And I know what you're thinking . Carol must have spent weeks and weeks workshopping that amazing song . I know you'll never believe I just made it up .
This is turning to a sheets and giggles podcast . Well , we have so many more important things to talk about , like the fact that the Colorado Supreme Court told Trump bitch , get your ass up out here , you are off the ballot in the 2024 election breaking news .
In case you somehow managed to miss that , like in you know , in this case , that's why we're recording an emergency podcast , because the news is so fucking grand and game changing that we couldn't go another day without recording , because we had to get this podcast out to you . It's a Christmas fucking miracle . Colorado , you did it .
Now , of course , the district court judge , who initially handled this case on behalf of crew looking to disqualify Trump because because of his actions on January 6th , that judge found that , on a factual basis , trump engaged in insurrection , based on the definition of the word in the in section three of the 14th Amendment .
But that judge found that and this is going to sound fucking insane , but I think we've talked about this on the podcast before that , based on the definition of the language in the in the article , that Trump isn't an officer of the United States . It was just absolutely fucking bonkers . We couldn't figure out what was going on . It was like this job .
This judge is insane . Like , of course , the president of the United States counts as an officer , at least in the context of the insurrection clause . Like , if you think about it .
I mean he was in the office . It's called the Oval Office , like I mean the Office of the President . Yeah , it's called the Office of the President .
Thank you for stopping me , for getting like all super rational and about to like explain like the nature of the word officer as it pertains to the United States Constitution . The nigga in office , he was in office , he's an officer , I mean . That pretty much sums it up .
And what gets me is they said that he didn't swear to uphold the Constitution . What the fuck ? What is the presidential vote ? What's always ? I get it . He had his fingers crossed behind his back so he didn't really mean it Is that , is that what the social path .
you know , he cannot say one truthful statement and you all should have known that his oath didn't mean anything .
Okay , well , that's not specifically what happened . So the president of the United States takes a slightly different oath of office than members of Congress and other federal officers do . But if you look at the wording of it , you could imply that the oath that the president takes is actually , like it's more constrained .
He swears to uphold the Constitution , like he's literally . It's in the Constitution that the president is supposed to faithfully execute the laws of the United States . Like I really don't understand how like the people who drafted the 14th Amendment and you have to think about when the 14th Amendment was drafted it was like after the Civil War .
It was like , all right , we're going to look at the Constitution , we're going to let the southern states back into the union . Oh , wait , a second . Jefferson , fucking Davis . He's probably going to run for president . We can't be having that shit , because you know what he'll do He'll run for president , win the election and use the powers of the office .
He'll abuse the powers of the office and like undo everything . We fought this whole fucking Civil War for .
And you know most lawyers also have to swear to affirm the Constitution . I had to , I had to , sorry . I mean like how low the bar is like coming to president didn't have to , and like you and his fucking lawyers did it and they're still out there , okay , anyway , that's a different matter .
Right .
It's terrible lawyers who were acting in bad faith on everything and definitely took an oath to uphold the Constitution of probably of the federal and their state Constitution and the states in which they are barred .
Just in practical terms . I took an oath to uphold the Constitution , like do myself , because I'm not a traitor , you know , and I don't even have like an official government's job to do , but just because I'm a good American and a good patriot and I don't want to overthrow the government , you know , I pledge to abide by the laws of this nation .
But just in practical terms , it wouldn't make sense to pass a congressional , rather a constitutional , amendment that would bar say , you know , a house representative or senator from everholding office if they engage in insurrection . But like the president , who hasn't you know control over the entire executive branch , like that motherfucker can do whatever he want .
Like of course . It doesn't make any fucking sense . And the judges on the Supreme Court in Colorado came to the same conclusion and from what I understand , it was a four or three decision and you can say that was a split decision .
But if you look closer at some of the details that they disagreed on , two things come to just are made obviously apparent the three judges in descent . They weren't arguing about whether or not Trump was an officer of the United States and also they weren't arguing over the facts as to whether or not Trump engaged in insurrection . So that's not the concern .
