Technology implies belligerence.

Technology is a war we wage against nature; technology is a means of asserting ourselves and usurping nature's rule, which is necessarily a violent act.

He won the popular vote. Step foot outside an urban area and you'll see that his popular support isn't just an illusion.

There's a floor of around 38% of Americans who are going to hold that line to the death. They've lost friends, family, and businesses over their stance already and haven't budged. This has been going on for ten years now. They're in it til the end.

I have no idea why. But I'm sure trump's DOJ will be releasing new guidelines shortly that back up what their boss is saying, sans any provable evidence.

Sometimes you gotta get creative.

It's his hand. You can find other angles of it in the same article. It seems to me that the ms-13 edited onto his digits is meant to be a translation of the symbology of his tattoos:

Marijuana leaf = M

Smiley face = S

Cross = 1

Skull = 3

Is that an accurate representation of what his tattoos mean? I have no idea, I'm not an expert on gang symbology. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The presence of a gang tattoo is something that could be submitted as evidence in court - which is a right the accused was never afforded.

What I am sure of, is that trump intentionally presented this information in such a vague manner so as to muddy the waters so he can come back later and claim his claims were misrepresented by the "lying, dishonest media" - which is itself dishonest.

It's an inkblot test. His detractors will take the claim at face value, and his supporters will dig in and claim we're stupid for not immediately taking his claims as gospel. He doesn't care if his claims hold up in court. He only cares about the court of public opinion, and right now, he's defining that conversation.

Yeah turns out speech here isn't so free when your opinions run counter to what the mods deem politically correct.

Which is the whole point of freedom of speech.
