So upset about ICE killings in Minnesota

So upset about the killings. No investigation and victim blaming from the Trump administration. I see no hope for America. Trump will cancel the midterms possibly elections or will rig them. The most powerful western country - one we thought was our friend is dying
im so sad for the bereaved and do sad for the country

Victim blaming 🤣 these people are protecting murderes and child molestors...

Huh? Most Mnetters who've voted or posted are disgusted by Trump and his band of Ice thugs.

MOA? Not my scene. I don't visit places to seek out indoor shopping centres. Granted, I did visit the spice markets of Grenada last month and will make time in Istanbul for the bazaars next month, but those aren't really the same things. I like supporting small businesses. Small businesses on Lake Street have suffered a lot recently, both owners and customers are afraid to come out into the open, regardless of their legal status. It's a real shame when you consider the variety of cuisines that can be found there.

In fairness it was at the time…clearly I’ve moved on since then 🤣

No it wasn't. It was a rhetorical device designed to denigrate the posters who'd contributed to this thread. You actually questioned people's mental health for commenting.

What are you telling lies for?

Conditions in (yet another) ICE facility. Some posters squeal when comparisons are made with the Nazis. The cap fits, wear it.

Well shit, the great Cheeto himself is so unhappy with the Proud Boy Gestapo that he's started a purge with their commander-at-large first to face the music, Noem and Lewandowski could be next.

Looking forward to the icestapo defenders on this thread scrabbling to explain why their dear leader is right to sack someone "just doing their lawful job" or will they commit treason and criticise him? 🤔

What is also glossed over is the 59 shootings by ICEstapo during Mango Mussolini's first term or the 30ish just since January.
ICEstapo also has history of shooting into and at vehicles despite being told not to.
The record number of deaths in ICEstapo custody doesn't rate a mention either. Such a christian country. Jesus would be so proud

The removal of Noem and Bovino won't change much, the lies narrative will stay the same but, regardless, I am glad they have been moved out of view.
Of course, he can't help himself. At the same time, he's announced that he's investigating Ilhan Omar. Never one to hide his hateful and vengeful feelings, acting like a toddler shouldn't be a surprise.
No, not at all using his power for personal attacks 🙄

ICE agents could execute Jesus in the street tomorrow and the Trump administration and its supporters would find a way to justify it.

After all, in the American fundamentalist world empathy is now a sin.

A brown man who provided free healthcare, protested against temples being places of commerce and distributed food?

He'd have been denounced as a communist.

The record number of deaths in ICE custody could probably give you a clue.

Wait for the "we didn't know it was happening", and "it was done with dear leaders knowledge" "They were rogue agents".

Fuck off, we all know, Dear leader encouraged it and it is the culture not an outlier.

Honestly the levels of desperation on this thread to label those who agree with the control of illegal immigration is absolutely off the scale. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't such a serious issue.

Well, MAGA did say the late Pope Francis was a commie. And Pope Leo appears to be getting the same treatment from MAGA.

So, given that the Pope is officially the Vicar to Jesus Christ, it would appear that MAGA is indeed anti Jesus. Or at least the Catholic Jesus.

Nazis rounded up and murdered millions of legal residents. Immigration control are arresting, detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. Do keep up.

I'm talking about those who claim to be Christian. Do you?

Many of the influential "Christian" denominations in the US don't follow Jesus's teachings at all (I'm an atheist and I probably come closer). They forget to "love thy neighbour". They vote for a man who is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins. They're fond of quoting Leviticus to justify their homophobia, but they conveniently forget this verse:

When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

Jesus was incensed by the money changers in the temple so he turned their tables over (you know, a protest). If you don't know what 'prosperity gospel' is then I suggest that you look it up. It teaches that anyone who is poor or sick is not a good Christian, and that one can buy one's way to heaven by donating money. Some of the preachers are worth tens of millions. Jesus on the other hand said "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

They weren't legal residents though, were they? By the stroke of a pen they were illegal.

Just like how many people in the US have been abducted in spite of having asylum applications, visas, green cards, or even citizenship.

MAGA hasn't murdered millions yet, but it took the Nazis a decade to come up with the "Final Solution". Do you want to ignore the disgusting concentration camps in Texas and Florida only to look back in ten years and ask "why did no one do something"?

You think that the evangelical right aren't massively influential in the US? That there aren't pastors making batshit sermons in front of an electric guitar, telling their rock concert sized congregations that Trump is part of God's plan?

We can all agree that detainees should be treated well, maybe fight for that rather than this obsession that it's all Nasty Trump and his 'naziiiiiiiii' supporters.

The situation in MC is entirely of Walz and the mayor's fault for inciting violence and unrest. ICE are active in many areas without the whistle blowing agitators.

The evangelical right have had their rock concerts for decades, again this is not a new Trump invention. To post a speech about jesus on a thread about ICE would seem to be grasping at straws tbh.

On a parenting forum, I would imagine most posters to have little patience for "but he started it!"