And then I know we did not dissent on those points .
That's those . Yes , those weren't like the points that they were most contingent about . It was more specifically about some Colorado state laws . But that's this either hidden over there , not the point . And I know you're thinking . If you're listening to this podcast , you're like oh you motherfuckers celebrate . Trump is off the ballot .
Well , it's got to go to the Supreme Court . Yeah , we know , bitch , yeah which of course ? Right .
And of course he won't .
Oh yeah .
We're going to see how much they're really constitutional textualists .
Well , we found that out . You know they like to go back to the 1600s and shit , so God , knows .
Yeah , when they overturned Roe versus Wade , roe v Wade , they think Alito went so far back in time that he quoted some , some dudes out there . That was like hanging women for being witches , yeah .
Yeah , I'm like literally hanging women for being witches , like yeah .
Yeah , ok , let's first . Let's start off with like textualism , right , all right . So there's this idea that the conservative justices on the Supreme Court are practitioners of an interpretation of federal law and constitutional law that's commonly known as textualism . They don't actually look at the principle that was behind what was intended when the law was written .
They just look at the text . Is the basically the four corners of the text of the Constitution as it was written and on paper . If you look at what the Fourteenth Amendment says at this , at this point there's no textual basis for them to overturn what was decided by the Colorado Supreme Court .
And this is pretty clear for a couple of reasons , and mainly it says that the remedy for anyone who's been found to have engaged in insurrection and been barred from office after having previously taken a vote to uphold the Constitution , the remedy for that is for Congress To vote to have that person's right to run for office reinstated .
So if the you know these motherfuckers who are like , oh yeah , I just like read the Constitution and was written balls and strikes , like , if they read that fucking it , fucking amendment , they're going to have a hard time bailing Trump out based on the principles that they at least proclaim to adhere to Now , as you guys know , okay , you remember when they were
taking he , alito and Thomas for the Scotis being compromised and then they made a ruling that nobody saw coming , so like it was something that was the ruling .
I can't remember exactly , but I know that it had to do , I want to say , with the LGBTQ community perhaps , but it was something that they were like damn , we totally didn't expect them to rule this way .
So when they didn't strike down gay marriage ?
or something like that , I don't remember exactly . So maybe with this they'll feel like , okay , we got to throw them a bone because they did , they all decide , voted against , hearing Trump's baseless claims about the election being stolen in whatever . So it's not like they will automatically rule in his favor , thomas , okay , whatever .
But the rest of the , the justices , you know , I don't know and they may decide not to take it up , which I'm hoping that they like . Yeah , you know whatever .
Okay , so there was a lot in there . First of all , I you know , obviously we can't we can't trust conservatives on the Supreme Court . Like the thing I said about textualism , it's not actually a legitimate and wildly , widely hate Wild . I can't .
Widely held .
Widely held . Why is English so difficult when it's my first language ? A widely held .
Did you go to public school ?
That's something half half the time , a widely held legal interpretation of like how the Constitution is supposed to be viewed . It's more of like this really narrowly held set of views by conservative lawyers . We don't have time to get into that .
But the point is that particular way of interpreting the law typically favors conservative viewpoints and that they use that to get to the outcome that they generally want .
But the thing is , it's just hard for me to believe that they would go into this case . That is , like so goes to the heart of , like , the principles on which the United States were founded . I I don't think they're just going to be like , yep , goodbye Constitution .
I mean , I know you said Roe v Wade , but like that , not , it was not directly in the Constitution . There's nothing about yeah , I guess there's a lot of I don't know nothing about abortion in there . I don't think they're going to be like Interaction is fine . Here's the thing the Constitution is wrong .
The motherfuckers who are like oh , we're textualists , we read like the four corners of the fucking document yeah , explain executive privilege . That shit ain't in the Constitution . And they uphold like the right of executive privilege for president all the fucking time . That's not the point .
