America is scary
They want people to be scared and not fight back. We have strength in numbers and they know it.
Nice one. When is the fighting back part going to happen?
They mobilised 5 million people for a protest recently. 5th largest protest in america: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size
Nice one. When’s the actual fighting back going to happen?
Depends on your definition of fighting back.
The first word I’d remove is “Deported”. Reporters, editors, citizens should stop using the crimebosses’ lingo & framing. Mr. Abrego García is a (noncriminal) US resident. He wasn’t deported. He’s a first-generation American, #ABDUCTED by thugs, #TRAFFICKED by armed mercenaries, to a FOREIGN #tortureprison for profit, #slavery, #disinfo and #disruption.
Republicans and the Conservative Propaganda Machine has controlled the narrative in this country, political and otherwise, and your post is a perfect demonstration of it.
If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies, and promote their own message loudly and clearly, and stop letting the Conservative Propaganda Machine define EVERYTHING.
If Dems ever want to regain power, they need to learn how to counter the MAGA lies,…
Nope. This will never end under the regular rules. This is going to take violence and things on fire to stop.
I agree with you, but during the Civil War, the Dems are also going to have to have a dominant message to counter the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which is extremely mature at this point. They can’t win with just one or the other, its going to take both, and probably a whole lot more as well.
Funny you’d think most of the democratic party* would be on our side. Just look how few are speaking out now.
Imagine official government account tweeting shit like edgy teenager. How can any country of the world take America seriously?
Also they themselves admitted it was a mistake and now thry are furiously claiming he was achtually a drug warlord and he’s not coming back to USA. They aren’t fucking serious.
One potential plus of the Trump administration is that its communication style inadvertently gets people to notice about institutional media what Chomsky has been discussing for decades.
I wouldn’t want to live in a country where mastheads and public offices are on the same page.
Biden had pea soup for brains and still the executive branch was more functional than this.
I don’t know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.
It’s just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.
MS-13 member according to which judge and jury? What exactly is he charged with? As long as we’re ditching the justice system, we the people might as well make some extrajudicial convictions too.
The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.
The jury’s already come back in: it’s not boding. It’s already been bade.
When the worst case scenario is a nuclear wasteland what’s been happening is Disneyland
Is Disneyland a nuclear wasteland?
Only on peak days
Nuka-world
They’re mocking the Supreme Court
Jesus tapdancing christ
That is actual contempt of court. Could I tell a federal judge to piss off if he gave me a court order?
Yes. If you’re an oligarch in an oligarchy.
If you were powerful enough, sure. The court is only as strong as its ability to enforce a punishment.
The president is exempt from criminal prosecution for things they did as part of their duties, and if no-one is willing to impeach or impose other punishments, they can be as contemptuous as they like. How would the court stop then?
It looks like we are about to find out.
How rich and well-connected are you?
I imagine Nazi Germany would have made very similar Tweets if Twitter was around back then.
They’re throwing Trump supporters a mental gymnastics buoy they can hold onto in this horrible situation that clearly makes Trump look bad. They just want something to believe in that makes them feel better about their current political views and positions. They don’t care if it is true or not.
They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.
This is the White House response, see if you can spot the fallacy: https://xcancel.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1913358867708493982#m
Didn’t Ivanna accuse him of rape after she referred him to her doctor for a scalp reduction to make his bald spot less obvious and he got botched so he blamed her for it and then did the thing? Talk about bad people in the US some more, Trumplethinskin.
E: Ivanna not Ivanka, and scalp reduction not scalp removal
Ivanna, not Ivanka.
Yes. She fell down the stairs and died so we will never get to ask anymore questions. Seems like a lot of trumps besties end up dead
Oh interesting. I read it in the more recent book “Hiding in Plain Sight” but my memory is spotty.
Thanks for the reference.
That is obviously shopped. Is the real photo anywhere?
The idea is that every sign is a symbol: Marijuana, Smile (Sonreír), a cross which is a symbol for 1, and a skull, which in Spanish is called cráneo, a word beginning by a c, the 3rd letter of the alphabet. All together they make “MS13”. The photoshoped letters and numbers are a legend.
I have no idea if this is things gangs do. And if it’s a gang tattoo, that doesn’t mean he is a member (he may just like the gang aesthetics, people do weird things), and if he is a member, that’s not important, because guilty or not, he deserves a trial.
This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.
You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.
These are the people who guzzle down Qanon
Yeah it looks like bullshit, but who knows.
These psychos truly believe that the truth is anything they say it is.
Because their followers seem to accept everything they say as truth. It has been working.
Religion makes people believe crazy shit
The Republicans embraced Faith-Based Thinking long ago, in which people believe ANYTHING they are told, as long as it comes from an authority figure they trust, such as a politician, clergy, boss, cop, etc. That’s the perfect target for a politician (or conman) whose entire authority is built on lies.
Thats why they pandered so strongly to evangelicals, who have demonstrated their predisposition to believe to their absolute core the most outlandish fairy tales and myths written by neolithic goatherders, and tailor their entire lives around them. If they’ll believe that nonsense, they’ll believe the idiotic math of conservative economic concepts like Trickle Down, and anything else.
And that’s why Republicans have been so critical of, and hostile toward, ANY educational standards. Stupid people are easier to recruit and indoctrinate, because they lack the Critical Thinking Skills required to reject obvious propaganda, and are more receptive of an entertaining delivery over the veracity of the message.
HitlerPig even said it out loud: “I love the poorly educated.” Faith-based Thinking is why.
Gotta say, detaining a sitting US senator would be a hell of an escalation.
I think they mean Garcia isn’t coming back, not the Senator.
As is evident in damn near every Trump social media post, they’re not big on things like clarity in writing, grammar, proper use of capitalization, correct punctuation or things as simple as a fucking paragraph.
Even spelling is optional apparently.
