Absolute Insanity': Right-Wing Activist Asks If Trump Will Suspend Habeas Corpus to Expel More Migrants

With the Trump administration making space in the press briefing room for right-wing podcasters and other conservative "new media" content creators, viewers of briefings since President Donald Trump took office have seen his press secretary field questions about the Ukrainian president's clothing during an Oval Office meeting, compliments about Trump's "fitness plan," and attacks on reporters who have long reported from the White House.

On Monday, the first question of the briefing was derided by one Democratic politician as "absolute insanity," as right-wing commentator and influencer Rogan O'Handley—also known by the handle "DC Draino"—was given the floor to ask whether Trump will suspend the writ of habeas corpus in order to circumvent several judges' rulings and "start shipping out" undocumented immigrants without due process.


"They've been pushing this on the right for about a week now," said Reichlin-Melnick of the push to suspend habeas corpus for undocumented immigrants. "Anyone advocating for suspending the writ of habeas corpus because they don't like due process is spitting on the legacy of those who fought and died for this country and our Constitution."

The laughably self-named “Law n’ Order!!” Republicans.

FYI: Rogan O'Handley is one of the dupes Pan Bondi invited to the White House when she made a big splash about handing out all the information the DoJ had on Jeffrey Epstein. ALL OF IT Previously public info. Other Reich-wing nutbags called out both Bondi and O'Handley for trying to pull a fast one.

Bondi then went after Kash Patel for more info. Last I heard - they still got bupkis.

Was done being spat on after being in the military during Viet Nam. I can feel the spit from the GQP daily now.
I think I am starting to hate this fucking place. About 40 percent of it. And the Media that drags them in.
Have yall seen the commercial on MSNBC praising the “Town Hall with Cuomo, Bill O’Reilly, a few other right wing ass lickers, and as they call him, “The Man Himself, President Donald J Trump”, with JFK Jr, Hogsbreath and a gaggle of other MAGA Superstars”.
On News Nation. Pretty sure the audience will all be Diner, working Class MAGA’s. They will be discussing the Well Oiled Machine (Saudi Oil) of MurKKKa with its amazing economy, the world bowing to trump, cheap groceries and the concept of a health plan.
And his approval rating of 98 percent, the likes of which the world has never seen.
What a shit show. Cuomo Crawled right up that ass.
Why the fuck is MSNBC promoting that carnival? Never mind, I know very well why.
Oh! And Stephen A Smith will be in that prestigious panel as well!!