The point is , but does it say that there isn't executive privilege ? There are plenty of things that aren't in the Constitution that they can , that they can rule on .
Yes , like , like the right to access abortion , but clearly they don't give a fuck about that , nor precedent Star Decisive is whatever you want to call it . The point is that they use what is perceived to be a legitimate form of interpretation to benefit themselves when it's convenient , and then they discard it when it's not .
And this might be a particular instance where they might choose to discard it because it's not expedient for them to have Trump barred from election , even though , if you read the fucking 14th Amendment , trump is clearly disbarred from office . And you're going to say and listen , I hear the arguments from MAGA already I've been on the Twitter .
They're going to say , like well , where was Trump convicted ? Well , if you read the 14th Amendment again , it doesn't say anything about a criminal conviction .
Just let engage direction right .
It's the same thing , is like the section of the Constitution that lists qualifications for the president and says that , like , no one under 35 years of age can run for the office of president , but you don't have to go to court and be criminally convicted of being 34 years old to be barred from running for office If you're . It's like literally the same thing .
There's a fact finding process , if states choose to so , engage in it , and then the secretaries of state whoever controls the elections individual states can decide for themselves whether or not a president has engaged in insurrection . Obviously , in criminal cases , the standard for proof is beyond a reasonable doubt . This isn't a criminal case .
It didn't have anything to do with Trump losing his freedom Well per se , again like being being barred from running for office . It's not the same thing is losing your freedom and going to prison .
So I would assume , unless you , unless that's the only way you are out of prison . But that's a different problem . That's not really our fault .
I am interested in finding all of those people , when we talk about losing our democracy , that have been in my vengeance talking about . We're not a democracy , we're a constitutional republic .
It's a form of democracy .
It's no . But guess what ? This ruling was based on the Constitution . No , yeah , those mental gymnastics are going to be interesting to hear , because they they've been liking to tout that we are a constitutional republic and we are a constitutional republic . Well , here we are , using the Constitution as a basis to save our republic .
So I'd love to see how they um , I don't know do a triple .
They're not handling it well , they're not , they're not . They're not handling it well , they're , of course they're not . They're already like oh civil , it's civil war time . Civil war is trending on the Internet .
I'm aggrieved .
Things are not going well for white men Civil war- yeah , well , you know things aren't going well for one particular black individual as well , and Ty alluded to him earlier . He's also an issue on the Supreme Court . His name is Clarence Thomas .
I think there's more than one black individual for whom things are not going well . I've Derek , who's the other one .
I just meant like specifically in reference to what we were talking about earlier . I'm sure there are a lot of black individuals who things are not going well for yeah .
I'm sorry that was a , not a . I guess that was not a good joke .
Well , fingers crossed , you know . With his ruling in Colorado , other states will follow suit and , like at least you know myself , Ty and other black individuals all across America won't have to worry about , won't have to worry about being deported to Africa , even though we ain't ever been there .
Well , I do , we get to pick the country , at least because they seem to think Africa's one whole country . But it's not .
That's a whole another conversation that deserves an entire podcast about Africa .
Right .
Ty chose Ghana . I'm actually going to go with either Tanzania or Kenya now , because Ghana , like , kills gay people and my daughters .
So oh , I'm going to go instead .
I'm going to Liberia with Josh . I'm going to go with the other Tanzania . He's from Liberia , or his parents and family .
Yeah , I'm going . I'm going to Liberia with Binda , because then I'm out . So if y'all ain't seen his abs , check out his Instagram or maybe just hit the Google button Josh Binda abs . It'll pop right up . No , I ain't look , I'm , I'm slightly kidding . Look again .
Trump did the other day , during his rally , expand his immigration deportation policy from like people coming across the south , the southern border , to like Asians and people from Africa . And you know , when he says that he don't , he ain't talking about no actual African Americans , he means us Negroes . I never been to Africa .
