Rise of Fascism in the United States [SPLIT]

This is bigger than just the obsession with deportations.

This is the State dictating to the Catholic Church, no less.

This is naked fascism. Christian country my ass.

Part of the reason that SCOTUS is voting the way they are voting is that the Court has been packed with conservative Catholics.

This is a case that should be put on the SCOTUS docket. Let's see if they put their "Freedom of Religion" for immigrants money where their anti-abortion, anti-LGBT mouth has been.

Thank his God that the Pope has spoken out on this.

After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty.

“They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

As a Presbyterian aetheist...I believe that those who feel they need this rite should be guaranteed this rite.

To deny it is pure evil.

So this is basically a constutional crisis (again), as Trump tries to rule as dictator.

I get that the regime is dismissing the lower court rulings and that he is expecting that this will sail through the Roberts court...but this turnaround seems a little unhinged?

I think he is testing the court to see how much dictator shit they will let him get away with, and how the court pushes back on it.

Very likely the judge will find a responsible administrator (Treasury Secretary, USDA etc.) in contempt, and subject to arrest.

It's about to get rough. And it will quickly go to SCOTUS.

What branch of Presbyterianism is atheist? Or do you mean former Presbyterian?

The Killer Sandwich Trial. The sandwich terrorist was Sean Dunn. The hapless victim of the sandwich assault was Customs and Border Patrol Agent Gregory Lairmore. Lairmore testified that he could "smell the onions and mustard".

No word on the cost of Lairmore's PTSD counseling.

It would be funny, if it weren't so Orwellian.

Border Patrol agent testifies sandwich thrown at him "exploded all over," left mustard stains

Sean Dunn has been charged with a misdemeanor felony count for throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agent during President Trump's federal takeover of D.C.

To laughs in the room, Lairmore walked the jury through the "baseball pitch" of a sub throw, as another witness put it.

Lairmore said he "could feel it through his ballistic vest" and it "exploded all over" him after the Subway stack hit him. He said he "could smell the onions and mustard" on his uniform, and even had an onion string hanging by his police radio later that night. The fast-food mustard, he said, stained his shirt.

Dunn's attorneys later pressed Lairmore on two gag gifts that his coworkers bought him after the incident, including a plush submarine sandwich and a "felony footlong" patch that Lairmore said he put on his lunchbox.

They also pressed Lairmore on why there are no evidentiary photos of stains on his shirt or of the sandwich after it was thrown, only a video posted to social media platform Instagram from a bystander showing the sandwich mostly intact. Lairmore said the Metropolitan Police Department in D.C. took over the investigation after Dunn was detained, and Lairmore said the sandwich appeared at least "bent and out of shape" in its wrapper.

^ It’s a story that comes across as satire. I bet guys like Lairmore get a lil woody in their pants when he puts his “ballistic vest” on.
