Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

You forgot the outright contempt towards democratically elected foreign officials…even and especially when they’re our allies while bromancing almost every autocrat and dictator (that’s not currently badmouthing him specifically)…even and especially when they’re our rivals and enemies.

@Dustcan  

My bad. I meant to include that, honestly, but given the sheer volume of garbage we have to remember now I sometimes end up leaving out some stuff.

@Dustcan  
How the hell hasn’t this guy been sacked? I don’t mean by Trump, but surely there should be a mechanism where this much gross misappropriation of public funds, ethics violations, and outright incompetence triggers their firing?

@The Smiling Pony
 
There is; they’re called embezzling laws.
 
But as we’ve seen time and again the government and the powerful runs on “Rules for Thee, not for me” laws.

new terrifying Donald Trump tweet “We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country. When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them back from where they came. Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order. Most children come without parents…
 
It’s a goddamn war. A war on immigrants. He’s dehumanizing them, he’s declaring them the enemy, and now they get no rights. Unless stopped, this will only escalate until extermination. They will kill them as policy. It is some racist nazi bullshit. I can’t believe this country. I saw a quote something along the lines of “1/3 of the country will kill the other 1/3 while the last 1/3 watch.” That’s where we are headed unless we take drastic course corrections.
 
P.S. Bernie Sanders doesn’t want to abolish ICE. Berners: Where is your revolutionary god now? HUH?! I knew it, Bernie is and always has been a poser. He’s not the real liberal revolutionary they act like he is. There was no true liberal choice that could win for the Democrats in 2016. (Hillary isn’t a good liberal enough because for one thing she won’t stand up for cannabis legalization.)

@QueenChrysalisIsBestVillain  

Immigration and Customs control of some kind is necessary; you know, people making sure there isn’t a oil-tanker full of sex slaves and triad thugs landing in San Francisco, or someone at an airport checking no one’s mass-shipping in stolen artwords or shitty toys made with asbestos.
 
But sure, go ahead interpret “We’ll still need ICE” as an approval of the current Trump regime’s absurdity for a lazy snipe. Next up, Bernie’s not a true liberal because he thinks we’ll still need police.

@QueenChrysalisIsBestVillain  
Oh don’t be ridiculous. Defending borders is not the same as calling for a holocaust. People that fling “Nazi” and fascist around, essentially crying wolf, are the reason Trump won in the first place.

Any bets on the Erdogan election? Or are we all agreed anyway that the result will be manipulated (again)? ;-)

@DarkObsidian  
It’s rigged. Police found a car full of forged ballots.

Moving this here to avoid running afoul of the mods, but the WWE are complete garbage, all their employees and fans are complete garbage for agreeing to do a show in Saudi Arabia and not putting their foot down on the women being allowed to have a presence, none of them are good people, not John Cena not Glen Jacobs, not any of them, fuck them and their fans for betraying our country like this,

@Thanotos Omega  
WWE is fake anyway. Who cares?

@Genevamode  
I know it’s fake, but it’s still a show that willingly sold out to a blatantly evil regime who are responsible for the deaths of millions of innocent people, for some extra cash,

A pharmacist at a Walgreens denied a women miscarriage medication on moral grounds
 
He needs to be fired.
 
The fetus the women was carrying had stopped developing and was effectively dead. The medication was to induce a miscarriage to prevent the women suffering from complications like sterility.
 
He needs to be publicly fired.

@Zincy  
I hate people today,

Erdogan won the presidential election
 
of course he did

@Commune  
Turkey’s elections are fixed.

@Commune
 
@Genevamode
 
As a German, what does such a situation remind me of..? I can’t figure it out right now… [You can hear the sound of marching at the goose step marching bands and torch parades in the background of my unpleasent memory]
 
Of course, the situation is not the same. But there are suspicious parallels that I don’t like. I’m just saying seizure of power (Machtergreifung).

@DarkObsidian  
Yeah, Turkey’s basically a complete dive.

@Genevamode
 
And that gives me a headache for many different reasons. :-/

@QueenChrysalisIsBestVillain  
I love that he’s disparaging due process in the same breath as he praises “law & order”. Bitch, due process is law & order. It’s the show Law & Order. Jerry Orbach didn’t just put a bullet in people like Judge friggin’ Dredd. He handed them over to Sam Waterston, to go in front of a judge and jury.

In 2013, after Assad gassed children in Syria, Obama decided not to intervene in Syria to own the Conseratives I wish I was fucking kidding

@Genevamode  
I agree. It is debatable whether or not border defense is necessary, but it is not evil.
 
However, it is evil to split apart immigrant families and stuff them into Japanese internment camps. What is the logic in this in the first place? Are they “stealing our jobs”? Are they “terrorists”?

@Starry Mind
 
“Deterrent.”

@Starry Mind  
That stuff was happening before Trump, starting with Bill Clinton. Bush and Obama did it too.
 
The logic is that America quite frankly doesn’t have a clue who these people are. You don’t know if they’re criminals, you don’t know if they’re infected with a contagious illness, you don’t know if they’re peddling drugs, you don’t know if they are actually certified in the fields in which they seek to work, you don’t know whether they will be a benefit to your country or end up on welfare and drain the taxpayer.