Yes , my parents ain't ever been to Africa . My grandparents ain't ever been to Africa . My granddaddy fought in World War Two and he , even when he was I mean not World War Two , I'm sorry the Korean War , and even when he was over there he went to know Africa . My great-grandparents ain't ever seen Africa . So I'm trying to send this back to Africa .
Anyway , well , he's going to pogrom us , first because he's , you know , talking , because he talks about deportations , but then he talked about yeah , we're going to the camps first and then from there we'll be deported .
Got it and he did it . That's what he's going to take ?
Well , I don't think . I think that you too , specifically , will probably also me , but that's because first it'll be pains in the ass , I think , because you're a pain in the ass before you would be pogromed because you're black , I think .
Are you sure about that ?
So , ok , I remember having a dumb conversation with someone in York in your tweets D and they were like you're so like you Democrats are so stupid and alarmist . I do think they're going to execute 175 million people . I'm like that is not what it suggested . When you say that someone is going to go execute his enemies , you can't execute half of the country .
You need someone . You need people to control . You have to control your enemies . You don't want them all dead , but you go for the loudest . Well , he's going to get his own , as you said , his own party members who just who are ? Doesn't disagree with them first .
Yeah Well , before you move on , wait before you move on from that , though that is rather important . Like he's got to kill the people in his own party first who are against him Otherwise , anyway , and that includes members of Congress and the ones who answer .
I'm just saying there are a lot they need to kill enough people to make a point . Trouble makers people everyone else into , into complying . They don't want to kill everyone those need . Those are sources of cheap labor .
Yeah , I'm , glad you're aware of this . For .
Carol , that's what the domestic supply kids it's well , obviously yeah , because then they'll say like oh , of course the government will take care of them in these workhouses that we've now reopened , because otherwise how will ? These babies are in a living , but it's science .
I totally got us off topic here Back to our Supreme Court and that was my bad . No , it was my bad .
I'm . I was making a really lame joke where you're like things are going really bad for one black guy and I'm like just one black guy .
You know what I thought about ? Ok , so I OK , here is a reckless , here's reckless speculation .
How reckless are we getting ?
So my reckless speculation is that the Supreme Court is going to want Trump , that they're going to rule against Trump . And why is ? Because they're going to be on his hit list . Because they didn't take up . Remember , when he was calling them rhinos and people were drawing cities around their necks and stuff like when they didn't take up to hear his argument .
So he doesn't forget . He does not forget .
Well , here's the thing . So they they recently decided to take up Jack Smith's request to hear the appeal on Trump's immunity claims . And yeah , first of all . Look , this is going to take a minute and we just don't have time to do this all in one and in this episode of the podcast . We'll tackle it next time , promise you .
But long story short , like they really only have a couple of choices in this instance it's either the president is immune from all crimes , or the president is immune from no crimes , or , at least , you know , outside the scope of their duties in office .
And if they tried to narrow it in such a way where it only applies to this specific instance , where they let Trump off the hook and grant him immunity in this one fucking instance , I think that would do Trump . It would get Trump off of their backs temporarily .
Now , now look at . Look at those other bootlickers , like the Kevin McCarthy's and the Nick Haley .
No , I'm not saying Trump's not going to kill him , but I'm just saying , like , in the way that we interpret it , in the way that we interpret it , like you know , trump finding Allies in the Supreme Court , like it would temporarily let him look as soon as he gets in the office once he's reelected , the first thing he's going to do is going to kill .
I'm telling you this . It's not . It . It sounds like reckless speculation . It ain't .
he's killing Congress because Congress For the part about him becoming president again , because that's the thing .
I'm recklessly yeah , should he find a way to finagle his way back in the office . The first thing he's doing is what he did when he left office he's going to try and kill Congress because Congress is the only body that can have him removed from office . Like it's . It's fairly clear .
Like you know , if you're in office , you're basically immune from prosecution as long as you're in office , and then the only body that can remove you from office is Congress , and it takes the House to open an impeachment inquiry and to vote for articles of impeachment .
