I was stuck somewhere with a TV stuck on Fox News. 15 minutes of silent footage of a plane full of migrants sent back to Caracas. The camera stayed fixed on the plane where nothing was happening. Someone finally explained they were waiting to watch the migrants walk off. Cruelty porn. - ThreadSky

Lack of empathy is a key component of the MAGAs. They love this shit right up until the point where it affects them directly. Until then they are all about it.

Yep. Same reason Leni Riefenstahl Noem went to stand in front of the overcrowded gulag and gloat.
For The enjoyment of the worst people in the world who feel emboldened and thrive on other people’s pain.

She was set up as a sexy advert to make gulag/concentration camp ideology more palatable to the MAGA.
It was disgusting.

Every day FoxNews proves that being a lying sociopath and/or rapist and/or Nazi and/or quisling of lying sociopaths, rapists and Nazis is no bar from employment in television broadcasting. Nice gigs for the kind of folks you wouldn't trust to collect grocery karts at Walmart.

I've been known to either change channels, power those screens off or unplug them (hotel breakfast rooms, waiting room at Drs office, etc)..

Ha! I tried, too.

It wasn’t available at the time, but at least part of it is now. Some of you asked. https://youtu.be/BRMJzBgj6Ks?...

Meanwhile, Rump is crashing the economy AND talking about extraconstitutional third terms and where are all the red, white, and blue patriots? Watching planes for deportees to land....

Details, evidence? I'm not saying you weren't, but asking you to back up this statement

This is America. Migrant hating is a national sport.

Immortalized in “Finian‘s Rainbow,” when the character Senator Billboard Rawkins says, “My family's been having nothing but trouble with immigrants ever since they come to this country!”

It was on national TV. Yesterday mid-afternoon. It seems like a portion of it made it to YouTube. I watched about 15 seconds of this and scrubbed through a couple more minutes. Enough to recognize that this is a section of what I saw. https://youtu.be/BRMJzBgj6Ks?si=8bnsygzR5qzeAVDP
