I’m irritated by the lack of due process, I do think what Trump’s doing is unconstitutional.
I understand the empathy, but here's an important question you might not have asked yourself: What Due Process are Illegals entitled to when caught in the United States?

It does not mean a trial. That's what everyone assumes due to how often we use the term "due process" to mean "trial," but it most explicitly does not.
 
Comments to that 𝕏 post with high engagement (not logged in, using nitter.poast.org):
I'm guilty of this too but after watching the Tim Pool interviews with Sebastian Gorka and Kristi Noem, I'm willing to admit we're a little too impatient. It's only been 90 days. Noem hints things are coming. Gorka, who's a lot less reserved, comes right out and says it. Kash Patel has been spied on by Feds and had his home wiretapped like Trump's at behest of these Democrats. If the Democrats ever get back into power, Kash Patel is going to prison. Hands down. They threw Steve Bannon in jail. They threw Navarro in jail. All of these people are back in power with Trump. This is literally life and death for these people and they know if they lose, they're going to prison. I'm willing to give at least 1 year for something. Especially since we're getting hints they're going to go after Fauci.
 
This guy and his dress-up games. He's like a high school theater kid. "My country is at war so I cannot wear a suit." Who's ever heard such a thing? And he commits to this for years and years. Libs think it's fucking epic that he can't be bothered to get dressed.
While Trump is wearing blue like a fucking peasant. You wear black to a funeral. Zelenskyi is unironically better dressed for the occasion in this one. Doesn't matter if you wear a suit, no place for blue in a funeral.
 
They work for 2/3rds of the year, accomplish nothing (all children are illiterate and can't do math), and still complain about it while drawing pensions and 50 other benefits normal people don't have. Fuck teachers, they are spoiled rotten.

They make a shit salary, have to deal with children theyre expected to raise in lieu of their parents. Teachers are also expected to do tons of work outside of their work hours. Please enlighten me to their bevy of benefits. Aside from better retirement and cheaper healthcare what do they get? 'summer vacation' is a nice myth, too bad most teachers have to work through it at a second job, or just dealing with shit for their upcoming year. They truly make shit for money, ESPECIALLY post covid where prices have went up 200%. Also lets reiterate that theyre expected to put in so much time outside of working hours.

Use your thinking thoughts instead of a visceral gut reaction :/
 
Most teachers who want to make a difference quickly get disillusioned and leave. The ones that stay after a few years are the ones just doing it for a steady paycheck.
I did. Because administration, bloated as it is, plus Illinois, tied my hands.

And I do NOT want wo worry that I might not come home after work because I either got injured/beat/killed or arrested for defending myself or doing the needful against some nigger or boon.

My thoughts about how teachers only work 2/3rds of the year and don't manage to teach any kids basic skills like literacy or math gave you a visceral gut reaction called "being mad about it," and that is OK. What's not OK is teachers acting like they're the real heroes when they are categorically failing as a profession and still rake in the bennies such as pensions that pretty much nobody else in society has these days. Also did I mention several times already that they only work 2/3rds of the year?

You're wrong, deep blue is an acceptable color to wear at a funeral. You might have a point if Trump was wearing a a bright color like Pink. A sweater on the other hand is completely unacceptable no matter the color.

Then why is Trump literally the only head of state that wore blue? The Vatican even had instructions:
Men were asked to wear a dark suit with a long black tie and a button of the same colour on the left lapel of the jacket (where Vatican honours can be placed). White shirts under jackets were permitted.

Prince William is getting (deserved) critique as well. Ought to know better.

So nothing about extreme unpaid overtime, being forced to work through your 1/3d time off because you dont make enough money, nothing about how teachers are expected to raise children instead of the parents. The profession itself draws in the mediocre because of the shit compensation and benefits. Ok so not using your thinking thoughs, thats ok we can move on.

Deep blue is a dark suit, you fucking retard. A dark suit doesn't just mean black, it means a darker color, which deep blue is. I know other people are retarded, that doesn't mean you can be just as retarded as them.

they've been systematically fucked over by "No Child Left Behind", "Common Core", and lazy parents. I feel bad for the older ones and for the ones that want to do the job.

I get it, a lot of them are/were leftists. But, at the same time, when admin/districts force a hyper-fixation on standardized test scores, it kinda fucks over the kids who are already competent.

That and, well, the sheer amount of leftist cope over charter schools/private schools/schools without IDPOL shit. I've done work as a substitute before and it sucks when I realize that kids are just screwed over by niggers/shitty admins/shitty programs. The teachers are stuck because the ONLY disciplinary shit they can do is call the parents or give them some form of detention. The kids don't give a fuck. The good kids or salvable kids get fucked.

I can't blame the teachers, a lot of them are fucked over too. I blame the administrations, districts, and government. The fixation on standardized testing and "no child left behind" has utterly fucked up american education, which was already on a downwards spiral before the 2000s.

I mean, I get it. There are so many shit teachers and a lot of unaddressed cases of teacher-on-minor issues too.

But, well, it's a government job that attracts people. I've also noticed more and more "credentialization" in the field too.

Deep blue is a dark suit, you fucking retard. A dark suit doesn't just mean black, it means a darker color, which deep blue is. I know other people are retarded, that doesn't mean you can be just as retarded as them.
Deep Blue's been recognized as appropriate if the restrictions just mention "dark suit". This feels like the MSM trying to exacerbate "orang man bad" shit again.
 
A dark suit = black, not navy blue.

Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised to see how ignorant you americans are. So eager to shit on others, while everyone else sees what a clown your leader is.
Dark means black because I say it does. Why can't you Americans be as cultured and wise as I am? Why don't you have TDS like I do? Excuse me for a moment, time to sniff my own farts. BRB.

He's defending Zelensky wearing Stone Island to a funeral, it's just pointless to engage. This kinda argument has gotten the thread locked before when it went on and on.
