    Damn, how do you deport a kid with cancer and not even pause to think of you’re doing the right thing

      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.

      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.

      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.

        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

      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.

          Deleting your account if that wasn’t TORposted

          Instead of real activism I might just keep reminding ourselves, everything we do online should be considered posted under our names + emailed to Cashmoney Pawtel, subj line: “domestic terrorist 👇”

          Wonder when soft bottomfeeder commenters like me will get Gitmo’d (CECOT’d). First they’re coming for Kilmar & the Palestinian grad student, next…

          (I’m really milquetoast I just can’t imagine free speech is going to last very long even for privileged birthright citizens with birthright parents)

            Oh I fucking hope they try. I wonder how they’re gonna do anything when half their enlisted are on the “domestic terrorist” list? Not just junior enlisted, but NCOs? Officers, too. JOs, upper brass. Who’s gonna maintain the carriers? Navigate the submarines? Maintain the jets? Transport the ammo?

      It gets a bit more complicated when that four year old is a member of tren de agagua.

      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.

      It’s easy - you just have to be a psychopath.

      Like Trump, Musk, Vance, Homan, Noem, Rubio, etc., etc.

      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.
