After nearly five hours, Bachir Atallah says he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action.

"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."

Ahh yes, the consequences of your actions, on full display to the world. Enjoy your trip to Lebanon, Mr Atallah, I'm sure nothing will go wrong since you voted for trump.

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Her and her wife probably means, that they don't.

Why do these people agree to let these fascists comb thru their phones?

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Because it’s that or be denied entry. And then what do you do?

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Wait, call a lawyer, start lawsuits. These two examples have been immigration lawyers. You cant violate confidentiality just because the govt asks.

"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said.

I really do not understand this mentality of minorities and especially muslim minorities. The turnip enacted travel bans that were blatantly racist and anti-muslim in his first term. That is just one example of his racism. Why the fuck would someone think he was the better option?

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month ago

Because many do not understand that to many wealthy white racists there’s no difference between a Saudi Royal and the black junkie on the street. As they see themselves as superior others must recognize the same and the reality is the white racists don’t see that difference.

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 14 points 1 month ago

Things did change. You now get arrested as a US citizen for crossing a border. What more change do you want?

My son was talking to a Hispanic dude recently, asked him what he thinks of MAGA Hispanic people.

"Oh, we have a word for them. Pochos."

It basically means "cultural traitor." On par with "Uncle Tom."

Bachir is a Lebanese Christian, based on the info in the article. Doesn’t exempt him from the racism, but it may explain why he thought the leopards wouldn’t eat his face.

It’s like people are just making up their own realities and then that is gospel because they think they can never be wrong. Idk, it’s fucked up

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 8 points 1 month ago

WDYM? Our Oligarchs are richer so obviously things are better, just not for us.

Let's just hope this serves as a massive wake up call and fixes his brain's ability for logical thoughts.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

By the time enough of the Leopard-voters come around to potentially make a difference, it will be far too late.

It won't though, because if he thought having Trump in office again would change things for the better then he has zero critical thinking skills.

[–] Tartufo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Where I am from we have a saying: "Hope dies last."

I know there won't be a change, I can still hope for that miracle to happen.

The idea that he's not in the top 1% of legal/political scholars is painful. And since brains are great at avoiding pain....