So he's probably going to kill House representatives first and then , should there be enough House representatives left to vote to impeach him , he's going to kill fucking . He's going to kill the Senate and he's probably going to kill the Supreme Court , because they're the only other check left on his power . He's going to do it .
He tried to do it on January 6th and the only reason that he called it off after hours and hours is because they couldn't find members of Congress .
So the crazy , the person I was talking to , did raise one interesting point , which I mean . By the person I was talking to , I mean your Twitter follower .
The insane person that you were arguing with in my mentions , because I have a lot of those .
Yeah , one of the many of them . So who would be doing it ? So I guess , if Trump got into office , how quickly would he be able to command the military ? Or if he had some sort of paramilitary lined up , would they be able to take on the US military and could his competence allow that to happen ?
Like how swiftly do you think he could really organize that and do you think that ? I don't think the US military would get behind it . Do ? I think it would take weeks .
One , because they're already working on lists of people that they're going to put in high priority positions . And then two , you don't need the entire military to stage a coup , you just need a handful of loyal people , and then you cause confusion by ordering the rest of the military to not respond to an attack on the Capitol . And then boom , congress is dead .
It don't take that long , it's pretty , it's pretty straightforward . You only look .
Thanks for giving them a strategy . Dee , yeah , you're welcome .
I hope he's listening to the podcast and getting all his ideas for how to destroy the government and destroy democracy from part of the insurrection . Yeah , no , it only takes . It would only take a couple hundred people . A couple hundred . Well , you know , you get a small battalion of Trump loyalists to March on the Capitol .
Boom , congress is dead Because you saw , you saw on January 6th , right , how many hours did it take for the military to respond ? I'm too depressed to finish the rest of the episode now Goodbye .
I'm sorry I was so in the end Recording stopped , I guess Well look , it's not going to . Hopefully it won't come to that , but again back to our clearance problem , Thomas problem .
So you know if you've been paying attention to the news problem , thomas , yeah , he just like the words are just running together because I'm so excited from the good news , even though I'm being a bus kill .
So you know , if you're well aware of the news of , you know , the past 24 hours clearance Thomas basically put up a four sale sign on the Supreme Court . See , he was like damn , I am making enough money , I might get up out of here . This was like 2000 . I'm not sure , I don't know , I don't know , I don't know , I might get up out of here .
This was like 2000 .
Would be a shame . Oh , a nice conservative seat that you guys have . Yeah , it'd be a shame if something happened to it .
Yeah , right , so and what it ? You know people are trying to make it sound like , oh , he was just asking for a raise . No , he was blackmailing Republicans to give him fucking money . And you know what happened .
Immediately after that , a bunch of fucking wealthy Republican billionaires showed up to lie in his fucking pockets , as well as Alito , because they didn't want to lose their fucking majority . And , by coincidence , you know they've hung around for 20 years and ruled some insane shit that seems to favor like Republican talking points . Regardless of how .
Forget about precedent . As long as you lie in the name of the fuckers pockets , you get the rulings . You want it . How they come to potentially buy this in the ass here with these Trump rulings as far as immunity goes and , of course , this Colorado decision that will get appealed to the Supreme Court .
Like you never know what the fuck Clarence Thomas is going to , because he ain't got no principles . All he responds to is paychecks . Here's the catch . Unfortunately for Clarence Thomas , this particular instance where Trump has ruled to have been found to have engaged in insurrection on January , january 6th his wife is a fucking co-conspirator .
Yeah , and if , like , if , there's any merit to these recent ethical guidelines passed by the Supreme Court . You know , even though we know by the like the legitimate letter of the law , there is nothing to them , they're meaningless . Like , the ethical guidelines are basically suggestions , at best . There's no enforcement mechanism .
There's no one to hold them accountable if they don't follow the guidelines . But like , just just by , like it's sheer . It's totally obvious . Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from any decision having to do with Trump and Trump's behavior or his activities as it pertains to his attempt to overthrow the government , because his wife was fucking involved .
