The cruelty and suffering, of course, is the point. Just like the “ASMR” of prisoners marching to the plane to Gitmo. The fascists get off on hate, pain and cruelty. The more outrageous it is, the more they love it. And the more they want to display it, like it was entertainment or something. Sick, sick bastards.
I wonder if the GOP will finally kill the DREAMer program they’ve tried to do for so long. My brother in law was one, got busted for smoking weed, did 2 years in jail, they then revoked his DREAMer status and deported him, sending him to a country he hadn’t been in since he was 2 (and was now in his mid-20s). This happened while Obama was president btw, it’s not a Trump bash. And after his jail and deportation, we got a governor who not only passed laws making it legal and automatically purging convictions for anyone with it. Not the BIL though, because his plea deal was the 2 years of jail + deportation. According to his court papers, he’s allowed to apply for permission to re-enter the US after 25 years.
Being a DREAMer meant you had to be on the best behavior, as any issue could have you removed. And he was, for the most part, a decent kid. I don’t count smoking a joint as grounds to banish him.
Can you imagine how empty this country would be if citizens were kicked out for smoking weed?
Irish comedian and musician Garron Noone gave his opinion on Connor McGregor’s white house appearance, and while he does chastise McGregor for the shitbag that he is he also ended up spouting usual anti-immigrant nonsense too (the streets are too dangerous, they’re taking advantage of the rules, etc). Now he’s shut off his social media.
Link to his diatribe if you’re at all bothered.
BTW regarding “dangerous streets” he’s from the small town of Ballina in County Mayo. I wonder whether he was referring to Main street, or the other one.
