So upset about ICE killings in Minnesota

[Allotmentblackfly]

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

'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"?'

They've had these detainee centres for years well before Evil Trump <please refer to my link re alleged mistreatment in Obama's administration>, so no in a decade they have not accelerated to your fear mongering 'final solution' and they won't, you all need to stand down with your nazi pitch fork waving unless you think Obame was one too?

It's true. Obamas had detainee centres too! I know the truth is inconvenient hun but there you go.
It has been going on years. Minneapolis unrest is down to agitators whipped up by Walz.

Honestly you are so out of touch with what has been going on, it's embarrassing.

You want to know why it's relevant? One such pastor in Minneapolis is an ICE agent. Calls himself a Christian and involves himself in this.

The regime was spitting feathers about people who went to that church to make some noise (just noise, no mess, no damage) about the un-Christian nature of their pastor's activities, yet the same regime removed the protections that hospitals, schools and places of worship have from ICE operations.

Why did you post about the alleged ill treatment in detainee centres and desperately try to sweep under the carpet the fact this is not a Trump thing,
It was happening in 2016 with Obama?

Let's all agree centres need to care for detainees and stop pretending the problems are all a new Trump invention.

As my exasperated mother told us frequently kids:

"I don't care who started it!"

The year is 2026, not 2016. We are talking about stopping abuses happening now. You going on about abuses from a decade ago helps no one. This is whataboutery deflection because you don't want to admit that you don't actually care about people who are incarcerated in dreadful conditions right now.

Nasty Trump

It's not so much that he is nasty. It's more that he clearly has a narcissistic personality disorder and any ability to form a coherent thought is now compromised by dementia.

I say that not as an insult, but as as an observation.

It's true that Biden was also experiencing cognitive decline but that doesn't really help Americans now.

You can certainly argue that Americans voted to control illegal immigration, but it's more important to Trump (whose management style is clearly drawn from the mob) to send enforcers to show Walz who is boss. Regardless of whether you think Walz is also a crime boss, Trump's intention is to escalate confrontation and therefore people are being killed. For Trump the only thing that matters is the performance, and it doesn't matter who is deported because why bother with the truth when you can lie?

You know this isn't a new thing right, so I presume you were all on threads when Obama was running the show??

I'm sure there will be people who say that Obama lied, but he didn't make the rather obvious mistake of lying about things that people can see with their own eyes. Americans and the rest of the world are not so far gone that they will put up with that.

People talk about 'Trump derangement syndrome' and people who can't see who he is certainly have it.

My point about 2016 is you said the nazis hadn't started with the final solution, it evolved over 10years. Well detainee centres have been there longer than 10yrs so you are wrong that it would escalate. It hasn't still no 'final solution' and what a sick false equivalence to make.Just admit it, I do when I make a mistake.

Shooting people dead is so normalised in your country that it doesn’t disturb you. In other countries, it is far from normal and causes outrage.

I think it's fair to say that many Americans were disturbed by these shootings.

Even abroad we are used to the idea that Americans like guns and therefore people are likely to be killed by guns - but until now we expected there to be a due process to deal with the consequences and we didn't expect the government to announce that law enforcement are above the law.

Oh well that's all right then, they've been going for a few years so it can't possibly go downhill now...

You twist yourself to all sorts of contortions to deflect from what this administration is doing right now. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene, the NRA and the NY Post recognise that the DHS has gone too far. The administration has clearly recognised how bad this looks for them because they've sidelined Bovino and Noem. Yet you persist.

Just admit it, I do when I make a mistake.
Like when you were shitposting about Renee Good?

Ok. I'll try again. You said '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"?' so, I'm looking back 10yrs to 2016 and see the same situation regarding detainee centres.

It has not escalated to the final solution has it? Go on, today especially as it's Holocaust Memorial Day admit you were wrong and perhaps apologise for a rather appalling false equivalence.

Think someone should wrap @Gloriia in some copper wire and place her between a few magnets. The amount of twisting and turning she's doing could probably power most of the UK for the next 3 years.

Can you be a Nazi if you lack the capacity to name the countries you wish to threaten?

Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014. They took a few parts and nothing seemed to happen for a few years. Was that a reason to get complacent?

MAGA wasn't in charge between 2021 and 2024 for a start so they haven't been in power continuously - just a reminder that Biden shut down the notorious camp we were talking about. Come to think of it, the second Trump administration is very different from the first. The first one had some adults within its ranks who were able to rein in some of Trump's worst excesses. They're gone (MAGA tried to lynch one of them), replaced by Yes-men.

Just because none of the many human rights violations this adminstration has committed in the last 12 months have crossed a line for you, doesn't mean that they won't escalate to something that does cross your line (I dread to think what if even MTG's line has already been crossed) if no one stands up to them. You insist on being complacent. The good people of Minneapolis are not. They are standing up for their friends and neighbours before no one is left to stand up for them.

When a Yale professor who is an expert in fascism says that he is leaving the US and moving to Canada because he wants to “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship” people should listen.

