemination and contraception…
Realistically, they still drive. They just don’t have insurance so the second person they hit is fucked.
More of a stampede than a creep these days.
There is a rule for gas stations that prices can only be changed once a day. Sounds like that would be a good start.
Replace with who? Nobody has a better shot than him, like it or not.
Having to wait is part of getting asylum. It’s not the end of the world. If they absolutely can’t wait, they can cross away from the official border crossing
