OK then lets make a HITLER bill to deport fascists and racial supremacists.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 60 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Name it the TRUMP bill and they'll pass it just because.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Treating Really Undesirable Motherfuckers Poorly ACT. The aim of the bill is to mandate that citizens continually shout at fascists when they appear in public. This also calls on chefs and cooks to incorporate jizz into each dish they prepare for a fascist. Hotels would be required to kick the fascists out somewhere between 2-3am each night.

The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, up and down, up and down! The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, all the live long day.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

I know they designed a great diagonal blade that made the blade go through in one go rather than the original designs that had to go a few times before they got through the neck.

I think they should use the original blade designs. It would make for a much better waiting game for those in line to go, they get to guess how many drops it will take before their turn. It's not that I want to be cruel, I just want them to really think about the question "should I have paid them enough to live?"

So, yeah. 1st amendment means absolute nothing these days, eh?

It didn't during the Red Scare either. They're bringing back all the classic atrocities already, so…

Also, due process got thrown out the window long ago. Seems to me that it’s just a matter of time until the rest of the constitution is just a decoration.

Funny, for a bunch of “good old boys” who made like they couldn't’ figure out how to say his name, they sure figured it out when they had to, didn’t they?

Also, this particular dipshit is running against “MAGA” Mayes Middleton in a primary runoff, with both calling the other insufficiently conservative. A pox upon both their houses.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Two people trying to outMAGA each other would be a good SNL sketch if it wasn't real. It's like these people are trying to replicate only the crassest, most disgusting parts of Trump's personality without the... the.... ok, no, that's a pretty good impression.

you know if these fuckers existed prior to 1776 they'd want to "deport" the founding fathers. Hell if Jesus came back today they'd deport him too.

Of all the unprecendented things happening these days, this is not one of them. This is standard issue, 100y-old Red Scare garbage. Liberalism scares tyrants, so they always try this strat, and it's always bound to lose.

Right here, asshole.

Go Dodgers.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Ya know.....it feels like the Dodgers are the west coast Yankees. Just in terms of raw athletic talent. Like they have a monopoly on good players. I mean, they even originated from NY.

But then you read that Dodgers told ICE to go fuck themselves, and then hosted a game raising charity money for local families torn apart by ICE, and I begin to have a LOT more leeway against them.

It's really hard to hate the Dodgers when they are helping so many people.

I'll still be a Guardians fan, but I'll still tip my cap to you.

And as always, fuck the Yankees.

This is literally the opening line of that one fucking poem, “First they came for the Communist”

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

They don't know who the communists are, though. They think they're the democrats.

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Calling him a socialist is ridiculous. In the rest of the world we would call him slightly left of center.

He is not taking control over private property. Although I would be all for that tbh.

[–] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Most Americans equate socialism with communism.

"Whose gonna pay for it" which oddly enough they are currently asking right now. Fuckin weird right?

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

and democratic socialism with communism

and social democracy with communism

and liberalism with communism

maybe years of red scare propaganda and complete lack of education didn't really help them develop good political sense.

Its hard to refute the origins of socialism and communism in biblical teachings:

James 5:1

Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

The republicans seem emboldened to piss on the constitution.

Go ahead. Make it law. Come get me motherfucker. I’m well armed and trained by your fucking military. Send your cosplay cops to meet a real soldier. Fucking dare you.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Flagrant display of a disregard or lack of knowledge of the basic rules and laws that define our government operation like this should carry the penalty of immediate suspension and removal. If you're going to propose something this obviously petty and stupid, you shouldn't be in a position of power.

Also, they need to stop using "deport." The correct term is "exile." Deportation refers to a foreigner being expelled from a country. Exile is the removal of a citizen from their home country. See also: Napoleon

We need a bill to unperson pedophiles in response.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Kill. The word you're looking for is kill. Kill the pedophiles.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 13 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

There's also outlawry. Just render a person entirely unprotected by the laws of society. It's tantamount to murder, but morally muddier.

But of course neither is politically feasible, for once you create a means to dispose of people who tick some box, your enemies will find some way to tick that box for you.

Kill the pedophiles is a typical fascist talking point. With „pedophiles“ of cause they mean everyone who’s differs from their concept of gender and sexuality.

If you don't want to kill them. Then SAY SOMETHIG. ELSE. don't fucking pussy root around with algospeech bullshit.

That’s the neat part, the definition is whatever is most convenient for them in any given moment.

Sure, the definition is "anyone they don't like and/or disagree mildly with."
