Apparently they just purged ICE leadership and replaced them with people from Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection. The imperial boomerang is about to hit harder.

JDPON DON AT IT AGAIN

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

Summoned every general into a single room to call them woke and fat.

Payroll is only being met by the "donation" of a billionaire friend.

Says he's gonna ask them to blow up US civilians.

SNAP isn't going out this Saturday.

...guys, I think Trump is trying to get couped.

[-] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

He’s not trying to get couped he’s trying to get riots going so he can call in the troops and do the shit he’s dreaming about.

[-] homhom9000@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

But when he's messing with his armed wing and purging his loyalists for being incompetent, he sabotages himself. Even before the shutdown national guard troops were bored and confused about why they were in cities.

[-] Hyper_red@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

They're very incompetent and they think they're gonna win

[-] homhom9000@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

And they can't do this the same time they're beating their chest in the carribean. Or I mean they can but it will not be successful

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Bingo. Chuds get off on baiting people to do the stuff they want as an excuse to do even more brutal, evil things.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

This!

Him and the other monsters in power are really just looking for a reason to raze some cities and cull those they deem undesirable.

[-] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah but he’s pissing off the guys that do the razing and culling too

[-] JohnBrownsBawdy@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Think about how many asshole freaks are in the military. No, some of the national guard guys don’t want to massacre civilians (some would be happy to tho), but considering the number of known nazi/white supremacist/blackpilled gangs in the military you’ve definitely got enough to do some major damage.

I sincerely doubt the Fat Woke Generals are going to do as much as a replacement level lib member of congress to stop shit from going down.

[-] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Sure, but those people still have bills to pay. “Always pay your guys with guns” is like, rule one

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Their plan isn’t sound, but I do feel that is still their plan.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

An important step of fascism is manufacturing a crisis. Get rid of people’s ability to obtain food = rampant theft and “crime” = excuse to crack down

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Payroll is only being met by the "donation" of a billionaire friend.

Did they actually pay? In any case - the math didn't work. It works out to $100 a person.

obama-drone "I'll write the theory."

trump-kubrick-stare "And I'll do the praxis!"

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

I'm reminded of how Obama declared Venezuela a threat to national security, which Trump is using to bomb fishing boats. Or how Obama built the camps and Trump is filling them.

Obama walked to Trump could run 🇺🇸

[-] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Thanks obama

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Mr President please Blow up Obamas house with a drone strike.

[-] prole@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

If they start doing airstrikes will any country offer USAians refugee status?

[-] Aradino@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Call me naïve but airstrikes against their own civilians would surely be the final straw. surely

[-] Hexamerous@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Can't think of a population more groomed to turn on each other. Being able to legally kill your neighbor is the real American dream.

[-] Muinteoir_Saoirse@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

I dunno, they did an airstrike on a house in Philly and burned down an entire city block (61 buildings) and that wasn't the final straw, so who's to say

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

There is no straw.

[-] D61@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

The average USAian with chuddy politics is likely to be just as atomized and alone as the rest of us. Finally realizing that "things have gone too far" is going to push them to what?

I don't have faith that individuals will both radicalize and organize against their former political "friends". I'm more willing to believe that they will just go quiet, hunker down, and hope that things "get better" at some future point in time after "somebody" does "something".

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

And what would happen?

Would that be the moment the "good" people gather their arms against him?

Odds are likely they'll either just flee or hope to quietly wait it out

[-] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

The question was “Will any other countries start offering us refugee status?”

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

At this point im really not sure

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Lol nope, libs will whine but yearn for brunch

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Orders are orders.

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

You can always debate the drone

[-] Euergetes@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Cuba, Venezuela, Laos, Russia

good luck gettin there

[-] Kefla@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Cuba isn't too far from a lot of us in the US

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Finally, being in Florida works out in my favor.

[-] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Can't wait for the American Gusano community in Cuba.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Nato country? Doubtful. Others? Maybe the ones with refugee programs that don't have any reliance on the US.

[-] BeanisBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Others? Maybe the ones with refugee programs that don't have any reliance on the US.

Please Xi

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I don't think alliances are so cut-and-dry. I would assume e.g. EU countries will gladly take US refugees (because they're white enough, if nothing else)

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's not so simple. Doing so would involve acknowledging that the US is doing something wrong enough to warrant it. Doing so would also trigger legal repercussions in many of those countries that must automatically carry out various actions against perpetrating countries. They are more likely to look the other way and pretend the US is doing nothing wrong than they are to acknowledge that the leader of nato is carrying out such abuses that it is producing refugees.

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

They might call it something other than "refugees" to avoid legal issues, but in practice accepting refugees who are already close culturally, and are ready to work 12h shifts (because they've been doing so in the US already) makes financial sense. The usual right-wing opposition won't be an issue either. So it's more likely to happen than not, in my view.

[-] juniper@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

At that point I would qualify as a persecuted communist, would China take me? Maybe they'd rather use me as a double agent! Hello Xi! I've got good ideas!!

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Maybe through UNHCR? I think you need to actually go there first though, then apply from within the country. They don't get very many applications per year:

Compare with US:

I suspect this is mostly because refugees try to flee somewhere that they speak the language.

[-] juniper@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

Wow the difference between the two is wild, thanks for sharing. Your point about the language makes sense. I've been involved at the margins of various diaspora communities and they are a strong pull too. That kind of thing probably hasn't had enough time to develop for China.

[-] balsoft@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

I suspect this is mostly because refugees try to flee somewhere that they speak the language.

It's still so wild that a country of 1 billion people only received 78 refugee applications in a whole year. In comparison India got >3000 applications last year.

Wherever you're from, whatever language you speak, you will be able to find some small diaspora in a country so large.

Either something is not right with the data or there's something else going on. Maybe China has some different asylum/refugee process that's easier?

[-] purpleworm@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think Vietnam probably would.

Come to think of it, I bet you the DPRK would, but like the other commenter said, good luck getting there.

[-] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

trump bombs a quincienera

Wow. Jimmy Kimmel is going to really let him have it tonight.

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

I can’t wait for my wedding to be drone striked.

[-] gay_king_prince_charles@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Trump has a limited amount of goodwill with the military, and it seems like he's overestimating how much of it remains. So far, he hasn't been paying his guys, pissing off high command, and other nonsense. This kind of stuff lowers morale as no servicemember joins to attack Americans. It's almost like he's trying to get himself couped.
