compassionate conservatism was always kind of bullshit but i'd take it any day over Trumpism. just compare what Bush said about immigrants to shit like this
There is nothing that rocks Stephen Miller’s world more than discussing immigrants being tortured and persecuted. He works himself up to a twitching froth just knowing his lifelong vision of white nationalism is being carried out.
I am looking forward to UN sanctions… and I wouldn’t mind handing this whole administration over for crimes against humanity… and I don’t care if we don’t recognize The Hague… for this I think we should!
Biden is NOT supposed to direct the AG. But the TOP COP should have started at the top and bottom. As soon as 1 person plead guilty but said Donald Trump told me to, he should have been brought up on charges.
Must be my follow the law. I still follow the rules. Like after a court found him guilty of treason for working with Russia says the evidence of Manafort and Don Jr meeting. Hacking the Dem guy, that exposed everyone. Firing squads and such. To deter anyone from doing it again. Here we sit
Exactly this. It makes me so ashamed of our party. I'm over here ready to punch a mother fucker and Chuck Schumer and so many other Dems are busy playing nice and giving away whatever leverage we do have. Fucking infuriating.
And stop playing by the rules. This regime is counting on that.
The courts? Ha!
The senate and house vote? Haha!
The emails, letters, phone calls to the WH and our rep?!HahaHA!
Something bold, different, something that they’re incapable of thinking of must be done.
I was wonderin...Is the severity of Salvadoran prison a desensitizing ploy? A way to get Trump's pals' private prisons seen as 'more legal, less lethal' alts that we may not have been ok with...prior to the whole KristiRolexAbuGhraib-y video, administrative errors by, and rulings against, the Admin?
To be clear, you know about El Salvador because the WH doesn’t care what you think of it. It’s using it as an example, not just for Americans, but everyone, and if was intended to desensitize, it failed. At least, on me. My city and Detroit are bonded. It’s a very special relationship 1/
I don’t know how often I’ve crossed the border in the past 20 years. I always have my passport on me because I don’t always know if I’ll go because of work.
I had a ticket for opening day at comerica, didn’t go.
Why?
El Salvador.
I can not risk it. 2/
a bunch of these EOs are miller, 100%. Also... idk if anyone else thinks this but Stephen Miller looks like a guy whose version of "makes love" is making a woman lie in a tub full of ice and staying perfectly motionless 🦎
I dearly hope so. Miller, Homan, Noem, Bondi, RFK Jr, Hegseth and so on and so forth. They all need to be prosecuted and convicted for crimes against humanity.
I was very young but I remember men protesting with signs that said "I Am a Man." Yes they were and so are these men but more importantly they all are human beings.
I'm worried that American allergy to holding the powerful to account won't be overcome unless things get really bad. Which means we'll probably just kick this can down the road for another 4-8 years if Dems take power again.
Let me introduce you to a backward monarchy known as the United States of America. None of these people will be prosecuted for anything. They'll get blanket pardons & they know it
It’s sooo important that these people start to think the end game is not what they think - power and money - that in fact they may go to jail. The quicker they feel that, the quicker the edifice crumbles.
We will #BoycottRepublicans going forward. VOTE THEM OUT. Every single one. In every state.
Let them know they’ve done enough damage. From firing essential workers to destroying our 401K’s…dismantling the Dept of Education to old diseases making a comeback…El Salvador imprisonment. #BoycottGOP
When they figure this out then we start shipping out the white supremacy gangs, Nazi gangs, anti life gangs( these are the people taking away our Medicaid, Medicare, USAID.. aka GOP..turn the tables
The whole world sees this as a terrorist regime. Look at the plummeting tourist numbers. It is only going to get worse. Why can’t republican supporters see this? Decades to rebuild. Americans need to start now!
Miller is a kindred spirit to camp guards and slavers. Knowingly rendering innocent people to torture camp in El Salvador is a crime against each and a crime against humanity. Prison for the lawless would have a restorative effect here and abroad.
I would not trust the U.S. to prosecute Miller. We didn’t prosecute the coup plotters, why would anyone think we’d go after human rights abusers? This needs to be done in the International Court.
What do you call Nazis that are Jewish? It sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, but it's not. What else would you call Miller and Bibi and their ilk? I just don't understand why.
