      Even if a sizeable number of them didn’t, a lot if not most of them did in fact vote to deport mothers. They told everybody this was the plan. It was always the plan.

    Yes you did. And literally everyone tried to warn you but you didn’t wanna listen because you thought they’d only deport the people you don’t like.

    Yes, you voted for everything that’s happening, including deporting moms and separating families. You were just too stupid to realize it.

    FFS people! YES, YOU VOTED EXACTLY FOR THIS!!

    Admit that this is what you voted for and just say you regret it, you were wrong, and then do whatever you can to salvage what little is left of your community.

    Jesus Fucking Christ, I just can’t with these fucking people, it’s as if their intestines have started to excrete feces into their skulls.

      Started? They’ve always had shit for brains. Only difference is before it wasn’t fashionable to advertise it in public.

      They’ll NEVER be welcome back. They need to shoot themselves in the head and make the world a better place.

    According to Hui’s attorney, she hoped to gain permanent resident status in the U.S. after paying “an American citizen $2,000 to enter into a sham marriage.”

    She needs to get a new attorney.

    Is critical thinking in America completely dead? Why would you trust a 39-time felon for anything? Even asking him the time of the day is suspicious of getting a made up answer.

      Smart observers will realize this saga is a story about the effectiveness of modern media at distorting reality. Americans aren’t just magically, uniquely shitty people. We had a coordinated disinformation engine, truly a superweapon, trained on our population for a long, long period of time.

      Shit works pretty great, and the world will see more of it.

      Edit: strongest bit of evidence is probably just how the target group got their world views completely rewritten. Hard to really document properly, ya kinda just have to witness the dramatic shift firsthand. People got reprogrammed within a single generation. The same folks who raised us on “two wrongs don’t make a right” and “treat others how you want to be treated” behave completely unrecognizably today. The disinformation engine is so effective they were tricked into completely rewriting their own internal values.

            And it’s about as “broad spectrum” as it gets, going from literal shortwave radio (very active for this weapon), all the way up to the most sophisticated AI we have at the moment I’m writing this,

            And every possible communication technology between those two extremes is also used for this purpose.

            The crazy part is I think for all of the sophistication, it all just boils down to a numbers game. Reach enough people with enough bullshit enough times and their minds change. It’s flat out that simple.

      They hate the same people he does, and that camaraderie matters more to them than being robbed and trafficked to South Sudan by mistake.

      These idiots would vote for him again anyway.

      I don’t know Kennet, MO specifically, but this is my thought every time I read one of these stories. I guess we’ll (probably) find out in 18 months.

    Red State America got exactly what their Messiah said he’d do. And the leopards nom-nom at a 24/7 face buffet.
