If the military would comply to this, will they also comply to invade Canada, Panama, and Greenland?

History is written by the winners, changed by the losers. RuSSian asset Trumpovic and his lapdog Muskler are pathetic losers.

They also changed the URL where it said 'metal' to say 'deimetal' in case you're wondering how racist the motivation was.

"Medal" I think, not "metal". But yes. They think only white people can achieve anything on merit.

Disgusting cowardly behavior. How small minded and ignorant.

They just want to provoke. They need black people storming the streets in order to call for the marshall laws.

Black people seems it's going to outsmart them. So much love foe them!

That fifth woman's legs growing out of the concrete tho.

AI is making everything so uncanny.

How is the US military taking this?

President Imaginary Bone Spurs so eager to be racist that he's openly disrespecting war heroes. Pretty interesting conflict of ideology.

I'd forgotten about that. Being onside with your military is dictatorship 101, what is he thinking?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

It isn't even Dictatorship 101. It's been something since the Romans, probably since before the bronze age collapse.

You keep the people who have guns and training happy. Or Else.

The Romans certainly provide a lot of examples of it.

Because the military obviously consists of professional bootlickers.

So long, world. It was nice knowing you.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 days ago

Because that's what it boils down to. Paint a minority that holds little to no power as the source of problems for a group so that group attacks the minority instead of the wealthy and powerful that are their actual cause of suffering.

A Medal of Honor Recipient bucks the narrative that 'blacks are stupid, self serving above all else, lazy, and near animalistically impulsive.' Can't have that.

Evidence like this will make it easier to demonstrate just how racist the DEI purge is in court, like how blatant can you get on publicly available websites? How can you argue that it's about merit or discrimination when you only tag the non-white people DEI?

I doubt the courts would be respected even if they ruled against it. Trump is currently ignoring the courts to have people illegally kidnapped and deported to foreign prisons, with no due process, some of them to be enslaved there for life:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/what-to-know-about-the-el-salvador-mega-prison-where-trump-sent-hundreds-of-immigrants

From that article:

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences. ... Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

That'll teach them. The supreme court might even write a strongly worded letter!
