We know how this is going to go with the court’s record lately. It is just Trump’s lapdogs jumping when he tells them too.
So, where will that leave Puerto Rican people? Puerto Rico is part of the Untied States but the people look foreign
Sometimes, I don’t even know why the state option is popular in Puerto Rico. It definitely is; they’ve had two official but non-binding referendum on this in the recent past, and the statehood option was a clear winner. Won by good margins over both maintaining current status or going independent.
Ultimately, I think it should be up to the people of PR to decide what they want to do, but geeze, this isn’t a great time to join the Union.
To be fair, they’re already part of the Union whether they want to or not, it’s more a matter of if they get to have political representation or not.
Come one man, you know where because it’s already happening.
Puerto Rican? Mexican.
Mediterranean? Mexican.
Native American? Mexican.
We have the whitest populace cause of jail.
Finally, ICE (and friends) can get new uniforms designed by Hugo Boss.
There’s a tree somewhere that needs fertilizing.
Dear Supreme Court: you don’t need to. They can’t.
Dear Congress: impeach Trump. If someone blocks you, impeach them.
Dear MAGA idiots: shut up and grow up.
Yeah, feels a bit too late for that. This isn’t going to stop until the non-fascist Americans drag them out into the streets and dispense justice. People are going to die and the good guys are going to need to organise a whole lot first.
Oh joy.
This court. Deciding if cops can openly be racist.
I wonder how they will rule. Lmao.
We’ve been here before. Looking Jewish, sounding Jewish, being where Jews might live or be, doing jobs that Jews might do.
Translation: From the face speaks the race’s soul

(Right boy) Seven year old jew-boy
Guys, that is a reeaaaallly slippery slope. Don’t. Just don’t.
-A concerned German-
The slope is vertical. We might catch ourselves before we crater, but I don’t have much hope.
Can I pay taxes on “apparent income”?
We just have to convince the conservatives that this would be a DEI program and it’ll be a slam dunk case. /s
Let me skip to the future decision for you: yes 6-3
Majority opinion written by Clarence Thomas.
Clarence “Uncle” Thomas.
Spy magazine ran a great cartoon back in the early '90s which I can’t find anywhere online. It was captioned “Clarence Thomas greets the day” and it showed him bending down on his front porch to pick up the newspaper with a negro stable boy lawn statue next to him.
Reality really is stranger than fiction sometimes.
Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles. Just long enough for the generations affected by bullshit to lose their voices and die.
Society tends to repeat on approximately 80-100 year cycles.
American society. And it’s been closely shown to hold since when America attacked Canada, of all places.
Other countries have their own cycles. Consider the 11-year Canada goose purge cycle that affects your friends to the north. It’s not spoken of but, like seal clubbing, a periodic culling is required to prevent them invading and burning the Library of Parliament and goosey sanchez-ing the last copy of the Declaration upon Dependence. It’s a little backward up there.
And western society though there is reason to dismiss the theory as pseudoscientific
Unsigned
Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me???
What the fuck America? Honestly. What the actual fuck has happened to your nation.
We never had a true democracy and that fact is coming around to bite us and everyone else in the ass again. We don’t have Christian denominations anymore, we have sports teams. We don’t have politics, we wage culture war. God damn bless america… I fucking hate it here
Billionaires with unchecked power.
Personally I support “The Great Repossession”. Time to take back what they stole from the working class. Just take back their assets.
And a few most moths to play.
The us was never wholly good. Maybe 3/5ths good, at best.
we’vr had sleeper cells of nazis and bootlickers on “both” sides of the aisles for a century or so because they’re all actually aged capitalists. When capitalists feel like their quality of life and profit is threatened, by labor or technology, they will work toward two things:
Moving the overton window in small steps as they test the waters and then implementing actual fascism in the waters where their tests succeeded.
Notice the areas with martial law are not really big on public ownership of guns or understanding of castle doctrine? That’s on purpose.
This.
Exactly what it looks like. Fascism is raping its corpse.
We clearly need help. Will it be from wherever you’re from?
What sort of help do you think any country outside of yours can provide?
The same help German citizens got, presumably
That “help” only happened because Germany started a world war
Most countries don’t just interfere with other countries’ politics… although I know that’s a hard concept to grasp for the USA haha

Just when you think, it couldn’t possibly get any more absurd.
Wait. There are still people who doubt this timeline’s consistently proven penchant for exponential fuckery? Are they one of those no-contact tribes? (Although, I’ve always wondered if those tribes were as much isolationist as “nah, fuck all of your world -we’re good.”)
I was just thinking this! They’re bringing the meme to real life.
It was never a joke. Nazis are truly this stupid.
Wasn’t this already decided when they ruled that stop-and-frisk laws were unconstitutional due to racial profiling?
Lol. You think this court cares what happened in 2013?
Only if it happened in 1862.
The court doesn’t give a fuck about anything but being corrupt at this point.
Why respect precedent when you can just make a new one and get bribed for it?
It’s called a “gratuity” now instead of a bribe. I guess the SCOTUS was feeling left out watching the other two branches make money hand over fist and decided to legalize it.
Edit: apparently the difference is getting paid after or before whatever “service” is provided.
Stare Decisis is for suckers.
Blindly following precedent without reason, maybe…but applying the law without any form of consistency isn’t helpful either. Rulings need to be fair, across the board. They can’t wildly swing from one precedent to another, depending on the individual whims of whichever judge is currently deciding a case.
That’s exactly what’s happening now, with the current Supreme Court…and look at how that’s going.
I wasn’t suggesting it, that phrase is an older conservative trope from legal blog from 20 years ago that is clearly motivating the current Supreme Court. (The current strict scrutiny podcast references it too in a clearly sarcastic tone as well)
They can’t wildly swing from one precedent to another, depending on the individual whims of whichever judge is currently deciding a case.
They can and they are.
That’s why I responded the way I did to the guy that said, “Stare Decisis is for suckers”.
The current Supreme Court is not adhering to precedent. Without that adherence, no decision is final. Every established law can simply be reinterpreted again and again, without any consistency.
Bro.
