Wharfie, There's a lawsuit, so what else is new, about the El Salvador deportation, cuz people were deported without due process. It's easy to say "gang member", but it's harder to come up with evidence in court. Right, but Trump is already running out of "bad hombres" to deport. It's one thing to actually deport known gang members who were convicted of crimes, even if due process isn't followed. Ends justify the means, you know. But it's another thing to deport those who LOOK like gang members just because of tattoos. Here, the MAGA cultists can simply call that "collateral damage" that will all be sorted out by the Salvadorians. (Yeah right, but you can see how their denial remains intact.) And it's YET another thing to deport those who don't even look like gang members, who are green card holders, valedictorians of their high school class, and smart enough to get into an Ivy League these days. Her only "sin" was to participate in pro-Palestinian protests. Not even MAGA can call that "collateral damage" anymore. This was on purpose, all to show the nation what the consequences are for holding differing political views. And although she's likely to win her case, the message is already clear. If you don't want to spend the time, money, and energy fighting the federal government, don't say anything that will upset the Mango Mussolini. "But but Trump will only go after the illegal immigrants! He has always been a supporter of LEGAL immigration!" Pure bullshit. We already see the proof. Tenchusatsu

A quote from Vlad Vexler ... When a state creates too wide a gap in rights between citizens and lawful residents, expect the next step - to reproduce the same divide between higher and lower citizens, the latter eventually to be seen as an alien force. Tenchusatsu

Hey Wharfie, it gets worse. I heard that the Korean-American Columbia student came to this country when she was seven. (For comparison, my wife came here to America when she was 10.) You know how the MAGA assholes claim that immigrants to this nation don't fully integrate into American society? I know for a fact that Asian-American immigrants who come here as children almost always integrate fully into our society. They might face racism here and there, but that's relatively minor. So here we have a fully-integrated Asian-American immigrant, who came here when she was a child, achieved valedictorian status at her high school, studied her ass off to get into Columbia, and was by all measures going to be a productive member of society. Unfortunately for her, she chose to exercise her FIRST AMENDMENT right to protest, and now she's being treated like a tErRoRiSt to be rendered to an El Salvadorian gulag. You think our resident advocates of genocide will ever view her any other way? You think our resident MAGA cultists will say something like "Hey, I like how Trump is finally doing something about illegal immigration, but this is going too far"? Not a chance. They're going to keep retreating into their bunkers of denial and continue accusing guys like me of having tRuMp/mUsK dErAnGeMeNt sYnDrOmE. This type of gaslighting is much, much worse than anything I've ever seen coming out of Brandon. And I for one am not going to tolerate it. Tenchusatsu

Article from WSJ discussing the attempt by the Trump regime to arrest Yunseo Chung, the 21yo Columbia student ... 21-Year-Old Columbia Student Protester Sues Trump to Stop Deportation (WSJ) - They are the first mass-media outlet to point out that the student came here to America when she was 7. - They also point out that an arrest warrant was issued by DHS, but she hasn't yet been arrested. - The only explanation given by a DHS spokeshole was this: "Yunseo Chung has engaged in *concerning conduct, including when she was arrested by NYPD during a pro-Hamas protest at Barnard College." - Her only acts of "vandalism" involved posting flyers with pictures of the Columbia Board of Trustees and the message, "Wanted for Complicity in Genocide." It's borderline for protected speech, but not something that rises to the level of criminality. - The comments section in that WSJ article is very disheartening. Not one commenter spoke in favor of her right to free speech. One guy even said the following, "I'm an expat living in Central America. I do not voice my opinions about the country, its government or its culture. I work hard to learn the language and customs and abide by them. I am not a citizen, I'm a paycheck and I know my place.* *This young lady needs to learn hers.*" And that guy (probably a Z-bot or Sino-bot) got 27 e-peens for that blatant bootlicking post.
