    The fact an official gov channel is posting this kind of childish shit is abhorrent and embarrassing. If I pulled shit like this at my job I’d be thrown out. Fucking slime.

        It’s… dystopian…

        We’ve already used up our big words in February. Supercynical “I have no words” in March.

        Now, the horror getting worse every day has become the new normal coming out of the US, every day, steady as a slow machine gun.

        Had I known how much worse it’s going to get I’d have saved up some words during the first months.

      I don’t know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It’s not really a job. It’s a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

      This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America’s economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can’t talk about those things openly to the people because he’d have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?

      He can do the same thing he’s been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who’s the minority we’re hating today? Who’s the person of color we’re going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.

      It doesn’t matter what else he’s doing. He’s fighting DEI. He’s putting black people and women in their place. He’s making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview. Its why they supported him to begin with. Economy this, nationalism that, but down to the line it was all about cruelty.

      Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn’t even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they’d all cheer.

    Let’s do some fact checking.

    THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.

    Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had “no criminal background” and there’s been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.

    And while I’m not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn’t consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.

    You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

    They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

          The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”. The photoshoped letters and numbers are a legend.

          I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it’s a gang tattoo, that doesn’t mean he is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and if he is a member, that’s not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.

            This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.

            You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.

    That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.

    At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration’s perspective on things it’s refreshing. They don’t hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.

      Would be shame if someone used it as evidence in a contempt hearing or impeachment trial.

          I think that judges have had enough. Boasberg of DDC has already released a criminal contempt order and by the looks of it, Xinis of Maryland district is also getting pretty pissed.

    So…

    When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?

    He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn’t even realize that he’s crossed the line

      I’m remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

      Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.
