That should really not be legal.

It shouldn't be allowed, but unfortunately the immigration court system has always been fucked.

Immigration courts don't operate under Article 3. They're run by the DOJ and the AG. I probably don't have to say much more there. It's always been awful, but given the current administration you can assume that it'll be even worse than usual.

The narrative has been changing slowly over time.

And there has been at least one public case involving him and Epstein.

We all know he's guilty, and there is no way he is going to self-incriminates himself. The Epstein files will never see the light of day unless someone leaks them.

I am in constant awe of how these people are incapable of pointing the finger towards the issue here.

I am aware that maga is a cult, but we have reached the point where Trump and the Republicans are openly, brazenly committing acts that their own supporters disagree with. How much more obvious does the situation need to become before people start placing the blame where it belongs?

a lot of Asia is aware they need immigration to succeed,

While this is true, it doesn't necessarily mean they're open to it or that the immigration process is any easier for it.

as for Europe Spain is he most friendly to immigrants

I've heard that attitude is changing due to gentrification issues. Lots of remote workers have taken to the country and cost of living has apparently risen up in response.

I'm not entirely sure about either of these personally though(insight from people who live there would be wonderful), but I have heard about about the issues.

I used to be the pride of my family for having finished college. Now it's demonized by them.

I feel for the students of today. College was an important time for me. I experienced a lot of new ideas, my mind was opened. I didn't get to do much in grad school, but my first four years of college changed me and I wouldn't be the same without those experiences. The way the situation is escalating we may see colleges completely locked down or even abolished.

All you do is a quick search on the case to see if it’s real or not.

You could easily. We have resources such as LexusNexus or Westlaw which your firm should be paying for. Even searching on Google Scholar should be enough to verify. Stay away from Casetext though, it's new and mostly AI. LN and WL also have AI integration but it's not forced, you're still capable of doing your own research.

I've been telling people this for a while, but everyone needs to treat AI like how we used to treat the wiki. It's a good secondary source that can be used to find other more reliable sources, but it should never be used as your single standalone source.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, AI is being forced everywhere you look and it is getting a bit difficult to get away from it, but it hasn't taken over everything to the point where there is no longer any personal responsibility. People need to have some common sense and double check everything as they've been taught to do even before AI.

This hurt me to watch and it hurts me to see people supporting Trump's actions.

Suppose for whatever reason that you do disagree with providing more aid. Was humiliating the leader of another nation in this manner justified at all? Were these the actions that any reasonable, dignified leader would make? You could have just refused to meet with him and told him no. Instead they dehumanized him, made him grovel and beg for support from their king full well knowing he was just going to say no anyways.

I keep trying to look for some good in the people of this nation, to see that there's still some humanity left, but I don't think there is at this point.

Like I said elsewhere, everyone is really just waiting for him to come after the federal judges who have been holding back his EOs. The DOJ is currently being torn apart, but he'll get there eventually.

It'll take time before the damage starts to really, really be felt.

Federal judges across the country have issued injunctions on everything he's been writing up at this point. We're all just waiting for what is left of our legal process to finish, if it's allowed to do so given the current state of things. These judges will hopefully drag their feet on any ruling. If the appeals court does the same then you've got a while before the scotus can do Trump's bidding.

Inevitably when the process either finishes or Trump bullies these people out of their posts it'll take about a month or two. When social services get cut so that people aren't getting their social security, can't access or afford medications and whatever else he's cooked up they'll cry. They probably won't point the finger in the right place though.

For some reason the Republicans voters I know seem to think that their party is going to pass all the regulatory legislation that that Democrats were suggesting.

I just don't understand them. How did they get this brainwashed? It's not just frustrating. It's depressing.

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I feel like people might have. I vaguely remember when it first came out that there was someone on youtube uploading videos of them assaulting the woman's suffrage protester and they got taken down after blowing up.

Nah, they're into that. They just won't admit it publicly.