Now , clearly again , clarence Thomas , you can't ever count on him to do the right thing . Unfortunately , they put like the worst black person in America on the Supreme Court , because that's what conservatives do , I guess . Like just respectful man .
I mean , if you look at the like worst brown people in America , nimrod Haley is running for president as a Republican . I mean it's just . It's just what they do .
And baby grandma , I'm a swami . And what that Bridget ? Oh no , she's Lebanese . Bridget Gabriel . Yes , she's brown . She's the one that got all that stuff done in her face .
Yeah , she got Michael Jackson surgery yeah to make her look a lot more wider than she actually is . Yeah , look if you there's the running theme here Republicans corrupt minority members of their party and like use them as anyway .
More importantly , clarence Thomas can't be involved in any of these decisions and you know , if he doesn't recuse himself , it probably ain't looking too great and I mean , I just Hopefully the Supreme Court would do the right thing , but you can't rely on it .
At the end of the day , we're likely going to have to vote for Joe Biden in 2024 , regardless , because we can't necessarily count on the system to save us , because the system is compromised of individuals and individuals have different motivations and respond to different stimulus . The same way Clarence Thomas responds to pay checks .
But , anyway , it's still good news . Trump's off the ballot for the moment in Colorado . I mean that decision's technically stayed until like the very latest possible date when the Colorado Secretary of State has to formalize the what is it ? The primary ballot ? Yeah , like January 5th , 4th , something like that . Details .
And I have to move quick . And it's so sad those , those Supreme Court justices , might not be able to enjoy their Christmas breaks . They haven't recessed like .
Congress .
I mean they get all of they have , but they have a price , so much vacation . They have a process for taking up expedited appeals , like the shadow docket . It's one , one way they can go about it and they can they can take it up Of course they can , yeah .
And we don't know if they probably have to and I hope it ruins some of their . They might have to .
The thing is , when it comes to , like , the factual finding , they really kind of got to respect what happened in Colorado . They , they , they , like the fact finding is done . All they can do is interpret the Constitution as an applause to the facts .
Now again , like they can do whatever the fuck they want to because there's nobody to check them , but like if they're doing their job , they really got to let this stand and the only remedy is Congress .
Anyway , if they're doing their job , that that room I know it's a big of it .
It's a big fucking if , If . That if is bigger than them , lies Trump be telling .
I know I'm sorry , but watch them just to get us a government shutdown and then be like actually the Supreme Court is not an essential service . I cannot work . You know that would keep Trump off the ballot .
You joke , but Republicans will probably will try to defund the Supreme Court if they uphold this ruling . All right , so I talked about this yesterday .
Well , I guess , if you're listening to this two days ago on on a solo pocket part in episode of the podcast and I'll just for you guys a sec I'll tell you what I think will happen should the Supreme Court decide to take any one of these avenues and and and screw America by bailing out Trump .
So say they take up this immunity argument and they're like all right . Well , in this one particular instance , where Trump is concerned , you know he can't be charged with any of his actions that involve trying over the 2020 election . You know , in whatever manner they decide to do that , and I know , like you think , when that would be fucked up .
What is Jack Smith going to do at that point ? Like you'll have to drop in diamond of Trump , clearly , but like , all right , what's plan B ? Well , from what I understand and just looking at Jack Smith , smotherfuckers always prepared . He's always .
He seems to always have a good idea , always have a contingency in place for whatever particular predictable outcome may arise from any of the moves he makes , and I think , if the Supreme Court decides they want to bail Trump out , what they'll really be doing is screwing Republicans .
Because if you just stop to think about it for a second , if you look at the January 6th indictment in DC , what did Trump do ? Rather , what did Jack Smith do ? He narrowed the indictment down to specifically just Trump , even though there were a number of unindicted co-conspirators who were mentioned in the indictment .
And , and beyond that , we know of a lot more members of Congress who were involved with the same plot who weren't mentioned at all , not even as undidied co-conspirators .
