Donald I, emperor of the world.

After generously accommodating some Koreans in ICE facilities for a week, Trump said that they could stay. This offfer was even extended to the US residents. All but one has opted to return home.

They were working on a multi-billion dollar investment that would employ thousands of Americans.

See, foreigners are sooo ungrateful.

BBC headline. Shooting throws Utah students into heart of political divide.

I wonder what divide that is, far right vs yonder right?

 

[briantrumpet]

Obviously, the fetishisation and easily availability of guns (one of which his mum is holding in this photo), and the normalisation of violent rhetoric had nothing to do with it.

 

[briantrumpet]

A pithy summary.

They've also said people who have been "unkind", ie told the truth about Mr Kirk on social media, will likely be denied visas to the US.

Cancelled all plans on going already.

Why do people RANDOMLY capitalise words to MAKE their POINTS?

It doesn't add any gravitas.

It is because some platforms don't allow words in bold, italics and underlined.

It is because some platforms don't allow words in bold, italics and underlined.

It was more of a rhetorical question.

 

[briantrumpet]

It was more of a rhetorical question.

But what *is* a rhetorical question?

 

[briantrumpet]

Hardly needs saying, but is it just possible that the true cult delusion of America is the gun? That's their god, and all Americans are taught to love them and defend them in the face of *all* evidence to the contrary.

It seems the way the US is operating these days. Do and say as they want or they'll use unrelated measures to punish you. Rule of law in Brazil seems unacceptable to Trumpton so Brazil must suffer 50% tariffs (at least until they do what the US requires and ignore their own domestic laws).

Islamophobic?

Ah yes, the Hyundai/LG factories in Georgia, projected to employ >7,000 in a rural area. Reported to ICE by Tori Branham a MAGAt running for Congress in Georgia.
For some reason, possibly given MAGA obsession with guns irrespective of the consequences, shoot, foot and self are coming to mind.

‘Flip-flop’: Trump ally Laura Loomer ridiculed Charlie Kirk weeks ago but now leads attack against his detractors
As she pushed Donald Trump to “shut down” leftist organizations in the US over Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the far-right influencer Laura Loomer was confronted with a social media post that less than two months earlier lambasted the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) executive director as a “charlatan” who had betrayed the president.
...
Yet replies to her plea for the president to pursue US liberals in Kirk’s name were inundated with screenshots of a lengthy post from 13 July in which she criticized the slain 31-year-old as a “charlatan” and “political opportunist” who engaged in “mental gymnastics” and “stabs Trump in the back”.

Maybe she's lucky she won't be needing a US Visa?

 

[briantrumpet]

Quote what Kirk said, and you lose your job, suggest killing homeless people (and yes, that's exactly what he suggested) and that's fine. I guess the only difference now is that they are saying the quiet part out loud: we knew this was the aspiration, as poor people are just a fiscal drag on rich people.
