Reflections From a Murky Pond

Given the dogma of Democrats – and recent attempts to tar the longstanding lore of Middle Earth – this does seem to sum up the LOTR dreams of our domestic and racial enemies.

The above is more true than not. It’s completely true in the context of any objective, positive messaging or agenda, though less so if one includes negative messaging. So, no leader, only negative messaging, and no firm agenda—that’s what the post-2016 Democrats have to offer America.

But, they do have a message, negative though it may be. The Dems are quite vociferous and strident about sending their message that President Trump is a malevolent, authoritarian, fascist, would-be dictator who is an existential threat to democracy, and every single one of the more than 77 million Americans who voted for him are Nazis.

But this is as the Democrats have always been within living memory, at least upon the national/federal stage. They’ve never had firm leadership. They’ve never had a message beyond Republicans are dangerous and evil, and they’ve never had a solid agenda due to virulently conflicting priorities.

Democrats are all up in arms over criminal illegals being deported without “Due Process.” However, it’s quite easily arguable under jurisprudence that no illegal alien is due Due Process when and if the “punishment” is deportation. Deportation is neither, legally speaking, a civil nor a criminal punishment. It is simply removing them from where they’re not entitled to be and returning them to the proper place.

No Punishment, No Due Process

Under 8 U.S. Code § 1325, these invaders could be fined up to $250 or imprisoned not more than 6 months, or both, and, for a subsequent commission of any such offense, be fined up to $500, or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. Both the fines and imprisonment, however, are provided for under Title 18, which is the overarching Crimes and Criminal Procedures statute in US law. That would invoke the constitutional requirement for Due Process. However, simple deportation is arguably an “intervention” that precludes Title 18 completely and, therefore, is not subject to Due Process, it not legally being a civil or criminal proceeding.

So yes! Illegal Aliens should be given the process they’re actually due and not one jot or iota more. 😉

Is this the hill the Dems have built to die upon? It sure seems that way, given their behavior, increasing violent rhetoric, and apparent plans for the next elections. Truth be told, though, I don’t care which hill they die upon as long as they die root and branch.

It seems to me that we, the People are fast approaching the point where, for the sake of our nation, we must send the Democrats to the fate of Amalek.

Yes, MS-13 is a real and serious problem. However, DeMS-13 is worse. I truly believe that we need to spend more effort eliminating them, then the foreign gangs and cartels that they are affiliated with. 😉

Fact-Check/Caveat: AOC is far more likely to be part of-, owned by- or tied to Ñetas as opposed to MS-13. 😆