As much as it sounds like trump is a creep, I've spent enough time in authoritarian church environments to know that for someone in Trump's position it doesn't really matter what his personal conduct or vibe is like.
True believers tend to interact more with their idea of what their leader is like.
Let me learn ya about White Conservative 'Murica and what they did to my great-grandparents in the Philippines (tortured and murdered members of my mother's family), while enjoying themselves with the family back home on weekends like this:
Thinking of that Trump voter with the t shirt with arrows pointing to her crotch with the words “he can grab me by the p*ssy anytime” and I just don’t know
Even if we don't, one day, that man's not gonna have any kind of special protection and he will forever have to look over his shoulder. Imagine having to live that kind of life.
Many people have no idea that Jews under the Nazi regime were stripped of their citizenship. If there's 1 thing this administration does well, it's coming up with relatively reasonable *sounding* terms for violating constitutional and human rights. Their propaganda is Goebbels-level. Thanks, Newt!
Because he's so blatant about his disregard for international law and the constitution because he thinks he's untouchable. He's only untouchable in the tenuous situation where no one stands up to the executive branch. That will change. The pride always leads the fall.
Miller, Vought, etc...are all apparently "Trump interpreters" - they derive power from the fact that Trump is incomprehensible to his own staff & they use this to inject their precise vision into whatever illegal thing is done.
you know what i learned last night from the special features of "The U.S. Marshals" is that the marshals originally had charge of stopping the slave trade but ran into a problem because they had to dispose of all the slaves they confiscated, had nowhere to put them, so they had to sell them. crazy!
I thought this admin. was trying to cut costs? What is this costing the American taxpayers? I think they want to make these immigrants into slaves to work in their "factories". It's all about making $$ for the 1%.
Restoration of the republic is going to require application of the rule of law to the wealthy and powerful. If it doesn't happen, we're just rearranging the furniture on the Titanic.
Certainly SM will be sued in a civil lawsuit at some point, and possibly be charged for the crime of negligent homicide if any one of the men illegally deported to El Salvador dies in custody.
I object to the “lord willing” part. These are collective crimes orchestrated/perpetrated by a democratically elected government not signatory to the ICC.
We, from colonial origins, claiming a modern democracy, must stop being complicit and #EndGenocideApartheidEugenics before we can’t
All the issues being discussed on the periphery will not solve the primary problem, we have a white nationalist in charge of US policy/immigration. I say this everyday. US media has failed, they are unwilling to address the obvious.
Seriously, we MUST all work together to overthrow this regime. Clearly they will not obey the laws or follow the constitution, so they must be removed by us, using whatever means available.
I know normophiles will hate this, but... actually, that's reason enough to do it. Democrats should campaign on shipping people to the Hague for trial, starting with Trump and working down to ICE agents.
And, after they boot all the naturalized citizens they’ll come after those of us on the left who still believe in equality, civil rights and the rule of law.
When I see these calls for mass deportation, I think back to the legendary story of the indigenous Americans who helped European colonists survive their first winters in North America. Imagine if those indigenous peoples had forced the early colonists back onto their ships. Mass deportation, Shame!🇺🇸
I certainly hope we can. Miller is a dangerous fanatic. Per the article in Rolling Stone, I think that the Trump administration and Miller in particular are very interested in trying to figure out how to deport any citizen whether naturalized or not. People like me are definitely on that list.
And yet he got married while tRump was president on the first go around and AFTER architecting the Muslim ban
His wife has now had 3 kids in with him in the last 4 years🤮
It's like if Goebbels and Irma Grese were reincarnated, married, Jewish yet just as evil 😬
My fear in 2029 some will escape the 🇺🇸 w/help to some country w/o extradition & there will be nothing to be done. They’re cowards & bullies & will run like their drawers on gasoline fueled 🔥 then stay & face any charges. Who will be left is Vance, Rubio, Musk, other lap 🐕 to face the tar & feathers
The Democrats need to start planning now for 2029 (I’m optimistic) prosecutions of all the felon’s enablers, no delay-flood the zone. Any Dem AG will need to agree to swiftly prosecute beginning day one.
Do this guy wants to kill people bit 90% of the people he said were criminals were truely honest people with proof of documents without any crimes!
So yes that’s what land barons with slaves did as well. He fucked up literally everything he thinks about, touches or has his retards I unelected touch.
