"I thought reading the Times wld kp me well informed on the 2024 election, but after reading dzns of stories on Biden's age and Trump's sharks and batteries, I was sure Jill Stein was the best candidate. Now I live in an alleyway with a comfort rat but still use the Times to pee on. Thx, @nytimes!"

What’s this “detained” crap? Was she arrested, imprisoned, jailed, kidnapped, held without bail, locked up, incarcerated, or what? Detained is just making her late. What the hell is with mass-media and their polite words for scum?

They're going after the easy ones. South Boston is home to a large undocumented community of Irish citizens. But ICE knows if they go into those neighborhoods, they'll never come out again.

No not CAROL! He never said CAROL would be deported!

It's too bad no one warned them. Oh wait

"We were perfectly fine with OTHER families getting ripped apart, but we LIKE Carol."

Classic conservative move. No default empathy, no caring until it personally affects them, and then they want a carve-out. Gay people shouldn’t get married, unless it’s my son Charlie, of course. He’s one of the good ones. No abortions! Unless it’s our Emma, because *she* needs to focus on school.

the rob portman piece.
(if not for his gay son, he would have been mc cain's vp pick in 2008.)

They all said they still support what he's doing, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't think it would happen to me

He was supposed to hurt other people 😡

Sigh.

The never-ending nyt safari to find, locate and communicate with the elusive, shy and remorseful trump voter in their natural habitat.

They voted for the cruelty yet somehow thought they would be the exception.

If the town of Kennett dies, it is their own fault.

capemaydave.bsky.social•5 days ago

so it seems as if a great many people voted for Trump because they were not self-identifying correctly

irony runs deep

Did you catch the line in the article…”in an increasingly red America…”?
Normalizing again, NYT?

snapspikazo.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yup, saw that.

benalbert.bsky.social•5 days ago

But they will vote for him again

newspizza.bsky.social•5 days ago

Gee, almost like their belief systems can’t withstand consistent application.

There is a common misconception among such voters that the authorities will understand that Carol is "one of the good ones" and will leave her alone. Of course, the authorities don't know Carol, don't care to know Carol, and sweep her up regardless.

I heard Trump is selling pardons for any purchase of 1 million or more of his crypto meme. 🤷‍♂️

"No one voted to deport moms!" Except that yes, you all did, and if you didn't know that was what you were voting for, then maybe you should have fucking paid attention

desarrayed.bsky.social•5 days ago

"We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs,"

I guess you should have asked some questions, then

These people really put faces to the "You know what they say about assuming..." idiom

Even their pearl-clutching headline is shit: it implies they're no longer behind Trump after her detention. But they clearly still are.

“Many people in Kennett expressed outrage that a hardworking mother had spent the past month jailed by immigration authorities.”

It’s funny but just so infuriating that these people are so incredibly dumb.
