Habeas corpus has only been around as a legal concept for almost 900 years, how can you expect her to keep up with such fast-paced changes?

She's got Salvadorean prisons to be, puppies to shoot, staff members to fuck

These two administrations have been some of the trashiest people. It's like the capitalist class doesn't care anymore. They want chaos in the arena of governance, so they can spread their genocide world wide as we are at the bottom struggling with the bare essentials. I think there just hasn't been any human progress and the results of today is a failed liberalism which gave rise to a fascist government. This was always gonna be the case. The book of history never closes. The Cold War never ended. And it wasn't about communism. I focus on Trump's inner circle. It's like his administration is, give me money, and I might let you do things. And those things might be throw shit on the wall and see if it sticks. A very, very, very clumsy application. But finesse is not his forte.

Staff members to fuck? What did I miss now?

That article really buried the lede. Lewandowski bragged to a lady he was trying to get with that he has killed people before, and described two separate instances of stabbing people.

None of us are old and gross enough to be invited.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 7 points 1 month ago

Speak for yourself!

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 108 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Did she seriously get that wrong?

[–] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 160 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Wow, like not even a little bit right.

The secretary responded: "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 89 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow. Jesus fucking Christ.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That’s what to get when you hire a bunch of influencers.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

I saw someone phrasing it like:

Vote for clowns, you get a circus

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

Why do they have the opposite effect on me. Everything about her makes my skin crawl.

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (2 children)

what a remarkably fucking dumb bitch, I wish I could hit her with a piss bottle

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Open it slightly before the pitch, of course

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 10 points 1 month ago

Same. These people are morons.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 month ago

It's the opposite of right. It's meant to prevent the thing she thinks it is.

[–] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

"Habeas Corpus is that bad thing Trump wants to get rid of. How dare you question him. You get habeas corpus!"

[–] modus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The second part is scarier: "I also recognize that the President of the United States has the authority under the Constitution to decide if it should be suspended or not."

She believes that the president doesn't have to do what he swore to do.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I just cried a little

Well, the question wasn't about killing a difficult puppy, so how could she be expected to be an expert!? What's her job again...?

She thought it was a Harry Potter spell to turn the government into a literal corporation.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

She didn't get it wrong at all, that's far too generous. She fucking lied as to her understanding. Now MAGA has something to repeat. FOX will pick this up, and ever so slightly work it into their talking points. They won't outright lie, they'll be subtle and get the meme across. I've seen them do this shit for 20 years!

We street urchins and the media alike have to quit giving these people the benefit of the doubt. (Not saying you did OP!)

Does anyone really think she's stupid?! No one of substandard intelligence rises that high. Yes, her boss started at slightly lower than average, but money and a talent for self-promotion speaks loudly. And yes, attractiveness speaks loudly, but that takes real work and you'll find stupid people mostly look stupid.

Even MTG is probably "bright normal" like me. When we bag on these people for being stupid I think we're forgetting just how stupid average is. Allow me to rant.

I'm the guy always talking about working at Lowe's, garden center, rocket science. Started college in honors, remedial math. Literally called MATH 1001. Hardly anyone I work with, including my customers, can do basic addition and multiplication in their head. Had to pull 150 bricks today, pallet holds 126, how many do I need to add? Oh, and a layer holds 3 x 6 bricks, how high to stack it and how many extra, if any, on top? Customer wants 30 bags of mulch, everyone starts counting as we toss it in the truck. "Just make 6 stacks of 5." HUH? Told a dozen customers, "I'm not smart enough to keep count, I multiply."

How many people do we think are average or lower intelligence on lemmy? But it's 1%, if that.

Being stupid isn't contempt of court.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 63 points 1 month ago

He's looking at her with solid contempt.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You thought I was bringing charges?

This just makes me want to take her deposition. What does due process mean? Why is it important?

What does it mean to balance a budget?

What is the median annual salary of an American?

If you make the federal minimum wage, how many hours per week do you have to work to make the average rent? How many hours are there in a week?

Should you shoot a dog if you're too incompetent to train it?

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Make her pass a citizenship test.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would be pretty easy for her, considering that she already has the answer key.

[–] guyoverthere123@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

but, can she read the answer key?

Why would I want a man who looks at me with such utter, naked contempt and disgust?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 35 points 1 month ago

Because you’d know you’ve earned it.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

It's his love language.

[–] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Be her and that's how every human with an ounce of dignity will look at you

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

At least you'd know you didn't surround yourself with yes-men, I guess.

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago

If we’re following the letter of the title, that dude isn’t looking at me at all while she shits out of her mouth. He’s trying to telekinetically make her bleed from her ears with the power of disgust.

I could tolerate a guy that hangs around me and just absolutely expresses raw unfiltered hate at the stupid bullshit others say. Heck, becoming known as the guy with an entourage that projects menace toward stupidity might actually make my existence more peaceful.

"Wait a minute... I don't think her getting hired for this position was merit-based like she told me it was..."

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 41 points 1 month ago

That's the same expression Homelander has in that meme.

[–] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

granted...she is also publicly having an affair with a trump aid so there's that...too. "Hey honey it would look good if you made an appearance at these senate hearings to support me publicly and show a united front. No, not like that."

[–] Monument@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 1 month ago

I didn’t know about this until your comment, but holy fuck. It appears they’ve been having an affair since at least 2020.

No wonder her husband hates her.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

That is a face that very clearly says: *What a dumb bitch."

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

He is clearly suffering from not heeding the sage advice- “Don’t put your dick in crazy”.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 month ago

mrw someone says AI makes art more accessible.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The fuck makes her "Honorable", exactly?

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago

The way I read, it just calls he a "Hon".
