Ding Dong the puppet is gone

Wow.

for the record, you reject those accusations MWHC? I certainly don't recall you spouting racist talking points but I miss a lot that is said here.

[Lorizael]

do you think all large scale deportations are ethnic cleansings? I strongly suspect the deportations will be filtered not by ethnicity but by criminal record and association for a variety of reasons.

As I said above, 40% of Trump's deportees the first time around had criminal records, compared to 90% of Obama's. The ICE raids going on right now are picking up a bunch of (a) people without criminal records and (b) citizens. What criteria do you think ICE is using to choose the targets of their raids?

[Lorizael]

Wow.

Good argument, dip****.

I think different parties are making different claims. Where have you seen the claims that most have no criminal records?

I didn't say most.

EEOC acting chair announces that she will prioritize compliance, investigation, and litigation against businesses who allow transgender employees to use the restroom with cisgender employees of the same gender. This will require transpeople to choose between their job or their dignity.

I'm not at all convinced that the consensus among the super rich in this country is to support Trump let alone that he is meaningfully their puppet. He'd probably seem slightly less harmful to me at least if he was some kind of puppet.

Why limit to just the US super rich (aside it being the way Ming phrased it). I think Trump would enjoy Saudi or Russian blood money just as much as American blood money.

[Ming]

He's already taken money from all of them and China as well

Good argument, dip****.

Well I think you are a dip**** too. I also consider you a complete piece of crap 💩

A good flush down the 🚽 is where you belong. So pizz off 💩 head!

wow - I am a liberal now too ☺

Oh wait - and you are a nazi!

[Ming]

The typical response from a Maga guy... just come up with more insults and ignore any real facts... Just keep making up more BS. Just like your fearless leader

[My Wife Hates CIV]

Typical liberal. Call me out but others insults are just fine. But, this is a liberal site. I do know that.

All true, but at least I didn't vote for a corrupt idiot rapist who promised to make all the brown people go away.

The White House is a bunch of kids just fiddling with shiny buttons. My daughter is better organized and is better at planning, and she is seven.

what is the closest Trump ever came to promising to make all the brown people go away? I can't understand why anyone would see any need to exaggerate at all when calling out Trump for his stupidities, crimes and vices.

I am extremely uninterested in the "let's tone down the rhetoric" game. Trump promised mass deportation of dirty, violent illegals invading our country from Latin America. That is language tuned very precisely to cater to people with racist beliefs. He's filled his administration with outspoken white supremacists. There are thugs with guns rounding up anyone who doesn't look right. And now he's building a concentration camp. I am absolutely done with this, "Um actually, Hitler only promised to make Germany strong again by dealing with evil financiers and bankers" bull****. The writing was on the ****ing wall, and many of us have been pointing to the writing and yelling about it for a long time now, and it is beyond infuriating to see it all start to come to pass and have people still tsk tsking whether we perfectly recited the writing on the wall. Focus on what really matters here before you find yourself in the middle of a genocide going "now now republicans make good points about economic anxiety."
