    The country disappearing its own citizens claims another country isn’t protecting its own

    How quaint

        I’ve never viewed “disappearing” as a euphemism.

          Horses for courses, I suppose.

          I feel that it’s downplaying the seriousness of what is happening to these people a bit.
          To me the statement “US Government Disappears Student” is not as worrying as “US Government Abducts Student”

            Well, the reason I don’t view it as a euphemism is because it’s typically associated with totalitarian regimes. The government “disappears” people. See here,

            to cause (someone or something) to disappear:

            a: to abduct and kill or imprison (someone, such as a political dissident) while withholding information about the person’s fate

            Her son was disappeared during Argentina’s so-called ‘Dirty War.’— Associated Press

            “Disappearing” someone carries more weight than “abducting” someone.

        Don’t kidnappers usually try to return the kidnapped in exchange for something? I think disappearing is an apt description.

        Weird to think he puts it on every morning thinking it looks good on him, just like Trump does with his terrible tan. Republicans have a thing for gaudy and tacky like no other.

      Wouldn’t it be great if Denmark asked NATO to send peacekeeping force, to protect them from the US?

      Honestly, I don’t even think the Trump regime knows whats going on. They’re kinda just doing whatever as fast as possible since they know midterms likely won’t go their way.

        Agreed. I can fully see martial law being implemented or an actual civil violence happening just as midterms are about to begin.

          According to the EO he signed on Jan 20th it might be sooner. They have 90 days to determine if we should declare a national emergency over the border. April 20th marks 90 days. It’s also Hitlers birthday and a pagan holiday.

        I don’t think they care about elections very much anymore. They just openly buy them now (combined with all the voter suppression of course). These guys are what the US is stuck with from now on unless forcibly ejected.

        I think they don’t really know what is going on because they are evil morons, they want everything done right now, without knowing exactly what “everything” is except more grifting and pleasing Putin.

      Isn’t 04/02 supposed to be some martial law day? Maybe he’s getting ready to declare that he can’t wear a suit again, until the “war” is over.
