Let's say you're a US citizen and ICE grabs you off the street and puts you on a plane to Mongolia. Wouldn't you ask the flight attendant if the inflight meal will include some of that delicious barbecue you've heard about?

Okay, but what if, as the administration has said they want to do, they put you in a prison in El-Salvador that doesn't let you contact anyone, including the embassy? How fucking stupid is this guy?

If someone was trying to stab me to death I would simply tell them "actually that's illegal"

Man, this idiot. To call him a gutter trash racist would be an insult to both gutters and trash.

Oxymoron alert

I don’t mean this to be rude, but calling that guy an “intellectual” is giving him far too much credit.

For the record, he said, "conservative intellectual," which isn't the same thing as a standard intellectual.

jmeijers.bsky.social•22 days ago

That’s an insult to the two current conservative intellectuals.

So many similarities to Russian, North Korean and Chinese approaches….

I'm kinda thinking this is sarcasm or a joke. I don't have X so I can't see his other post.

'Conservative intellectual' is an oxymoron. 😀

Wow, he solved the problem! All prisoners get out to go to a customer service desk.

Privilege is a hell of a drug.

They've never had an issue that cannot be solved by talking to the manager, and the manager usually listens.

Next to “online privacy,” conservative intellectual is my favorite oxymoron.

Politely letting the ICE agent know they made a mistake as the butt of his rifle caves in my front teeth

That's when you reach deep into Daddy's Rolodex and find a connection who will help you out.

Yes, and should you be dropped off in some foreign country good luck finding an embassy or consulate. They just announced that they are closing a couple dozen of them as part of their efforts to be more efficient.
