BREAKING NEWS! This Just In!

"Republicans are shocked at any one at any time being detained indefinitely after intentionally empowering and assembling a large militant force who operates purely extrajudicially without due process. We've got Tom live on the scene to ask one of them about this development, Tom?"

"Tell the camera what you just told me a moment ago, please."

"Well I don't think that's what due process means, they still go to see an immigration court, don't they?"

"No."

"Well, they should."

"Maybe you should vote for somebody who makes that happen."

"Like Donald Trump?"

"Wrong again."

It's pretty easy to get blindsided by things when you've got your head up your own arse.

And she's voting Republican again!

Leopards: "NomNom"

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 23 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

It amazes me that these articles keep appearing and the Democrats are unable to leverage this into votes. Writing these people as stupid is useless. We still have to win elections with a large population of stupid people.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

You cannot leverage this into votes. You regularly read "Trump killed my business/sent my spouse to Neverland/whatever, but I will vote for him again!". Those people can't be helped.

the establishment in the Democratic party isn't interested in winning.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

They want to win. They just don't want to have to change to do so.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 10 points 19 hours ago

"Stupid is as stupid does". The failure of the US education system and rising social media bias are having a Darwinian effect

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 11 points 20 hours ago

this is like burning women at the stake and laughing that some spectators got hit by a hot ember. saying that he deserves it.

they punishment that they deserve is nothing in comparison to what they get.

and the pain they are recieving is inconsequential compared to the one they are causing

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 57 points 1 day ago (4 children)

My only joy in these times of the orange shit stain, is these magats getting pounded.

It might be petty and small of me, but I don't give a shit.

You vote for Trump once... I can kind of excuse it as stupid... You vote for him twice and you're just an evil fucker and I have zero sympathy left.

[–] geekgrrl0@lemmy.ca 21 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Some of them voted for him 3 times even, wild! My father and brother are in this category. I do not speak to them. I'm gay and my daughter is trans and they voted for that asswipe three times!

She was blind and now she can see. I'm sure she still isn't seeing the whole picture.

The good old “he’s not hurting the right people”

Absolutely zero empathy …. 🫂

[–] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

Good ol' Donnie fixing the US by kicking people like this mother fucker out.

I have no sympathy left for people voting for their own pain.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think in history there has never been a quicker demonstration of "if you support fascists they will eventually come for you too". Dude has been in the office for couple months and is already rounding up his supporters lol

[–] MarieMarion@literature.cafe 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A couple of months? I reflexively thought No, it must be a couple years already.
Damn, those were long months.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Yep and 3.5 years to go.....if it ever ends.

“Everyone feels like a fool and regrets the decision. I personally didn’t vote in the last election, and neither did my parents. At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right,” Gardner said.

Jesus fucking Christ still a fucking centrist shitting on the "left" even as the State kidnapped your fucking husband.

Despite this, Free Ribvar Karimi and free all people kidnapped by ICE. He sucks but he doesn't deserve this—because no one deserves this!

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 114 points 1 day ago (8 children)

Americans are the most brainwashed people on the planet. The right wing state can literally disappear your family and you still shit talk the left.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 86 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Reminder that Fox News was created in the wake of Watergate specifically because media coverage of the scandal went from non-existent to shifting public opinion against it in weeks. It was created to be a dedicated Republican party propaganda platform to prevent that from ever happening again.

No, he DOES deserves this for providing aid and comfort to a person so terrible they support Trump. Leopards, faces, and wow looks like this is posted in the spot on right place.

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

can we settle on nobody deserves this, but given it’s happening he’s among the most deserving?

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 4 points 21 hours ago

I can live with that.

My eyes almost rolled all the way out of my head reading this article. The dude is from IRAN, and this blindsided them.

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community, and he did not deserve this. And even if he was a scumbag, we don't use secret police to deal with scumbags.

But sometimes it hurts to have the depth of some people's oblivious ignorance revealed so starkly. Some other comments have already pointed out the stupid "golly I think there might be bad people on the left AND the right!" conclusion at the end of the article. But here's another gem from in the middle:

“My husband himself, even being from Iran, supported Trump, his immigration policies, and understood he was trying to protect the American people and was praying he helped free the Iranian people,” Gardner told Newsweek.

These people look at an elderly hateful narcissist of a grifter and parasite, and hear his messages of hate and division and exclusion, and apparently the image formed in their dusty brains is Captain Fucking Planet!

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be clear, it sounds like this dude is a loving family man and member of the community,

That is how the other narcissistic morons always describes one of their own. During covid there were so many obituaries about these "loving family people" who had died from being unvaccinated, and when you checked their social media history it consisted of nothing but heinous hateful memes.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 1 day ago

Yeah, no disagreement there.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 60 points 1 day ago (9 children)

I’m so extremely puzzled by it. I cannot fathom what it is that’s so alluring about Donald Trump. The guy is a total asswipe.

Gardner is seven months pregnant, but remains hopeful that her husband will be with her when she gives birth.

“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”

He’s missing the baby shower?? You should tell ICE, maybe they’ll release him.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

they'll probably deport the baby

I thought the threat was Iranian nuclear ICBMs, which they don't have. Looks like the threat is inside the room.

A point of light in an increasingly dreary world.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 4 points 21 hours ago

I read "blindfolded" at first and wasn't even the slightest bit surprised

“My heart is broken,” Gardner told the outlet. “Our baby shower is going to be next weekend, and he’s not going to be at home to go to that with me.”

Oh, don't you worry about that, ICE will show up and detain that baby.

At this point, I believe there are bad people on the left and the right,” Gardner said.
