Explain how your Mental gymnastics is twisting the literal text into something it’s not, and I’ll apologize. Give me a line by line of the actual text, not an interpretation. I came with facts. You’ve come with feelings.

Your entire point is based on the fact that only congress can declare war, and the act can only be invoked during war.

That point is 100% incorrect, as shown by your own links. Your own links say it can also be invoked during an invasion, and that an invasion can be declared by the President.

I haven’t come with “feelings”, I’ve come with facts - fact that you have also provided but misunderstood.

Yeah, emphasis on slowly - because that is how it has been planned. They’re slowly rolling out the changes to prevent another Windows 8 type backlash.

Ok i dont know what the deal is with this “max comment depth” error since you can clearly still go further.

Yes? And did you keep reading? How those words are specifically used during wartime or invasion which this is clearly not?

The president is the one that gets to decide if an invasion is happening, per the act.

Yes I call nazis nazis

The problem is that the people you’re calling nazis aren’t nazis. That’s where the meme comes from. That’s why being called a nazi doesn’t bother anyone anymore. That’s why actual nazis are getting more and more confident and open in their beliefs - because when everyone is called a nazi, actual nazi’s can operate out in the open and no one will listen when they’re called out for actually being a nazi.

Do you really think that there is a difference between calling someone “hitler” and “nazi”? If so, what is the difference?

again “max comment depth”:

Are you pretending that the last 2 sentences of the text on that image, which I have already pointed out, do not exist? Here, I’ll point it out again:

But the president need not wait for congress to invoke the law based on a threatened or ongoing invasion or predatory incursion

This is what the President did, and the act allows for it.

Ugh “max comment depth”…response to your NEXT comment is here:

Huh? I literally just responded to your comment:

Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS

to point out that the act is allowed to be invoked when there is an invasion or predatory incursion coming from a foreign nation. I was pointing out where your point is wrong…and you then start talking about planes full of migrants?

Love the choice of language too - “migrants” rather than what they all are, which is “illegal immigrants”. “without due process” has already been explained - the act that we’re talking about means that a different “due process” is now in play, one which they did follow.

By “everything” you mean “these 2 specific examples”, don’t you?

Am I missing something?

Yes. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you might have taken the quoted text and the link as being the same thing, when they are 2 separate things.

The X link is a post from X Global Government Affairs regarding this Turkey censorship situation. Some of the text from it:

X received an order to restrict access in Türkiye to the account of the now-detained Mayor of Istanbul. While we have followed Türkiye’s order regarding the account, we strongly disagree with the order and are challenging the order in court. In the spirit of full transparency, we are sharing the court order and our legal filing below.

The order was received from the Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority. These orders require X to block content in Türkiye that is available in the rest of the world.

Lack of compliance with these orders can lead to severe sanctions, including throttling of the entire platform in Türkiye. X complied with the court order while we challenge the order in court because we believe keeping the platform accessible in Türkiye is vital to supporting freedom of expression and access to information, particularly following natural disasters and other emergencies.

In the spirit of upholding due process, we carefully review all the requests under the local law. X has been and will continue to object to removal orders including government requests in courts to protect users when those requests do not align with principles of free expression, due process, or other local laws.

Basically the government threatened X to censor that account in Turkey or face severe punishment, like many censorship-happy governments have done lately. X complied but are taking them to court over their order, like they have done with all the other censorship-happy governments who have done the same thing.

BlueSky banned the politicians account there btw. They aren’t challenging the order in court.

His gesture is as much of a “Nazi salute” as Elon Musks. They’re either both Nazi salutes, or neither are. No other option.

Are you really arguing that the meme says “hitler” and not “nazi”, like it doesn’t mean the exact same thing? And you call me the one that “lies about the tiniest most pedantic detail”?

There is no difference between calling someone “hitler” or “nazi”. None whatsoever.

Here, is this one better?

The invasion or predatory incursion is coming from a foreign nation, El Salvador.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand how one person can be wrong about basically every single thing they point out.

Coincidentally this happened literally an hour ago:

https://www.nydailynews.com/2025/05/08/long-island-ms-13-sentence-omar-antonio-villalta-central-islip-murder/

apparently we’ve reached “max comment depth” down below so I’ll reply here:

Yes? And did you keep reading? How those words are specifically used during wartime or invasion which this is clearly not?

You mean did I keep reading the very next sentence? I sure did!

The president has inherent authority to repel these kinds of sudden attacks — an authority that necessarily implies the discretion to decide when an invasion or predatory incursion is underway.

You: “I don’t just call anyone I don’t like nazi or hitler!”

Also you: proceeds to call everyone I don’t like nazi or hitler

What exactly do you think in the bit you highlighted proves you right?

Can you read?

I’m asking myself the same thing about you based on this conversation.

It’s not around the 1:15 mark, it’s around the 2min mark. Same “salute” as Musk.

FROM YOUR OWN LINK:

But the president need not wait for Congress to invoke the law based on a threatened or ongoing invasion or predatory incursion.

It requires a declaration of war. Only Congress can do that.

It does not. As I suggested to the other person - Google it. It does not require a declaration of war:

“The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 allows the U.S. President to detain or deport individuals from enemy nations during wartime or in response to threats against the U.S.”

Furthermore, people being legally deported under that act have protections

Which of the protections you linked to do you think were not followed? Here they are from your own link:

“When an alien who becomes liable as an enemy, in the manner prescribed in section 21 of this title, is not chargeable with actual hostility, or other crime against the public safety, he shall be allowed, for the recovery, disposal, and removal of his goods and effects, and for his departure, the full time which is or shall be stipulated by any treaty then in force between the United States and the hostile nation or government of which he is a native citizen, denizen, or subject; and where no such treaty exists, or is in force, the President may ascertain and declare such reasonable time as may be consistent with the public safety, and according to the dictates of humanity and national hospitality.”

What treaty is in force between the United States and El Salvador? What does it state? If no such treaty exists, the President decides.

So, this is all illegal, and you need to read up on things you no nothing about.

The irony is just so, so delicious.

hahahaha the mental gymnastics is gold medal worthy.
