Cruelty and punching down. Torturing Christians.

Somehow American Christians majority voted for this.

The first word I'd remove is "Deported". Reporters, editors, citizens should stop using the crimebosses' lingo & framing. Mr. Abrego García is a (noncriminal) US resident. He wasn't deported. He's a first-generation American, #ABDUCTED by thugs, #TRAFFICKED by armed mercenaries, to a FOREIGN #tortureprison for profit, #slavery, #disinfo and #disruption.

The New York Times should publish this as its front page tomorrow, with malicious edits and all, and address it below.

That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.

At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration's perspective on things it's refreshing. They don't hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.

Would be shame if someone used it as evidence in a contempt hearing or impeachment trial.

I just hope they alienate enough people fast enough that we can see an actual effective check to this rogue administration. They're taking a lot of power pretty fast but also burning a lot of bridges.

Wait, so now he's MS-13, not that other one Trump keeps butchering the name of? I know they provided zero proof of either, but still...

Now they're trotting out reports they've miraculously found of him being a human trafficker.

That is actual contempt of court. Could I tell a federal judge to piss off if he gave me a court order?

Are you a billionaire?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

You could certainly try

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

How rich and well-connected are you?

The fact an official gov channel is posting this kind of childish shit is abhorrent and embarrassing. If I pulled shit like this at my job I'd be thrown out. Fucking slime.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't notice who posted it on X until I read your comment and I just.....I'm shocked I am shocked by this because I feel like I've been getting numb to the stupidity of the last ~4 months

Not just government -- the official White House account. It's... dystopian...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Nah in Dystopias the megacorps and evil governments tend to be intelligent and refined with armored limousines and some sense of style, even the glutenous autocrat steriotype tends to have a kind of weird refinement or at least be intelligent enough to not be ridiulous in public, or at least in the presence of a large number of guys with guns who can look meaningfully at anyone who might laugh.

What this is, is some weird idiocracy shit only without any of the redeeming characteristics of the people in that film.

It’s… dystopian…

We've already used up our big words in February. Supercynical "I have no words" in March.

Now, the horror getting worse every day has become the new normal coming out of the US, every day, steady as a slow machine gun.

Had I known how much worse it's going to get I'd have saved up some words during the first months.

As someone who looks illegal, I’m glad that I left on my own terms. I can’t imagine the horror this man and many like him are going through.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

You don't look illegal bro. It's not illegal to be you.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

It's illegal to be brown in the US it seems sadly.

Biden had pea soup for brains and still the executive branch was more functional than this.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know about that. The Trump team has been very sucessful this time around.

It's just that what they consider a sucess is really, really bad for the world.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I want this to be fake. This looks like some right wing troll post or some shit. If this is actually the white house, how embarrassing...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago

Whitehouse comms is basically just being run by 4chan trolls at this point. Probably where they recruited from.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

I went to check it out. It's 100% real.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago

I can’t recall any scenario where Trump and his cronies aren’t cringey and childish, so it’s business as usual really.
