I agree, and would suggest that these notions have been stewing in the minds of some for a while.
The rhetoric and right wing hideousness of the current head of the U.S. executive have enabled such folks to feel comfy in spewing their Middle Ages idea filth, I think.
I also think that the profound level of their delusion is protecting them from understanding what the effect of such ideas in practice would have on other people.
Meanwhile, in relation to this:
if Starmer is filled with anything other than kapok, he should tell the Carotene Ceaucescu and his minions to fuck off.
A new question to ask everyone who supports trump:
Whatâs going to stop the U.S. government from deporting you to a prison in El Salvador?
âOh, they wonât do that to me! Thatâs only for the brown people I donât like.â
âI didnât think the leopards would eat MY face.â
Youâd think theyâd at LEAST object to the complete sloppy ineptitude and total absence of even the SLIGHTEST process, much less due process, which which these abductions occur. If you have white skin but a tattoo, or once wrote a letter to the editor critical of the mayor, then youâre suspicious.
Heck I am white, hetero, cis, male, upper middle class and never had anything worse against my record than a parking ticket, but my Luxembourgish family name could be mistaken as Hispanic by some dipshit border guard. Plus I donât go to church. Veeerrry suspicious!
My similarly whitebread daughter was grilled by the US border guard upon re-entry from Canada, demanding to know what she had been doing there. She said she dropped her son off for a flight to France. âWhy would anyone go to France?â was his provocative question. âUm ⌠for a 3 month internship through his university?â
They were probably just asking questions in an adversarial manner to try to put people off-center and get them to panic about something theyâre really guilty of, I suppose ⌠but if this is indicative of the sort of rigorous police work we can expect from border authorities, no one is safe.
Iâve said it before, and Iâm saying it again - US immigration is by far the worst I have experienced when going abroad. And Iâve also heard US citizens saying the same. Immigration officers are supposed to be strict, but it is quite possible to do your job diligently without being an asshole. Actually, I wouldnât be surprised if US immigration officers are trained to be assholes during work hours.
The VP of El Salvador told Senator Van Hollen (who has traveled there to investigate the situation) that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump administration is paying them to do so.
An unauthorized Starlink transceiver has been located on the roof of the GSA.
Unauthorized private commo equipment on a government facility, surreptitious, violation of federal laws designed to protect public dataâŚ
FAFO = you get what you get, Orange voters.
From The NY Times:
The Trump administration is threatening to withhold billions of federal dollars from public schools that serve low-income children, unless they sign documents attesting that they do not use âillegal D.E.I. practices.â Those funds pay for, among other things, teachersâ aides, counselors and free meals.
Oh no! Free meals! Thatâs SoCiAlIsM!
Gasp (clutches pearls)
Not really a big surprise, butâŚ
And given the current situation in the U.S., they might just get it done.
I took a peek at that.
Itâs Mein Kampf for fundamentalist moon pies.
HR 1013 in Oklahoma declares that âChrist is King.â
Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revereâs famous midnight ride. Hereâs how the Old North Church in Boston appeared last night:
Brilliant!
Meanwhile, the Rethuglicunt/Trumpanzee war on science hots up:
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/115180
This is a blatant attempt to bully the scientific journals in question, into giving free passes to reich whinge quackery and bullshit. Wonât be long before these filth will be trying to arm-twist PNAS into accepting creationist bullshit.
From local news affiliate KFORâs story on the same subject:
âLawmakers in favor of the bill said itâs not intended to establish a religion or infringe on the rights of Oklahomans, but celebrate âvoluntary expression of belief that shaped communities across the state.â
Right. Dry that one out and one could use it as fertilizer.
