Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

I hear a lot of people, mostly (if not exclusively) from the right side of the political scene refer to different things as "satanic" or "demonic", but how on earth do you not look at ghouls like Gaetz or Miller without wondering if they are not actually hellspawn feeding on human suffering? It's really like they need it for sustenance, so they aim to create as much suffering as they can to never go hungry again...
Pseudo Christians, y'all indifferent, kids in prison ain't a sin?
If even one scrap of what Jesus taught connected, you'd feel different
What a disingenuous way to piss away existence, I don't get it
I'd say you lost your goddamn minds if y'all possessed one to begin with

The best thing about being atheist is there is no hell. the worst thing about being atheist is there is no hell.
The optimist says we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
The pessimist fears that the optimist is right.
He was very familiar with that "drained of hope" look because many of his ex-girlfriends had that same look
The oddest part of that comment is the idea that the owner of the most punchable face in (ex)politics had/has girlfriends... Besides, of course, any "girlfriends" that he paid handsomely for...
🙄 🤡 🖕
That guy looks like The Joker before his accident. How do Christians look at him and not see Satan?
How has no one dealt with that guy yet - I thought he was as hated on the right as he is on the left.
If they look, act, and quack like psychopaths...
All of these pieces of shit are treating it like a fucking zoo for the rich. I bet Trump floats Millionaire+ class asshats start paying for a visit, and Bukele abides.
I don't know why I thought that was going to be a different ending, where it was him going there now and seeing things and being appalled. Turns out it was his idea. Sigh.
The US has a history of using death/suffering as a "deterrent" for illegal border crossings. It doesn't really work that way, though.
Excerpts from Immigration and Naturalization Service "Border Patrol Strategic Plan 1994 and Beyond":
The Border Patrol will improve control of the border by implementing a strategy of "prevention through deterrence." The Border Patrol will achieve the goals of its strategy by bringing a decisive number of enforcement resources to bear in each major entry corridor. The Border Patrol will increase the number of agents on the line and make effective use of technology, raising the risk of apprehension high enough to be an effective deterrent.
The prediction is that with traditional entry and smuggling routes disrupted, illegal traffic will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement. Mobility of enforcement resources will be essential in tracking illegal traffic to prevent local "hot spots" from becoming long-term problem areas.
They targetted safer passageways and funneled migrants through the Sonoran Desert, which promptly led to increased migrant deaths but an unchanged quantity of crossing attempts. It's not like the migrants can afford to turn around and go home.
It makes sense that the logical next step in the death-making company is to buy a death machine since it's "cheaper" than processing inviduals and sending them home to their deaths.
