Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

A lot of them were let in here; they shouldn’t have been let in,” Trump said, referring to the perpetrators of a spate of recent attacks, including two men who brought explosives to a far-right protest outside New York City’s mayoral mansion earlier this month.

“Others, they’re just bad, they go bad. Something wrong,” he continued. “There’s something wrong. Their genetics are not exactly… they’re not exactly your genetic. It’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s a terrible thing. And it happens.

Yep, he's gone full-blown Nazi. Those camps aren't just for deportation. They're going to add Americans with "bad genes" too. Just you wait.

His perfect genes enable him to constantly hide his baldness, I see. Nothing wrong with being bald, but he's certainly trying to hide it so hard it's clear he wishes he wasn't.

He hates himself so much and it's clear it's just a cover. Better blame everyone else and make his genes their problem!

If he wasn't born rich, we'd never have heard of him.

Reminder they gave a known terrorist a VISA just so they could immediately stick a CI with him, and then have the CI entrap the terrorist in a bullshit assassination plot.

So yeah, trump let a lot in that shouldn't, so he could get this self fulfilling prophecy.

Just think of how crazy that is, and that it's unlikely to be their only such gamble.

They want a domestic attack to happen, they're just not going to be as slick about it as Cheney was.

Confidential Informant.

They say they have you on a low charge, and the only way out is to snitch and work for the cops.

Often it goes from something like having a small amount of weed, having to snitch on dealers, then one day the FBI show up and if you don't just go along with what they want, you go down for the original charge and outed as a snitch with no credit because you stopped cooperating.

Like, it's exactly the same as what you go thru for blackmail awareness training. Or how a cult gets people to be loyal

Except it's the American justice system orchestrating it.

You should really read up on it, it's crazy interesting and something we desperately need to fix.

[–] thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 2 points 34 minutes ago

Thanks for the explanation. Not American so not able to help you fix it, but good luck with that.

Reminder they gave a known terrorist a VISA just so they could immediately stick a CI with him, and then have the CI entrap the terrorist in a bullshit assassination plot.

Not without precedent, did they give this one a block of grey Plasticine and tiny digital alarm clock to plug into it too?

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 18 points 2 hours ago

It would be nice that he said this on Fox News, since his supporters wouldn't ever see it otherwise.

But if they've gone along with him this far, I'm sure they are fine with this as well. "He shouldn't say it, but I know what he meant, and I have good genes so I'm fine," is probably as far as they'll get.

Don the John ALWAYS been full blown Nazi

Worth noting, although I believe that OP's on the right track, they're missing an important sort of fine detail IMO;

They won't need camps or gas wagons to eradicate the disabled, whether this includes people with genetic mutations causing their illness or those who've been wounded by acute physical/viral/bacterial/parasitic illness, but can obtain the same desired end result by simply withdrawing and then withholding care. That's it, a figurative twist/kinking of the hose that's allocation of federal/state funding to public health. The poor and crippled will die in waves reminiscent of previous centuries where the church or sympathetic local doctors were their only relief, it's going to be bad.

In my experience, most people do to a disturbing degree. Liberals are very willing to naturalise the eradication of certain groups, and only really identify eugenics as the most obvious examples of why this worldview is destructive. Most people will say they're against eugenics but won't think twice about a joke that references Darwinism to make fun of someone stupid or will think of disabilities as only something to cure and not something that should just be accepted.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The policies of this administration only make sense if you assume they all believe in eugenics and are trying to kill off "the weak".

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 1 points 39 minutes ago

They should start closer to home, Trump's spawn look like they're got one decent push up between the lot of them.

How did his handlers get him to point with one finger instead of a full sieg heil?

That animate sack of speed and diarrhea has handlers?!
