Gang leader Gregory Bovino, the Commander Op At Large CA above, who is going to every city Trump has specifically targeted to cos-play some kind of robo-cop fantasy, says everyone, including citizens, must carry immigration documents. What?
Do you have any immigration documents? I dont. Apparently, a Real ID doesnt suffice. Do we all have to carry passports? Does it even matter since they are refusing to even look at them until they can get you into their special, federal, bio-data collection system?
This all stems from Kavanaughs ridiculous opinion that stopping people based on their looks constitutes probable cause because its no big deal to be brutalized, detained and terrorized if you are a U.S. citizen. Get used to it.
The Supreme Court apparently got their fee fees all hurt because theyre taking criticism from lower courts and the public for their enabling of Trumps disgusting dragnet. So, as right wingers all do when they get criticized, theyre lashing out like 12 year olds and staging a temper tantrum. (Who could have seen that coming from Kavanaughs confirmation hearings?) Some of their wives also give the game away.
I fully expect that this authoritarian crackdown will be upheld because of this embarrassing dynamic. The Supreme Court majority has no more seriousness, integrity or dignity than the lowliest podcaster, influencer, or Fox News propagandist. Where they once proved themselves to be partisans they are now no better than shit posters on Twitter.
Happy Hollandaise, everyone!
