Gas spiked under Biden due to the pandemic and Trump’s horrible oil deals the destroyed domestic production. Despite not being able to point to a single Biden policy, MAGA still blamed him. Now, we have $7.00 gas directly attributable to Trump and they are completely silent.
To say the War Powers Act is unconstitutional is idiotic. Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution says Congress has the power to declare war.
However, he’s correct that the Act is completely fake.
Since the War Powers Act was passed in 1973 it hasn’t been followed by a single President… except for George W. Bush… kind of.
Nixon ignored it and continued the wars in Vietnam, Cambodia, & Laos. Reagan didn’t get approval for Granada, George HW Bush didn’t for Panama & Iraq, Clinton for the Balkans, etc.
The only President who actually did go to the trouble of getting Congressional approval at all was George W Bush.
And that was a unique situation where America was in a tizzy after 9/11 and Bush pushed for Congress to pass the Authorization of Military Force Act, which essentially gave future Presidents a blank check on the usage of the armed forces.
So, no president has seriously followed the War Powers Act, JD Vance is just saying the quiet part out loud. He’s not an Obama, an incredibly intelligent manager of empire who knew how to pretend that he was abiding by the law while trampling all over it.
The Trump Admin rips the mask off the empire because they’re so stupid and belligerent. They say the things that Obama knew how to keep quiet, and openly show the world the brutal and aggressive nature of U.S. imperialism.
One week ago today, we shocked the establishment and redrew the political map of New York City with a campaign relentlessly focused on the needs of working people.
Let's break it down.
He's your party's nominee. You're supposed to "vote blue no matter who," remember? If you don't endorse the party's nominee, you're undermining the party and are a tool of the right. Remember?
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes & unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had "parental consent."
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This was a test run for a police state.
Trump has done *a lot* of criminal, horrible, impeachable shit.
But, if the Trump administration fails to return Garcia, or if any harm has come to him, it will be hands down the most illegal and deplorable action of any US president.
Let's be clear:
-Garcia, while a minor, fled gang targeting in El Salvador and illegally entered the US.
-While here, he eventually married a US citizen, testified against the Barrio 18 gang (even though it risked him being deported) and attempted asylum claims.
-In 2019, he was granted a "Withholding of Removal" and a work permit and so was living in Maryland legally.
-Whenever you are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, whether legally or illegally, you have inalienable rights - the very ones the President's oath of office claims to uphold and defend.
-Garcia was arrested on suspicion of gang activity, and departed with foreign prisons in El Salvador.
The problem is:
-There was no proof given.
-He had a "Withholding of Removal" which meant he could not be deported.
-The government argued they were aware of this withholding order but that he had been departed "by mistake" without any further hearing in court.
Courts had ordered the planes turnaround, an order which according to a passenger affidavit the pilots were aware of, but they were given instructions to ignore.
A Maryland court ordered him returned by no later than April 7th.
The government failed to return him.
The Supreme Court reviewed the case on April 10th and unanimously ordered that the US government must facilitate Garcia's return.
Since then Trump's administration has continued to play games, making excuses of why he cannot be returned, or failing to give updates - with many speculating that Garcia, who testified against gangs he was now in prison with, may not even be alive any more.
At the direction of the President:
-People subject to US jurisdiction were rounded up and deported without time for habeas hearings.
-Including *legal* US residents, against a judges order, who are subject to all rights and protections within the United States.
-Instructions to return the plane were ignored.
-Instructions from a state court were ignored.
-Now the Supreme Court has been ignored.
And the President who is supposed to be the most powerful man in the world, who has a duty to defend and protect those subject to US jurisdiction from wrong-doing, claims that he can't get this man back from El Salvador.
If any harm has come to Garcia, it is blood on the President's hands.
The protections he has ignored would have led to the direct harm of a US resident.
And it will forever be a stain on America, this shameful president, and on the court of John Roberts who allowed for a tyrant to exercise such authorities so repeatedly unchecked.
