Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

I think this is a new low. I dont get how depraved you have to be to be willing to process any part of this case.

A permanent resident was convicted of murder and spent over 40 years in prison for a crime he didnt commit. He has now been exonerated and released and rather than the state doing what is necessary to make it right, they are processing his deportation order on the basis that they are viewing him as a violent offender for his murder conviction.

It feels like there is a new image every day that is a candidate to be the one everyone remembers in 30 years when looking back on this time as a stain on the soul of the nation

Masked agent aiming their weapon at a women in an adjacent car who was simply filming them

Here is one of a minister being confronted and pepper sprayed while out praying with protestors

Cue really smart people very cleverly arguing that if we called what Musk did a nazi salute then this hand gesture has to be viewed in the same way.

This is incredible.

This is what they are using to justify their position that Portland is a warzone that needs federal rescue

This is actually what was happening on the ground

The ICEman, ‘it’s much worse at night!’

I wonder what that is?

My mum is insane about Christmas so sent a box over last week already with a bunch of Christmas shit in it. It arrived a couple of days ago and now we’re both being chased down by Fed Ex for additional import taxes we both have to pay. Amounts combined are totaling about 3 times the cost of the contents of the box.

I dont really get what Fed Ex can do here seeing as they already delivered it, but this is how much Trump has broken things. Imagine trying to run a business like this rather than just getting send some silly advent calendars

Wouldn’t FedEx just hand it over to collecting agencies to do the dirties?

Almost certainly. This is a totally absurd situation

Watch out Limie, ICE will be at your door! If they only take the advent calendar you’ll be a lucky man…

If you go to the hospital and your doctor is actually the 3 WB Anamaniacs standing on each other’s shoulders in a doctor’s coat, then that is wrong.

out of interest how many airports workers sacked by DOGE actually returned to work?

Is Marge revealing herself to have been the rare politician dumb enough to have actually believed the rage bait shit Republicans pretended to believe is real? So now the rest are pivoting to “pedophilia isnt really that bad if you think about” to protect Trump she refuses to pivot because she genuinely went to Washington to root out the pedo rings using DC’s underground tunnels to traffic them from Comet Ping Pong to the Capital?

When I first became aware of MTG she came across as a deeply unpleasant, significantly uninformed individual. I thought she was destined for high rank in Trump’s orbit, but then she hit a bit of a wall. My own theory on that is she doesn’t have the look Trump likes, and in terms of surrounding himself with women, or promoting them, he is all about the looks. So the likes of Noem gets a top job - plastic dolly bird type, glammed up to the nines, South Park depicted her quite hilariously. Or Leavitt gets a nice job - she probably reminds him of his daughter, and Trump is on record as saying awful things about Leavitt’s lips that would see him sacked in any normal world or job.

Anyway, at the risk of coming across as shallow and body shaming (I’m neither of those things, but I’m trying to explain the sort of woman Trump surrounds himself with) MTG is a bit too plain in the face, a bit too butch. So my theory is that put the ceiling on her ascent through the MAGA ranks.

But there’s a very real sense in which MTG might be like a broken clock. Wrong all the time, apart from being right twice in a day.

First, Epstein and Trump. MTG might be a real help to the cause of justice there. She recently spoke out to say she was in good mind, not suicidal and so on, which was an alarming thing to say as clearly she is in fear of her life over this issue, and suspects she might be killed and it will look like a suicide.

Second, the cost of living for average Americans, in particular health insurance, and also home and car insurance while we are on it, but especially health insurance.

MTG is spot on with regard to both issues. I hope she gains traction with it.

All of that, and Greene seems to be in some kind of nasty feud with Loomer.

It kind of looks like Rob O’neil, but I would never claim it was with so little evidence, but noting that many US democrats claim it is (but no evidence but memes of looking similar as far as I know)
