This is a blatant violation of the 4th amendment, and the cure for it is the 2nd amendment.

This is precisely what the Founding Fathers intended it be used for.

Garcia was deported to El Salvador with alleged Venezuelan gang members, but he wasnt Venezuelan, so they just declared him MS-13 instead.

Facts dont matter, they'll just create "alternative facts" that fit their narrative.

We hadn't heard much from him over the past few weeks, and now we get this earnings call, and it is far worse than expected. He's known this was coming, and has been laying low, probably hoping things will improve some before making what he knows would be a disastrous earnings call. Its the equivalent of watching your diet 3 days before a doctor's appointment, hoping your weight gain and cholesterol increase won't be as bad as you know it is.

Also, it's a safe bet that his board of directors is livid, and that he has been ordered by his board to get back to work, or be removed as CEO of Tesla.

There is almost certainly a shareholder class-action suit brewing over his reckless and irresponsible behavior over the last several months, which has directly caused severe, and probably irreparable damage to the company's brand image AND it's sales around the world, as well as tanking the stock price, an unforgiveable sin in the investing world. Now that the bubble has popped, it will never inflate again. As future earnings reports are released, and sales continue to slide, the stock will continue to decline, and the cycle will continue until bankruptcy. And it is all traceable to Skum's self-indulgent, egotistical behavior.

The only question is will Skum be the only defendant, or will the lawsuit also name the individual members of the board, for not reigning him in, or firing him. They don't want to be sued alongside him, so they are forcing him to get back to work saving Tesla, thus letting them off the hook for legal liability.

Its doubtful Skum will be able to save Tesla at this point, its almost certainly too late. It is also probably too late to avoid a shareholder lawsuit. Investors have lost millions of dollars, not due to the vagaries of the market, but due to Skum's outrageous behavior, like throwing up celebratory Nazi salutes on national TV, which, as CEO, he should have realized would damage his company and its investors significantly.

And arguing that he didn't recognize the danger in advance is no excuse at all for a CEO, who should have been able to predict the response to his self-indulgent ego bender.

Shareholders have lost many millions, and they won't just let that go with an "Oh well." He's likely going to get sued, and the board is just making sure they don't go down with him.

I give Tesla two years before they file for bankruptcy, and I'm only giving it that long because HitlerPig will give him a bail out that will buy him a little time.

It seems like the baby wasn't actually deported, but her mother was, and she took the baby with her. Since the government was handling the transportation, that's considered deportation.

In reality, NONE of it is actually "deportation," because that is a legal process that includes courts and judges, which MAGA Nazis illegally bypass. This is kidnapping and human trafficking, which is illegal, and following illegal orders is illegal.

IF we energe from this, it won't be enough to prosecute the MAGA leadership like Puppy-Killer Noem and Pakled Homan. The individual MAGA ICE Gestapo agents should be prosecuted and serve multi-decade sentences in maximum security prisons for each case they were involved in. They are well aware of the illegality of their actions, which is why they wear masks.

It is important to make future potential seditionists know that they will not get off the hook because they were only following orders.

and kept you in prison a labor camp (or brothel, I suppose)

The term "human trafficking" has generally become accepted to describe prostitution, and MAGA is using that to muddy the waters.

Among the spurious accusations against him is that he was involved in "human traficking" in some undescribed way, which leads most people to believe that he was involved in prostitution in some way. In reality, his "human trafficking" allegation stems from an incident when he was pulled over while driving a van of workers to a construction site. All were paid workers, eager to earn a day's pay, none were forced to do anything.

By that definition, driving your kids to school, the grocery store, or even church, could be considered "human trafficking." I hated going grocery shopping with mom. Does that make my mom a "human trafficker?"

He wasn't "wrongly" deported, he was deliberately deported. Any excuses that it was an accident don't hold water because the reasons against his deportation (previous court case prohibiting it) would have been uncovered during Due Process. They knew he shouldn't be returned, so they avoided due process to keep from addressing that issue.

Same with all the rest of them.

Guerilla warfare has been extremely effective against the US military for decades.

There are also a LOT of people still working within the government who do not support their current leadership. They can't ALL be replaced by loyalists, and with every replacement they get weaker, and the Resistance gains another experienced insider.

Resistance Guerillas don't all have to carry guns and be fighters. Those disgruntled federal employees are perfectly placed to cause all sorts of chaos, leaks, sabotage, weaponized incompetence, malicious compliance, etc. They will be as important to the fight as those willing to commit violence.

Symbolic gestures are ultimately useless against sociopaths like any MAGA. The only thing they respect and respond to is bold action, and bold is not a word that can ever be ascribed to the currrnt Democratic party.

And the Dems need to understand that if we end up in a full-blown dictatorship, we will hold the weak Dem leadership who allowed it to happen as we screamed at them to resist, as responsible as the Republicans.

As the Founding Fathers intended. That's why they gave us the 2nd Amendment. Dems need to embrace it as much as the Reps do.

David Hogg (Parkland Massacre survivor, and a loud anti-MAGA voice) is now a vice chair of the DNC, and he is calling for investing $20 million in primarying weak Democratic incumbents. I hope one of those is my Dem congressional rep, who is a useless weenie.

He's starting to show up on political talk shows, and he is a very smart, impressive, charismatic, COURAGEOUS young man, who is determined to change the Democratic party from within. He is scaring the shit out of the old established cowards.

We need to support him, and the rest of the new rising segment of young progressives like AOC, Frost, Crockett, etc., and those they inspire.
