"We proactively deliver on President Trump’s mandate to secure the homeland," spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin wrote.

Nazi vibes.

Never forget that the President is of pure German ancestry. It's in his DNA.

SO glad that we don’t have Killer Kamala tho! Woulda been way worse, right guys?

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 days ago (1 children)

On the other hand, if Kamala had won there would be people dying in Gaza right now. Oh, wait...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 days ago

people dying in Gaza

Now Iranians too, both in the US and in Iran

Can you cut this shit out already? It's bad enough that you're using the suffering of living, breathing people to make a point, but if you have to then can you not at least make a point that's not tired, unproductive and fucking stupid?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

We're going to rub this shit in your face until the US has universal health care. Your guy is the worst thing that has happened to the US in recent history, get over it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Possibly in all of history.

I was going to argue that the Trail of Tears was probably worse, but then I had to pause because he was almost definitely inspired by it (or at least his handlers were). So you got me there

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

First thing that occurred to me:

Deaths from trail of Tears: 6,000-8,000

Deaths from first Covid-19 pandemic in the United States between March and June 2020: 125,000

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago

Numbers surely don't tell the whole story. What happened to the Cherokee was a dramatic loss for many reasons, and basically amounted to genocide or ethnic cleansing. That's very much where the USA is (or is headed) right now, too. Loss of life due to covid was a tragedy, but it has nothing on the evil that was the Trail of Tears.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He is certainly not "my" guy, but that doesn't make "so glad we don't have Harris amirite???" any less callous or less trite.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You’re misusing both “callous” and “trite” here.

Nothing in those comments is emotionally indifferent to suffering—callous would be mocking the deaths in Gaza or treating them as irrelevant. That’s not what’s happening. What’s happening is that people are pointing out the bitter irony of having been told Kamala would somehow be worse than Trump, only to end up with this gestures around broadly at the country. That’s not callous—that’s commentary. And it lands because people still care, and many of us don’t plan to stop caring.

As for trite, no. Trite implies the idea is overused and devoid of meaning. But if people keep bringing it up, that’s probably because the damage keeps compounding and the folks who helped enable it (Read: people like you) still haven’t taken any accountability. The criticism isn’t tired—it’s still relevant. If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe ask why. Or don’t, but at least shut up with your whinging.

Nobody’s “rubbing it in your face.” They’re just not letting you memory-hole the consequences of your own choices. That’s not cruelty—that’s accountability; something else we are sorely lacking in our government right now, thanks to idiots who abstained from voting for ’moral’ reasons.

Nuts to that. Op keep doing it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

No one on this point is using living breathing people to make a point. They are mentioning the facts to make a point.

Meanwhile leading up to the election a never ending stream of folks saying KaMaLa = GeNoCiDe JoE….

Those folks were abusing the suffering of living and breathing people to make a point… a point that got us here with the trump admin… killing and making people suffer…

So when are you flying to Palestine to help them?

Do you think Gaza is the only place in the world where innocent civilians are dying in some conflict, it's not, but you aren't gonna write free XYZ country in your dating profile bio cause that's not trendy with white people right now.

Who's being more disrespectful, the people who are concerned with the health and democratic saftey of their own country or the ones using some conflict in a far off place as a substitute for personality and to virtue signal on social media as if slogans lime BLM and free Palestine do anything to help these groups of people.

Focus on your own shit, people will kill and be killed till our species goes extinct. That's not a reason to ruin your own country by fucking with the voting process leaving an easy path for fascists to take control of the government.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are you fucking kidding me? Israel is armed, funded and protected by America, by your elected officials, using your tax money. Don't think that by saying "oh, but it's another country," you can get away from this responsibility. What next? Were the Nicaraguan death squads just another group in South America? It cannot be understated just how morally reprehensible what you just said is. The misery of hundreds of millions of people today was caused by American meddling and you're completely sweeping that under the rug. Shame on you.

Who's being more disrespectful, the people who are concerned with the health and democratic saftey of their own country or the ones using some conflict in a far off place as a substitute for personality and to virtue signal on social media as if slogans lime BLM and free Palestine do anything to help these groups of people.

Don't project your own lack of principles on me, but also: absolutely the former. At least have the honesty to confront the fact that you don't care if your government keeps supporting genocide.

Motherfucker we are TRYING.

Some of you are. Another portion is in poverty, another is apathetic, and another is straight up cheering him along.

Considering what's happening to the rule of law, the first group is far too small.

We're counting on you, wishing you godspeed from the provinces.

Yeah we'd be in such a great place if we elected the people who just sided with Republicans against impeaching Trump. They really have our best interests at heart.

Kashanian came to the United States in 1978 on a student visa and eventually applied for asylum, but her claim was denied. Federal officials granted her a reprieve to stay in the country provided she follow the law and appear at regular immigration appointments. Family members say Kashanian never missed one of those appointments and has never been accused of a crime.

Might as well just deport everyone except the native Americans at this point.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They were floating the idea earlier this year of finding a way to strip indigenous people of their citizenship.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago

SCROTUS recently decided that the president has the power to deport people to countries they have no connection to, so what's to stop them from finishing the Trail of Tears?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They’re already being harassed by ICE just for being brown. I’m sure their pea brains can’t comprehend a brown person that’s full-blooded American

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago

More American than any of the white people on the continent, that's for sure.

Stephen Miller and Tom Homan won't be happy until the country is purged of good family people and filled with jackbooted state thugs and white supremacists.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I am of the opinion that Steven Miller will never be happy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Fascists require a social hierarchy that is strictly enforced by force. Even if they did purge the US of all "undesirables", the bootlickers would be snapping at each other's throats over some other characteristic.
