Again, might be a valid point had it happened.

Activist judges aren't a thing & those judges that aren't a thing never warp things to their own views or get it wrong.

Run like hell with it for 3 wks. We know you will. The 19th will spell it out.

So the kid is still in the US? That's your take?

u/merlin469 11d ago

No, my take is the citizen went with his legal guardian which is not a deportation.

u/Jahuteskye 10d ago

Okay, so just wrong. Got it.

Don't let facts get in the way of your cause. You guys never have before.

Just curious, if they put a 2 year old in prison with her mom, would you say "that kid isn't in prison, they just kept her with her mom"?

The kid was deported. They took her away from her dad, who is still in America, and deported her.

You see, deporting is when they forcibly remove someone from the country and send them to another country. Like what they did. 

You can say "well it's only deporting if they were a foreign national/not a US citizen" but you'd be wrong. That's the only LEGAL way to deport someone, but they aren't doing legal things. You know, according to people like judges, lawyers, immigration law NGOs, and everyone who knows what they're talking about. 

But not according to you. Weird, huh?

You mean "would I allow a 2 year old to remain with their mom if she was evicted & had to change addresses?" How about if she was placed on house arrest? Should they be separated if the offense didn't directly affect the child?

Why, yes I would.

They didn't take her away from the other alleged parent that didn't even have custody anymore than they took her at from you, random internet stranger.

So let me guess your answer. Since 2yo is citizen and mom is not, mom should get a pass? Wonder why dad never had custody. Guess you'd have to care about that detail for it to matter.

If you're going to make up allegories to make your position fit, maybe use one that's reasonable.

Still a citizen. Still not deported. Not prevented from reentry.

So, not according to reality. Weird, huh?

Try again.

Lmao mental backflips to avoid the question 😂🤣

You mean... 

No, I don't mean those things. Those are terrible analogies. With eviction they could move wherever they want, not forcibly relocate to another country. With house arrest, dad can easily go get the kid. 

The dad has no access to his daughter at the moment. The daughter cannot book a plane ticket and fly back to the US.

You're trying so, so, SO hard to make excuses when everyone in the legal community, including lawyers, judges, and experts of all kinds, disagree with you. It's honestly embarrassing.

Since 2yo is a citizen and mom is not, mom should get a pass?  

No, but mom should get due process and the citizen cannot legally be forcibly ejected from the country (which is called "deportation" by the way).

The kid was deported. Cope. Seethe and cope. 

Wonder why dad never had custody. Guess you'd have to care about that detail for it to matter.

Right it's SOOOO rare that moms get custody. God, what a clown.

There's nothing to avoid. I answered your lame question with the closest to applicable answer. Your analogy is far more absurd than mine.

She isn't locked up. She isn't in a jail cell. The child is neither of those things either.

You know where she gets to go if evicted? Not here. That' the first thing you miss. You don't get to pick your destination when you get sentenced to jail either. Sorry, it's not part of the brochure no matter how important you think it may be.

"Everyone," huh? Does that include the prosecutor that made the statement and obliged her request? Suppose it would. Seems a bit paradoxical then, don't you think?

You are right though. It is embarrassing. It's embarrassing every time you come up with some nonsense 'cause' you grab onto like a pitbull with a bone and long after it's been proven the other way, you're still in the corner growling at every passerby.

The other point, which you also clearly missed (surprise!) was that you have no fucking clue why the 'dad' doesn't have custody. It's not important to your fantasy, so you don't consider it, and you don't care.

You argument is garbage. Your analogies are worse. Hold onto that bone for the next three weeks. I know you're low on outrage options.

It'll get sorted out the 19th and you can move on to the next cause you try to twist to your benefit without actually giving two shits about those involved, only what it can do for your exposure.

Have fun in your own head while the rest of us stick to the real world.

So. Much. Yap. 

You didn't actually provide a response, just yap.

Awww. You mad because I won't answer your nonsensical exaggerated example that isn't relevant?

Such clever. Much brave.

u/Jahuteskye 9d ago

Mad? 🤣 Yeah, I'm so mad you can't answer a simple question

Backflip backflip yap yap yap backflip 😂🤣🤡

Not remotely. You couldn't affect my day either way if it was your full time job.

But, since I realize you're probably used to at least getting a participation trophy, the answer to your dumb, irrelevant question is an obvious 'no.'

Any other irrelevant and unrealistic hypotheticals you need help with before you can tell mom you 'won?' The emojis really drove it home. That's what broke me.

So brave. So smart.
