Damn, how do you deport a kid with cancer and not even pause to think of you're doing the right thing
I feel like doxing ICE agents will become a thing at some point.
Happened to a few of them a week ago.
It gets a bit more complicated when that four year old is a member of tren de agagua.
We are all tren de agagua on this blessed day
Thanks, Ken. DOLT
Or La Banda de Plaza Sésamo.
Thoughts like that require both a conscience and intelligence and 47 lacks both and more.
Trump isn't the only one acting. And most of the foot soldiers were already on the job and just daydreaming about when they could really get tough. They need to be doxxed and recorded so they can be punished for their crimes one day. No "amnesty to let the nation heal" or "just doing their job". There needs to be consequences.
There will need to be another Nuremberg at the current rate of progression
They do what the average conservative everywhere does: Convince themselves that most people secretly agree with what they are doing. They truly and honestly believe over two thirds of the country want them to do that.
That's why they keep talking about conspiracies involving someone controlling elections, the government etc. because reality doesn't match up with their views. And they don't think they can be wrong, so they conclude that it has to be some shadow organization that is going against the people.
It's also why they keep talking about themselves as if they are revolutionary fighters going against a great evil.
Republicans are ghouls.
Hey now! There are plenty of nice ghouls. Gob is great! Republicans are feral ghouls.
Edit: on a side note, I used to have a perpetual kitten that chose her name. The name she chose was Mikey Wazowski
Don't forget about the nicest ghoul of them all: Harold.
It's easy - you just have to be a psychopath.
Like Trump, Musk, Vance, Homan, Noem, Rubio, etc., etc.
Well, that kid's mom had tattoos, which makes her part of a criminal gang. If the kid didn't want to be deported, they should have represented themselves in court.
Is a thing that I've legitimately heard reich-wing proto-nazis say.
Obviously because the child with cancer is just a drain on national resources and he's doing the country a favour.
/s for me, but I suspect that this is how he rationalizes it. He does love Hitler, after all.
When the time of reckoning comes they'll say "We were just following orders. We're so sorry!"
But right now they say "We're following Trump's orders! America, fuck yeah!"
And they don't think, they don't empathize. They only feel their side of the story.
Deporting the kid contributed to a statistic that they are publicly presenting as positive action, which is allowing them to cling to power. That's it. That is the banality of evil.
And that’s the same people who define themselves as pro-life…
