Musk Sticking Starlink In The White House Definitely Isn't A Major National Security Risk, Nope, Not One Bit

In a move that absolutely everyone could have seen coming, the White House now has Starlink.

I get it; you view it as evil vs. good.

That's what it forking is, and if you don't see that, you've got issues far beyond what we discuss on this thread.

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."

Note the use of the word "person", not "citizen," an intentional distinction in the Constitution.

There are still other rights that you and I get that they do not. For example, undocumented immigrants facing deportation proceedings do not have a right to a government-appointed attorney and must find their own legal representation.

So no, they do not get "equal treatment."

Says the leading fratboy f****ot on Faux Fascist Noise. Limp deck incel baby cat

Somebody needs to grab Jesse The Pink Petunia and point out that his manly man god emperor:

1) Wears as much makeup as RuPaul, including face pancake powder, rouge on his cheeks and eyeliner

2) lisps like a steamy version of Harvey Fierstein, constantly flipping his limp wrists during public appearances

3) continually whines and whimpers about "nasty women" being mean to him

4) wears body compressing girdles around his bulbous pendulous medicine ball gut, and support shirts to hold down his bouncing boobs the size of volleyballs

5) has his hair done up so he looks exactly like his mommy

Yep, this is your mucho macho god emperor alpha male.

Again, this is completely unconstitutional. Established by an act of Congress signed into law, can only be abolished by same. There are a million constitutional ways he could cripple the department into nothingness, but of course that wouldn't make Trump the hero in his own addled brain.

Oh, the House Judiciary GOP account was hypocritical!?! Jesse Watters has rules for manhood that his big daddy Trump violates? None of that matters! They're trolling all the time and have been for years. This is Gamergate in the halls of power. Nothing is more important than pwning the libs.

Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus humiliates MAGA Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his reckless remarks — says that he "needs to be sent back to school" before really tearing in.

America has become the laughingstock of the world under Donald Trump...

"Well, I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school because when you say that someone doesn't have a right to have a country, that's an act of war," Angus told MeidasTouch.

He was referring to Rubio's support of Trump's idiotic demand that Canada become America's "51st state." Supposedly, the disastrous tariffs are an effort to coerce Canada into surrendering its sovereignty but there is simply no scenario in which they'll agree to do that.

"When you rip up arbitrarily trade agreements, and threaten, and say you're going to break a country, that's an act of war," said Angus. "And Canadians have responded in kind."

"The boycott that Canada has launched against the United States is punishing," he continued. "We were told in January a 10% drop in Canadian travel to the United States would cost 140,000 jobs. We're seeing at least a 40% drop now..."

"...and we're hearing these nightmare stories of ICE detention centers, of people who are traveling across the border to fix their visa or that, that have been strip-searched, chained, and kept in deplorable conditions," he went on.

"Is Donald Trump really trying to destroy the tourism industry in the United States?" asked Angus. "And then like three days before St. Patrick's Day picks a fight with the Irish of all people? You're going to pick a fight with the Irish on the eve of St. Patrick's day, throwing 200% tariffs and then 200% tariffs on France?"

"I mean that's the last bottle of bourbon that'll be sold in a generation in Europe so what we're really picking up here is not just the rising level of resistance in Canada — and I've been on a tour through the industrial heartland of Canada and the resistance is so much stronger than I could have even dreamed — but we're picking up now the rest of the world is watching Canada and following our strategy..." he said.

"...which is just disengage and to disengage economically," he continued. "So the United States has become a much weaker force on the stage of the world. If people aren't buying products, if people aren't traveling, if people aren't willing to buy anything American right now that's hurting so many American businesses who are basically collateral damage in Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance's idiotic campaign to please the MAGA voters."

"Its hurting us to some degree but it's right now, we think the impact on the average American business that has always had good relations with people in their markets, they're getting punched in the face right now because of what Donald Trump's doing."

Angus is absolutely right. America gains nothing from these destructive trade wars. All Trump is accomplishing is the immiseration of his own people. Meanwhile, our adversaries are starting to look like far more stable trading partners to our former allies.

Soon, America will stand alone.

Maybe not, but the point remains that they should get a hearing and whatever due process they *are* entitled to instead of simply being put in irons and thrown on a plane.
