    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.

        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.

          Actually, dystopia is basically a ‘bad’ (dys-) ‘place’ (-topia). So the common view of what a dystopia looks like is not the only way it can look. Being ruled by dumb toddlers that break everything in their way is a very different dystopia than one with evil megacorps but it is still quite dystopian to me.

      I don’t know how to express this feeling I have properly so bear with me. I kinda hate the reference of political office as a job. It’s not really a job. It’s a position of societal power. One that should come with, frankly, deadly consequences when people in that position of power start talking like this. This is a branch of the government saying fuck the courts and their decision. There should be blood over that. Equating it to a job just rubs me wrong. Not to shit on you, I have no problem with what you said, I agree with it even. Just expressing general thoughts

      You’re not alone. I see this shit and I say aloud “woww” and pass my phone to my partner. I’ve never seen such unhinged shit from the official white house communications team.

      This is stuff any self-respecting 15yo would be embarrassed to post. I know they have been posting other cringey memes recently too. Seems like the person managing the account came straight from 4chan.

        Oh dear fuck i looked at it and they made a covid.gov site that claims that covid originated from lab in Wuhan and was leaked. That fringe conspiracy now being peddled by the white house.

          That’s actually not unlikely, but the way china handles critical information we will never be sure.

          I imagine they also have other false claims on there that are much worse though.

            It also enables a few of the older features, like being able to read replies to a Tweet, now that the website formerly known as Twitter bars it if you’re not logged in.

    Let’s do some fact checking.

    THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.

    Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had “no criminal background” and there’s been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.

    And while I’m not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn’t consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.

    You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

      It’s even worse than that: he’s testing the boundaries.

      He’s testing if he can get away with deporting an innocent man. He’s testing if he can ignore the Supreme Court without consequences. He’s testing if the Salvadorian president will stand firm and be his good little concentration camp boy.

      If they are successful, it means they can imprison ANYONE they want to.

      If they are successful, our Bill of Rights is about to come crashing down.

      His official status wasn’t asylum per se, but his status was he could be deported ANYWHERE BUT EL SALVADOR if the courts deemed fit. Which he was not deported through the courts, and they sent him to El fucking Salvador, the one place it would be illegal to send him to.

      This whole situation has me so pissed off, this country sucks.

        They didn’t mean for this to happen.

        Like hell. Especially since they’re talking openly about kidnapping citizens and political opponents and sending them to the same fate.

        The only incompetence was not having their messaging figured out beforehand.

      Part of how you know that no one they send there is going to actually be a gang member or terrorist or anything like that. Those guys wouldn’t be going without a fight. And with no due process and no chance of ever getting out, it’s not like they have anything to lose.

    The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.

    So…

    When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?

    He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn’t even realize that he’s crossed the line
