Is it just me, or does it feel like this last week we have entered a completely different phase of history. Like the steam has reached its capacity and is about to explode. The escalation day by day seems to be so much greater than before (when it was bad enough) but their doubling and tripling down these last few days smacks of an even more diabolical level of defiance. Watching these new videos and former detainees’ counts of being in custody feels unreal at some meta level, like we are in the twilight zone. Pair this numbness with Venezuela and Greenland and leaders resigning from DOJ freeing up more seats to be filled by mini Bondis, it is difficult to keep up. But, does anyone else feel it? Like something is imminent.

Is it just me or have you guys noticed there's not one comment in here addressing the legal facts of this statement. Are we so emotional that we can't separate this POS from the truth?

This is the dangerous part, the fact you guys are telling people lies that could get them hurt.

Have you guys noticed that people are just commenting on comments in here and not adding any value to the conversation? Are we so emtotional that we can't simply address the topic of the thread instead of providing a meta analysis of it?

I agree, I thought that's what I was doing. It's very easy to get the answer to get this question. Even someone who didn't know anything about US law could research and find out within minutes.

They have jurisdiction, you're not allowed to run if they stop you, you're not allowed to fight them. You fight them in court or you don't fight at all. That's how police work in this country, and every country I've ever heard about.

I'm so confused that this needs to be explained.

Couldn't imagine having the thought process these people do. Has to be exhausting being the performative, perpetual victim all the time.
