President Trump 2.0: The NEW one and only politics thread

[Brooklyn Bridge]

Maybe they found out about Bert and Ernie?

I remember the episode when Elmo was reading the Communist Manifesto. The Word of the Day is proletariat.

That episode was bought to you by the letters D, E and I.

Then Abbey Cadabey led the unionization efforts at Mr Hooper's Store and turned it into a vegan co-op.

This woman should sue the daylights out of the Trump Administration and everyone involved in her arrest.

How is this OK to do? Do we even know for sure that those were policemen? Because, as the person/voice said, they apparently didn't look/act like policemen in the normal sense. This was a wrongly legalized mugging/kidnapping, more like.

Tufts University PhD student Rumeysa Ozturk was walking alone Tuesday night to meet friends at a dinner where they would break their 13-hour Ramadan fast when six plainclothes officers suddenly encircled her on the street near her apartment in Somerville, Massachusetts, surveillance video shows.

The 30-year-old shrieked in fear when an officer in a hooded sweatshirt and hat grabbed her by the wrists as another pulled out a concealed badge on a lanyard and confiscated her cell phone.

Soon afterward, the swarm of officers who had surrounded her on the sidewalk pulled cloth coverings over their mouths and noses, some of them wearing sunglasses.

"We're the police," the officers said.

"Yeah, you don't look like it. Why are you hiding your faces?" a person not seen in the video can be heard responding.

The masked officers handcuffed Ozturk and held onto each of her arms, the video shows.

One minute after the encounter began, Ozturk was led into an SUV and driven away.

The international student – who is originally from Turkey and on a valid F-1 student visa – was then driven "across multiple states," including multiple government offices in New England, Ozturk's legal team said.

The next morning, she was flown more than 1,500 miles away from her home to a staging facility in Alexandria, Louisiana – despite a court order about six hours after her arrest that Ozturk not be moved outside Massachusetts without 48 hours' notice.

While in transit to Louisiana, Ozturk suffered from an asthma attack, according to an amended habeas corpus petition filed Friday. Throughout that period of time, Ozturk was not charged or given the opportunity to speak with a lawyer, according to the spokesperson.

Then, she eventually ended up at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Basile, Louisiana.

Ozturk is one of several international university students facing deportation following a Trump administration order to crack down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations on college campuses.

The arrests of scholars and students at the hands of masked law enforcement officers – who have taken them into custody by ambushing them on city streets and near their homes – have sent a chill across the international student community.

Imagine...this is all at the behest of the President of our country. Oh, wait! No one has to imagine it! Donald Trump would be in jail for everything he's done. And that's not even referring to the 34 actual felony convictions he already has against him.

He is a disgrace, and not a U.S. President in any noble, honorable, or even normal, sense.

How this isn't a bigger story, and doesn't get the "law and order" republicans to fight back is surprising.

Well, they're all cowards who've always been all talk and are clearly anti-American. This administration is a criminal organization. Like the mafia, only stupid, hateful and with no code.

She's not white and she's a furriner. Roughly 40 percent of the country thinks she's lucky they didn't shoot her on the spot and regrets that luck.

It's disgusting, and I really do wonder what it's going to take for anybody to react to anything this freaking administration is doing.

This is surprising. Stinky doesn't like standing next to people taller than him, even his son Barron.

The MO is patently obvious. Kidnap the subject and spirit them away immediately to another jurisdiction. Lather, rinse, repeat.

As soon as the courts put a stop to this, the destination will shift from Louisiana to Gitmo (again). Or they could just lock them all up in DC because that's under complete federal control. Stinky and his Stinkettes are at Dave & Buster's playing a huge game of Whack-a-Mole.

He has no real, actual friends. He has enablers. He has stooges. He has people who have made deals with him, using him to serve their own needs.

But he has no friends, because a true friend would say, "You look like an idiot. For your own sake, do NOT leave the room looking like this."
