Anyone else find it ironic that he’s separated from his family while he’s pushing to separate others’ families?

Poetic justice, put it in a song

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

This timeline has some hack-ass scriptwriters.

Congrats to his wife for kicking him out...

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

I dunno. If I oversaw ICE I would be disappointed in my wife if she didn't poison my coffee.

[–] FoolishObserver@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

I was wondering if the threats came from his wife.

"The threat is coming from inside the house!!"

My biggest concern here is that he isn't suffering enough.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

May cockleburrs always be in his shoes.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago

And he's choosing to stay in charge of a Nazi paramilitary organization instead of keeping his family together.

If you want to know what someone really stands for, look what they will sacrifice in it's defense.

Good. Bad people deserve to have bad things happen to them.

[–] jared@mander.xyz 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I can't wait for the ICE terrorist trials.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

"Just following orders" is not a valid excuse.

[–] macarthur_park@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago

I mean, he didn’t have to do this and doesn’t need to keep doing it. He could quit his job any time, but he hasn’t.

The only explanation is he hates brown people more than he loves his wife.

I will say this at every opportunity: They should feel fear.

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't advocate the use of death threats - just ask any journalist whether they enjoy receiving those from MAGA cultists.

But sometimes, bad things happen to bad people, and the schadenfreude tastes so sweet.

Probably one of the farmers that are about to go bankrupt from a lack of immigrants to harvest their rotting crops.

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 4 months ago

Is this the new "I quit drinking excuse" after beating your wife?

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

I hope the worst things happen to Tom, he deserves to have his doors blown out and his family forced into the lawn in the middle of the night. He deserves to be beat up in the middle of the road while his face is pressed into the pavement, he should be forced to not have access to medical care while in custody.

Fuck this fascist cunt

[–] El_guapazo@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

In other words, she left him

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

I'm sure she's relieved

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Huh, kinda like how ICE has driven spouses from one another. Literally. Like in cars. Nifty.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago
[–] elbucho@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Good. I'm glad he's living in fear. Fuck Tom Homan.

[–] ieatpwns@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I couldn’t let my job get between my spouse and I

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 4 months ago

Good, hopefully someone follows through.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago
[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I mean I'd divorce my wife if she was sending me death threats too

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

You know, they say he pokes his lip out like that so that trump doesn't have to wait to shit in his mouth.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

The death thrests are coming from the wife, obvs.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 6 points 4 months ago

...Mr. Homan, only zealots truly believe their position after continued death threats, and holy ones are rare...

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 months ago

His wife's been sending him death threats?

Oof, that's rough buddy.

Immediately I thought that something else could have driven him from his wife, including her expression on learning what he's become. I think we could ask him that before we're sure, though.

[–] lennee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

not the ugly mug?
