"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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (4 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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

Nuts to that. Op keep doing it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week 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…

100% our inflation would have been higher and we would have been involved in 3 wars by now. - my dad

Quit bickering and go fight your dictator.

Part of that is dragging idiots who fell for the propaganda and didn't vote, so they do better next time. It's a multi-faceted issue.

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.

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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago (4 children)

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