And the reason why he did that is because he's looking at the 2024 election and he's like we got a streamline in this trial , get it done a sap and get Trump , nail his ass and get him the fuck out of here . Well , the Supreme Court bailed him out and Trump's off the list of priorities . That saves Jack Smith . He can go after everybody .
He ain't got a way , he ain't got to get Trump and then work his way back down the ladder .
He can just indict all of Trump's co-conspirators , including all of the members of Congress who were actively involved in the plot , and like trust me on this , there's a number of them I know like the media won't talk about this , but like Trump's not the only person involved in the fake elector plot and like no part of members of Congress .
Like Congress members , duties involved submitting fake electors to the National Archives in order to vote on them on January 6th . And if they say the Supreme Court decides they want to save Trump , they'll be doomed in the rest of the public , republican Party , I love it .
Yeah , I mean , and again .
Republicans currently have a one seat majority in the house . They can't afford to lose another fucking member .
That's well , according to my heart , actually no one dies , so yeah or or or no one gets indicted . Well , that's , that's a that's going to happen when , I don't know . But if anyone dies between now and they come , they reconvene , that's not going to go well .
And this is going to count as my closing thoughts . But remember , new Yorkers , there's a special election to replace George Santos coming up a week and a half . Oh , wow , that's soon . Yeah , and it looks like you can register , basically up until the day of the election , which I didn't know was a thing for New York . Ok , special election , let's see .
It will be on February 13th , so never mind , I was way off , it's not in a couple weeks , so like six weeks . February 13th , register to vote If you live in New York's US Congressional District 3 .
And if you don't live in New York , tell everybody you know . To tell everybody that they know that they live in New York . To register to vote .
Or , if you're Casey , the census tell everyone from out of state to come and vote .
All right , it's time for our shithole of the week , Ward . I'm hereby officially nominating on Tisbehaf Greg Abbott . Because of this immigration law that Texas recently passed and Abbott signed off on , making this is like it's not funny , but it's funny . Making it a criminal offense to enter the state illegally , even though it's already illegal to do that .
But this law he can basically totally ignore due process and anyone suspected of being a legal immigrant . He can have them deported from the state . It's not the country .
So it's not stopping first and stopping deported , basically stopping deported for brown people , yeah .
Yeah , it's going to be used . I what I expect to happen is they're going to go after a bunch of brown people trying to have them deported and it's not going to take very long before they accidentally quote , unquote accidentally deported a citizen of the United States without the due process , and that's going to cause a huge sale of fucking problems .
And it's just funny because I was having a conversation with my mother earlier about politics , which we don't usually do . Turns out like her views on immigration leaned slightly Republican and she's not even aware of it . But I was telling her like you sound like the people who are trying to get Trump reelected so they can deport us back to Africa .
And she's like well , they would never deport a citizen .
And I'm like .
OK , you think they actually she's like , but that would violate the Constitution and I'm like oh . Christ .
She's so idealistic , and Trump planning , saying he wanted to get rid of birthright citizenship . He told us , and like revoke birth people's , he was going to revoke citizenship's of people .
I think that's the way of getting rid of Melania not having to pay that Reena .
Well , all right , two things I hear by war . Greg Abbott , the shithole of the weak war .
I think that's it's got to be a lifetime achievement , or ?
I feel like that's at least his third time . So he's definitely here by band from . He's barred from running for the shithole of the weak war , but he is now eligible for the shithole of the year , ward . Tune in for the next episode of pardoning the insurrection for that and to like in time . Sorry to cut you off here .
We'll get your closing thoughts on another episode . But you know my mother's black she's . She's been in America , she was born here . You know she grew up in a civil rights era when when she went to school as a child , she couldn't even go to school with white kids , that's . You know , that's the time that she grew up in .
Even this fucking insane disinformation that they propagate nonstop on the right , it even worked on her . So you've got to be fucking diligent about this shit because you just it's . It's fucking insidious . And that concludes this episode of pardoning the insurrection .
