The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to use an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants, but said they must get a court hearing before they are taken from the United States.

In a bitterly divided decision, the court said the administration must give Venezuelans who it claims are gang members "reasonable time" to go to court.

But the conservative majority said the legal challenges must take place in Texas, instead of a Washington courtroom.

In dissent, the three liberal justices said the administration has sought to avoid judicial review in this case and the court "now rewards the government for its behavior." Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined portions of the dissent.

Absolute insanity, allowing Trump to use a wartime law, it's okay though because they have to be given a chance to go to court, in fucking Texas of all places, Christ! I don't know why anyone who isn't a poster child for Hitler's perfect human being (white, blonde hair, blue eyes) would visit America right now when there's a good chance you'll end up locked up and abused.

Path of Exile 2 players bully Elon Musk during eerie airplane stream | Polygon

Musk went live on X (formerly Twitter) the afternoon of April 5 with an “airborne continuity test” of his satellite internet service Starlink, also known as playing Path of Exile 2 poorly on a private jet. Shortly after his broadcast started, the CEO and prominent political advisor began receiving private messages from other players, many of which were incredibly cutting and therefore quite hilarious.

One might assume someone like Musk who presents himself as epic gamer would know how to turn off the chat, and thus prevent these insults from interrupting his vanity project. But alas, it seems like he was okay with just ignoring folks hating on him one at a time. Some examples include:

  • Multiple players asking Musk if he needs help boosting his account
  • “YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS AND YOU WILL DIE ALONE,” from a player named ELON_IS_A_PEEDOPHILE
  • Supporters begging Musk to turn on “Do Not Disturb” mode to prevent the hate spam
  • “put on some grimes,” which, as the most divorced man alive, you know he did
  • People citing Musk’s own bizarre criticism of chess for being too “simple” and having no fog of war or technology trees
  • “YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL INSECURE AND IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY,” from a player named ELON_MUSK_IS_PATHETIC
  • Someone pretending to be Ashley St. Clair, a conservative influencer who says she is the mother of Musk’s latest child, begging him to pay child support
  • “your daughter was right,” likely referencing Musk’s estranged daughter Vivian Wilson’s recent conversation with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker
  • Multiple insults about how Musk plays the game
  • “ELON HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO LOOK THIS DUMB AND UGLY WHY IS UR TESLA COMPANY FALLING APART”

Little bit of humour in these dark times, Lol.

The stock market is recovering worldwide, traders are once again betting on Trump folding in the final hour. Yesterday showed just how desperate they are for any shred of hopium when the stock market recovered by trillions on the back off a fake news Twitter post, Lmao. On the flip side, Trump has done this multiple times before and there's not an impossible chance that Trump claims he spoke to all 195 countries and negotiated brilliant trade deals with them all and now the tariffs are all paused.

He's posting about negotiations on Truth Social right now despite claiming yesterday no negotiations until countries give him everything he wants. Can't really blame the market that much since Trump has backed down every time before but if they're wrong on this then a lot of people are going to be seriously hurt tomorrow, Lol. Guess we'll wait and see but I would not be surprised to see him claiming he got a brilliant deal with every country without actually explaining what that deal was and his fanbase clapping like seals.

He got nothing new out of the Mexico/Canada trade war, but still claimed a win and paused tariffs, so hopefully EU can get the zero-tariff agreement that they've been asking for decades now which didn't need a trade war to achieve, Lmao. USA's useless media won't question it any deeper than Trump claiming he got a win but it's not on the rest of the world to educate stupid Americans and hurt ourselves just to prevent Trump stroking his ego. But of course, Trump could still be insane and go through with it and traders are about to lose big.

The art of the deal is to mislead everyone outside of the negotiations. Indeed, I can totally see it play out the way you describe here.

Speaking of the art of the deal, Trump's book that goes by that name apparently uses his casinos in Atlantic City as a means to prove the point.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Rand Paul says his fellow Republicans come up to him in the hill and whisper, "'free trade is good. Keep going.' But they don't want to say it because of the politics of it."

Americans about to learn how much is made in China based on 80% of their shit now costing twice as much.



Markets: I bet Trump will end the tariffs

Trump: double it. 

Fox News: these are manly tariffs. 



Didn't know Trumps plan to kill TikTok was to just destroy the ability of Americans to buy smartphones...

It would be hilarious if China pulled a reverse on America and they instead were the ones to ban TiKTok for America and then forced ByteDance to put a big message on the screen for those trying to access it: "TikTok is banned in America due to Donald Trump"