This is an comparison from a German perspective. It's TikTok though so I understand that not everyone is interested in clicking on the link. I tried to find her elsewhere because she spells it out quite well.
Basically, she explains how and why it is a very apt comparison. When people make the comparison, they are not talking about the final solution. Ignorance is not an excuse for historical illiteracy, as she calls it.
The slide from a democratic society to a fascist authoritarian one has happened in pretty much the same way 🤷‍♀️

😂
I was thinking she was going to do herself an injury with a reach like that

I don't know. Are you?
You clearly do not live a life in Christ but hate? No idea. Doesn't matter to me 🤷‍♀️

This is not an issue of 'the control of illegal immigration' and I'm pretty sure you know that. It is just more palatable to stick to that.
It's about being told you have a 'common enemy' We know what that meant in Nazi Germany. And we know what that means under this fascist regime.

The pp and others keep saying 'it's like the naziiiiiiiis again!!! they're going to do another final solution' which is an appalling comparison to make as we all know millions were murdered.

I've inconveniently pointed out that centres for illegal immigrants have been in use for decades and it hasn't even escalated to the 'final solution'.

If you think that is 'twisting and turning' I can't help you.

So you think all illegal immigrants should be allowed to live wherever they like?

This 'fascist regime' is no different to previous administrations yet because it's Trump suddenly the pitch forks are out. Where were you in 2016, hmm?

How on earth do you know if I live 'a life in christ' must i post longwinded irrelevant bible rambles to prove my religiousness?

The holy family escaped to Egypt to avoid persecution - if ancient Egypt had ICE would they be fair game?

Previous posters are just pointing out the hypocrisy in an administration that is closely tied with Evangelical Christianity (and a strong evangelical voting base) that seems to ignore all the bits Jesus said about wealth distribution, how to treat immigrants and the less fortunate.

Quote : " So you think all illegal immigrants should be allowed to live wherever they like?"

No. There are processes to follow though. And Trump is ignoring them.

I honestly don't care if the people next door have documents or not. It really does not make ant difference to my life. Same with when It was Obama or Biden. They deported millions . Mostly people just people after crossing.

What people do care about is due process. Honouring the asylum system etc. Not ripping families apart that have been there for years, and are going through the system.

Ohh, and people care about protestors being shot dead too.

This 'fascist regime' is no different to previous administrations yet because it's Trump suddenly the pitch forks are out. Where were you in 2016, hmm?

I think it's more the intentional lying and the appointment of people like Stephen Miller.

Also Trump does repeatedly give the impression that he thinks America was a bit of sucker to support the allies in the Second World War.

So you think all illegal immigrants should be allowed to live wherever they like?
Do you not think that it's better to control immigration in a way that complies with the law? I'm happy to accept your argument that previous administrations were also flawed, but they did at least pay lip service to the idea that should be limited by the three branches of government and the constitution.

Trump and his acolytes seem to prefer a system of government that is more pre-revolution.

So you think all illegal immigrants should be allowed to live wherever they like?
No, but everyone deserves due process and humane treatment. Not that ICE restrict themselves to targeting "the worst of the worst" anyway. The Family Guy skin tone swatch is a very good metaphor for how they're operating now. They're even demanding ID from anyone with an accent - there is no requirement for Americans to carry ID in their own country, yet if someone with brown skin doesn't produce (or does but the agents don't care) they bundle the victim into a vehicle and disappear them, denying them access to a lawyer or a phone call home. How can you defend this?

These ICE agents are laughing as they refuse people their constitutional rights. The sickos vandalised an stole from shrines to the people they have murdered. They don't care that following a government vehicle in your car is a perfectly legal thing to do, they'll happily put your window in and detain you for as long as they can get away with before releasing you without your coat or possessions into the icy winter. They are bullies who have been given a licence to kill by the federal government.

This 'fascist regime' is no different to previous administrations
Rubbish. No previous administration increased ICE's budget to more than the US Marines get and blatantly lied (just as you did) when their thugs murdered American citizens in the street. No past Vice President has claimed that federal agents have "absolute immunity".

Let's step away from ICE for a moment - look at the response to the murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner by their son. Any other president would either have said "thoughts and prayers" or said nothing at all. Not Trump, he went off on a self-indulgent rant about how he hated the victim. This is unlike any administration the US has ever seen.

Even the administration recognises that it is losing the argument here, why can't you?

Give over. If she was Black and murdered by a police officer the white feminists would not have been out marching.The difference was Sarah’s RACE, not the manner of her death.

Because interestingly, the two Black women murdered in a park around the same time as her were ALSO victims at the hands of the police. Two officers were charged after taking pictures and selfies next to their semi-naked bodies, shared them on chats and made the most disgusting sexist and racist comments about the dead women (along with other officers).

Where was the outrage and the marches for these two women? Why didn’t Kate M lay flowers for them?

Theirs names were Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman by the way and they were sisters. Say their names.

Do you truly believe if two white, middle class sisters met this awful fate there would have been the radio silence we were met with after the murder of these two Black women?
