I'm actually changing my mind about that. Fat bank accounts is the point, cruelty is the bonus.
The abuse-bouche, if you will
I generally don't like puns, but your comment was *chef's kiss
Nice
What the fuck. What the actual fuck.
More and more evil shit every single day. This is vile.
Government-sanction cruelty
What the actual fuck. Who thinks like this? Psychopaths
Evil has found a wonderful home here in the United States. It sickens me that these are the people I call fellow Americans.
How anyone can take issue with calling this government 'fascist' is beyond me.
Fucking ghouls
snuff porn for dictators
I just do not understand the reveling in cruelty.
Even if you believe America should be totally cleared of people there illegally, enjoying their suffering is just insane.
Of course, plenty of them don't want America to be cleared of them, because they wouldn't be able to hate them and enjoy their suffering. Which is what they really want.
The top down cruelty is most likely an attempt to dehumanize these folks, probably because Americans are broadly fucking bizarre in that they will vote to fuck people over but would be willing to die for said people on a personal level. Dehumanizing folks is the best way to buffer that tendency from kicking in and causing trouble for them.
The fascists stormed the Capitol over made up bullshit and you're all just sitting here taking this.
"the violent left" is a fantasy. I wish we had some balls like that.
This is so absolutely disturbing.
A new low every ~~hour~~ minute.
Never thought I'd be wishing hell was real. This is evil.
I personally prefer ASMR of the quiet swishing of a national razor when I'm looking to focus my brain. It makes me think happy thoughts about the current administration.
Does it happen to be the national razor of France?
T'once was... it could also be America's national razor! It isn't in an exclusive relationship and seems open to exploring other partners.
Sickening. I cannot wish enough ill upon republicans.
Fascists
They're synonymous now
Yes, that's what they said.
Question, ICE says they're deporting only "dangerous" illegal immigrants. Is this true?
That's a short flight to Canada
