Seems like CBP doing this is a violation of the ORR injunction? Or maybe the Trump admin just assumes SCOTUS will rule for them any day now so why not just go ahead and violate the injunction? 🤷‍♀️

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Ep. 18: September to Remember
October 6 • S1 E18 • 44 min
Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

It seems like the US just effectively cancelled everyone’s passports who has an X gender marker on them (unless I’m reading this wrong).

Reality is whatever they say it is if there’s no judge and jury to evaluate the evidence.

You can laugh at Pam Bondi claiming she has arrested the “girlfriend of the founder of Antifa.”

And if Bondi had to conduct a trial, she’d be laughed out of court.

But it doesn’t matter that she’s chasing made up fairy tales.

If the admin suspends habeas corpus, there is no trial.

This trend went on for hundreds of years - targeting tens of thousands of innocent people (mainly women) - sending thousands of women to be tortured and killed by hanging, drowning, and burning.

Denying women habeas corpus was much more successful. This is how Kramer & his followers got crazy evidence from their targets like “I fucked the devil.”

What came next was a horror show of witchcraft trials. Kramer advised other misogynistic incels to round up (mainly) women & torture them before giving them a witchcraft trial.

“In 1484 clergyman Heinrich Kramer made one of the first attempts at prosecuting alleged witches… It was not a success: he was expelled from the city of Innsbruck and dismissed by the local bishop as "senile and crazy"… writing the book was Kramer's act of self-justification and revenge.”

The incel witch inquisitor, Heinrich Kramer then wrote a book called “Malleus Maleficarum” which laid the groundwork for how to prosecute witches throughout Europe. His important rule: deny habeas corpus - no right to a trial. Torture first.

In 1485, an old-school incel put a hot smart lady named Helena Scheuberin on trial for witchcraft. Helena lawyered up, won the trial, and the locals laughed the smarmy inquisitor out of town

The lesson he took from that was “take away the right to a trial if you’re gonna accuse people of nonsense”

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

This is smart because famously “antifa” is a very hierarchical organization with a president who calls all the shots from top to bottom. It is NOT just two randos wearing dinosaur suits who show up to dance in the streets to EDM.
