In February 2015, Ackerman published a series of articles in The Guardian describing the Homan Square facility as “an off-the-books interrogation compound, rendering Americans unable to be found by family or attorneys while locked inside what lawyers say is the domestic equivalent of a CIA black site.” Ackerman asserted that the Homan Square facility was the “scene of secretive work by special police units,” where the “basic constitutional rights” of “poor, black and brown” Chicago city residents were violated. Ackerman asserted that “Chicagoans who end up inside do not appear to have a public, searchable record entered into a database indicating where they are, as happens when someone is booked at a precinct. Lawyers and relatives insist there is no way of finding their whereabouts. Those lawyers who have attempted to gain access to Homan Square are most often turned away, even as their clients remain in custody inside.”

Not offshore, but still.

Remember when y’all banned the word “fascist” as mods on /conservative.ee?

God damn that was funny.

He’s only here to piss you off.

He needs the attention you’re giving him, because he never learned how to get it in a healthy way.

The argument is what he wants because it makes it look like there are two sides to the issue. There aren’t two sides. Stop giving him what he wants. He doesn’t care about facts or reality; he’ll say whatever gets a rise out of you because he’s a broken, seething husk of resentment who wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.

He loves wasting your time, because trolls are pathetic losers who have nothing better to do.

Nobody feed the troll.

The worst thing you can do to him is leave him alone with his own thoughts.

Agreed.

Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Yup.

Some reactionary asshole I know was saying that there are a lot of people incorrectly repeating that the “wrong people” are getting deported.

Despite the court records being absolutely clear that this is illegal (and we shouldn’t be sending people to slave torture camps regardless of what they did).

So you’re saying this would be the funniest time for him to have a heart attack?

Where did you get that idea, OP? 🚔

“I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla,” Trump wrote. “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”

Notably, it’s for property crimes against President Musk.

This piggy committed the worst crime possible against the US, then would send citizens to a concentration camp for upsetting his owner.

Now I want to try some huitlacoche. Sounds delicious.

100%

And Hitler was known for sharing the contents of his bowels.

Oh, to be a ketchup stain on the wall…

Strong disagree; they have an ideology, it’s just one that people on the left find disgusting because we value equality and they value the polar opposite: heirarchy.

They’ve also captured the majority of State houses and all three branches of the federal government. They’re highly organized with a sophisticated political media that knows how to communicate with their target demographic.

They believe that societies are successful when the right people are empowered; it’s why the talking points against DEI work so well— they see it as a restructuring of heirarchy back to their proper order. It’s why they push for Christian & white Nationalism— they want the “right” people to rule. Every policy they push for is framed by this dynamic.

They have goals, vision, drive, plans, and power. What is that if not an ideology? If the left continues to underestimate the reactionary right, we will continue to fail.

Even given the most charitable reading that he was doing a Nazi salute to troll people instead of because he’s an actual Nazi, the whole intention behind trolling is to piss people off.

And I’m not inclined to give this steaming coprolite any charity, because he acts like a fuckin’ Nazi.

(I’m not going to play along with the whole “he said his heart goes out” bullshit. Other Nazis sure knew what he was doing and loved it.)

They’ll still say this even though he clarified that he wasn’t joking.

The sanitation of his tyrannical insanity is infuriating.

Thought you were gonna say fascist there at the end.

Glad to see I was right!

This exactly.

They don’t see imposing a state of fundamentalist Christian supremacy as tyranny, because their ideology is one of Christian Nationalism (which in the US is inherently white nationalism).

They see the erosion of their relevance as the tyranny they’re supposed to stand up to despite it mostly being driven by cultural changes instead of government mandates. This means that the militias are meant to commit violence against civilians; they know the cops will side with them in a scrum. They’re more afraid of a lesbian with blue hair than a rogue sherrif depriving them of rights.

I’ve been meaning to watch it for a while now; I’ll have to make that happen soon.

Ever seen The Frighteners? The CGI definitely does not hold up, but the plot and acting are top-notch. Combs plays a super creep in it that you love to hate.

Jeffrey Combs.

He’s mostly a supporting actor, but he’s a chameleon who always delivers.

But what about the freedom to lose one’s life savings to an insurance company?