Please please stopusing word "gulags" it's their word of choice. Use foreign detention centers or prisons. Also, use refugees and not illegals or immigrants, use Exodus instead of Caravans. Their words are meant to conjour up terrorists, gypsies, or hoodlums. Words have meaning&bring up feelings.
It is going to be so important in the next sane administration to hold everyone accountable and publicly punish those responsible. We cannot repeat the mistakes of reconstruction, Nixon, GWB. Forgiveness is for the faithful, not for nations.
How about the old penal colony of Devil's Island? In solitary, with his cell shut off from the sun (watch the movie PAPILLON to get a good look at the conditions. Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman).
On second thought, that might be way too good for him. 😠😠😠
In the meantime, senior Democrats should make clear to all concerned that anyone involved in carrying out such a scheme will suffer dire consequences once they return to power.
Comments
Time is not on his side.
Wake the f@ck up America! 🤦♂️
- yes he was
Same sentence.
Dems are notorious for turn the other cheek and carry on within the same corruption.
Garland is proof of that.
So many criminal Republicans should have been pursued for sedition…. but nothin from Garland. They all escaped justice.
By design.
No more Mr Nice Guy, Democrats!
But it was up to him n Biden to protect our people, our nation, our names as Americans.
Trump was/is a domestic enemy and should have been dealt like one.
Here we are under a fascist dictatorship that is destroying rule of law.
If I had to guess I would bet you are exactly right though.
But he may have been doing his job -- as a member of the rethuglicans, Garland was doing a job on the American people, not for them.
If we ever have a reconning, these people should face a public lashing “like no other”
Cowards die a 1000 deaths the brave only ONE.
Think about it; what does Garland n Biden have in common with maga?
White straight Christian/religious men that see their power waning. They were for democracy as long as they held the majority.
The courts? Ha!
The senate and house vote? Haha!
The emails, letters, phone calls to the WH and our rep?!HahaHA!

I have family there so the math will be different each time, but opening day? Nope.
If i didn't live here, I wouldn't come here rn!
(PS- sorry our cochon in chief screwed up your opening day-- also THE WORLD!)
That’s me, DC born 1946.

* a concept almost exclusively operative during Democratic administrations
Miller’s Jewishness would be ironic if everything else weren’t ironic (speaking as a Jew myself).
I guess it depends on one’s antecedents to some extent as to how one sees it.
True believers tend to interact more with their idea of what their leader is like.
Where have we seen that before?
https://www.lbi.org/1938projekt/detail/denaturalized/
Oh you are right jamelle, you are right.
I hadn't thought of it that way.
Does that include Melania?
I would not care.
I’m fascinated that the democrats haven’t tried to attack him more
More than Elon he’s driving this presidency
And he’s dumb as a brick too— just a nakedly racist scumbag

“THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM”
Under international law, crimes against humanity, along with war crimes and genocide, have no statute of limitations
We, from colonial origins, claiming a modern democracy, must stop being complicit and #EndGenocideApartheidEugenics before we can’t
Do into others as you would have them do unto you?
I guess he wants to go, too.
And one Donald J. Trump.
As a mother of one, I swear to you...Stephen Miller specifically will pay for what he has done to me and mine.
Sincerely,
Erma.
Look at Miller. Positional authority is the ONLY way he’d have dominion over anyone.
Men laugh at him, women won’t talk to him. It’s the story of MAGA.
His wife has now had 3 kids in with him in the last 4 years🤮
It's like if Goebbels and Irma Grese were reincarnated, married, Jewish yet just as evil 😬
like these people disappearing from the streets,
doesn't lift the public up enough to SQUASH the corrupt, authoritarian federal government then it's game over.
RAISE UP by the millions!
Just keepin' track
The world would likely be delighted to help.
He’s truly evil, hate filled, and begging for an intervention.
So yes that’s what land barons with slaves did as well. He fucked up literally everything he thinks about, touches or has his retards I unelected touch.
Hands in either Impeachment.
Send him to another country’s prison and then say Oops sorry our bad, there’s nothing we can do to get him back.
On second thought, that might be way too good for him. 😠😠😠
One way.
They say that history does not repeat itself.
Bull.
So they're going to Argentina in jets instead of boats.
Close enough.
