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!

The midterms will decide whether it is a troubled peace or a violent war that defines the next era of America.

I will keep speaking, and if it comes down to it, bear arms against tyrants.

Looks like a good justification for any interaction with ICE being an exercise in self defense. He just upended ICE's legal basis for being held to be law abiding by any reasonable person. On top of being fascist, what an inept dipshit.

This dickhead still has not had consequences for taking 50K in that bribery sting, right?

Anyway, this is some classic DARVO shit right here.

Shout-out to Obama for giving us this guy.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

From Homan's wikipedia:

"By 2014, under the Obama administration, Homan began to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective way to discourage illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson has called him the "intellectual father" of the policy, which he outlined years before the Trump administration adopted it. "Most parents don't want to be separated", Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this makes separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: "I'd be lying to you if I didn't think that would have an effect."[9]

In 2015, the Obama administration awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive."

I cant beleive Obama appointed him and gave him an award after he suggested separating kids from their parents. Just monstrous. Eff you for that one, Barack.

Thanks Obama!

That guy rapes kids. I'd bet money on it.

I can't tell if you're joking or not, but in reality you're probably right. This kind of overt, arrogant, conscienceless disregard for the humanity of others is always just the tip of the evil shitberg they're made of under the skin.

Or to put it another way, a man who does not care about the abuse, torture, and murder of thousands is not going to give two shits about the right of a child to live unharmed. And just as he feels entitled to do what he will to the living bodies of immigrants, he will feel entitled to do the body of anyone else that lacks the power to stop him.

It never fucking ends with these kinds of gleefully evil people: whatever horrendous amorality you see in front of you, there's ALWAYS more where that came from.

So protesting and calling out their crimes and sharing video and making a racket must not be as pointless as some would have us all believe, because Tom Homan himself is desperate to shut it down.

The LAST fucking thing any sentient human being should do is shut their mouth against these murders and crimes against humanity.

Anyone who cares enough to yell, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[–] TheRiskiestBiscuit@reddthat.com 15 points 1 week ago

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“There's still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

They who, Tom? They fucking who? Because ICE is not a legislative body and cannot enact laws.

Even if he's implying immigration laws enacted by congress, those laws do not have death as a punishment for ANY violations.

It's not even a crime, it's a civil infraction.

Fuck you Tom Homan, you fuckin' fascist.

Go die.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Don't forget that we are being run by a mafia-wannabe, and every "protection" demand is also a threat.

This is the equivalent of "It'd be a shame if something happened to your nice flower shop. But if you do what we say we can protect you." And it also may very well be a signal to the lawbreakers in and out of government to demonstrate that the violence will continue. I don't doubt a Proud Boy could see this as a suggestion to shut a Democrat lawmaker's mouth.

Tom Homan playing Sister Mary Elephant.

I mean, if he'd rather we open a clip on his ass. I'd have thought words were preferable, but if that's what he wants...

If this guy is married his wife totally has bruises under her outfit.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That tiny Nazi is really going to blame Democrats for the people he and his goons murder?

I bet he blames his wife for her own black eye.

[–] Arancello@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve received criticism from people when i comment that usa people are losing their rights. Then this guy says this! How could i be so stupid! /s

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

What? I've never run into anyone here who would have argued against that.
