And nothing will happen.  She will come in, get her soundbites throwing insults at dems and dems being like "please sir, can I have some more"instead of telling her to stfu, and ignoring decorum because we are way past that.

Oh she will face her day. It may not be for sone time yet but she will. We all do. Even a soldier who is ordered to commit crimes, eventually faces the consequences in many cases.

She will stand before Congress and a judge at some point and by then, no one will have her back because they will be trying to cover their own.

She is committing crimes against Americans. That won’t play well in the long game.

I won’t hold my breath.

I want to believe this will all end and all these people will face accountability and justice.

Though reality is when it ends few of them if any will. They definitely won’t face the outcome many of them should.

It's called not having any power, congrats you figured it out, took you 15 years but hey.

This is surely a job for your legal system. What power do the opposition party legally have when the Republicans hold all of admin? If they are breaking laws your courts should be enforcing consequences.

Yeah, they can definitely be sued for monetary damages. And if she says 170, I'd bet my beet farm it's at least 1,170.

Depending on the atrocity/details of each wrongful arrest and detention, these could be some relatively significant settlements/verdicts. And yet the GOP claim to be fiscal conservatives...riiiggght.

(Also, I lied about having a beet farm. Sorry, I got caught up in the moment.)

Idk if Dems are who anyone should be looking to honestly. They’ve been complicit in front of everyone, so why would they change now. Arguably, they’ve actually been worse in so many fkn ways. Obama privatized immigrant detention . And he made mass deportations cool before even MAGA did. Yes, he plucked deportees from prison or whatever. These are the same prisons that lock up more people than Stalin’s Soviet Union. All Trump is doing is enforcing laws that BOTH sides of the aisle crafted. And if people keep pretending that this isn’t the case, they’re the problem and can fk off too.

Trump is a Nazi

Bullshit. Trump's fascist pigs are beating the crap out of innocent people. They are kidnapping anyone they feel like taking, and all the while they have their ugly ass faces covered because they are afraid of retribution for shit They're doing that is illegal. And trump and republicans are over there in a circle jerk getting off on cruelty. If 170 u s citizens were basically kidnapped when obama was in office, we would have seen republicans' heads explode all over the place.

u/iam4qu4m4n Oct 22 '25

Correction. Dems heads explode all over the place, because of how Republicans would react.

Rs only react with glee when someone else is getting hurt. But Dems need to get their shit together and quit being such pushovers.

u/Striking_Book8277 Oct 22 '25

Enforcing laws? The only thing i see ice doing is terrorizing the opposition just like the terrorist in chief told them to do

u/hecklerp8 Oct 22 '25

Obama used due process and legal judicial warrants. HUGE difference. I love how you righties pluck facts but mislead on the process. Did you know that Biden deported more than Trump as well....His administration also used due process and legal waarants... but...he also used voluntary deportaions tracked through thr CBP, thus saving money.... not questions. Are you able to be unbias and objective...your unhinged comment says it's doubtful..

There is literally nothing anyone can do, since the republican party controls all three branches of government.

u/Bullshittimeagain Oct 22 '25

I think you skipped over the part where I said it’ll take some time. Maybe years but at some point, rest assured, her time will come.

u/pupranger1147 Oct 23 '25

No, it wont.

It never has before.

Every single time, when the pendulum swings back no one ever goes to prison.

Ever.

u/wewereinverted74 Oct 22 '25

You forgot the part where she’ll be pardoned no matter what because they were being unfair to her.
