The People Finding Out That Theirs Were the Faces to be Eaten Thread

I figure it’s probably about time we started one of these.

There's a lot of shit coming down the pipeline I'm gonna hate, but this does put a smile on my face.

Ah yes, because Trump has said so many nice things about veterans in the past.

We should all feel grateful Trump has a hate boner for the military in general. Might be the only thing that saves us in the end.

Why? It's what they voted for.

This is why I'm kind of just sitting back and watching how it all plays out.
This is what the voters wanted, right? So put in Hegseth. Welcome Gabbard and RFK with open arms. Embrace the pardoned J6 criminals.
Let it all burn down. I'm really going to enjoy saying "I told you so".

They have now rescinded their endorsement.

Oops.

A little too late.

I hope this thread ends up being really, really long

UA will have to put in double duty then now that FF's gone. Triple, if also filling in for Dayton

Wait, did I miss something?

I let him join his idol, Storm.

Kay, folks, ‘member how when we saw the trailer for “Civil War” and it had CA and TX on the same side? Well, the pigs and the hippies are now on the same side when it comes to Trump: Fuck that motherfucker! Didja ever think you’d see the day?

Am I looking at the right Bingo card?

Did he go all nazi again?

Wouldn't you love to see some ICE jackboot try that with Jack Reacher?

Good.
What was the final tipping point?

I remember, back when Obama was still president, an incident where a truck full of my workers was pulled over. I had to come sort it out because the cop was demanding to see their "papers". I asked him why the hell a landscaping crew would need to have their immigration paperwork on hand while at a job site, and he relief my threatening to take them to Krome Detention Facility.
Thankfully, he was bluffing, but these people have been waiting for a chance to go full Gestapo.

Regarding Mr. Unintended Consequences in the first post, if that gets enough visibility and gets on tv Trump would have his minions make an exception for one person. Which shows you there is no consistency with anything the man says or does and anyone following him is a useful idiot.

As Republicans start to find out that indiscriminately deporting masses of people who came here legally is, maybe, not so good for the country.

Without any kind of due process it's not just illegals, there's going to be a lot of people deported who are just suspected of being here illegally.

As Republicans realize that no one is truly safe from a petty tyrant.

"Centrists."

Jesus Christ.

Jim Leach was a centrist. Joe Schwarz was a centrist. Hell, I'd even be fine with calling Mitt Romney a centrist — after all, the health care bill he signed in Massachusetts was basically Obamacare.

These representatives aren't centrists, they're conservatives who aren't completely bugfuck insane.

But Politico loves to go along with moving the Overton window, so...

At this point, FDR who was a capitalist in his day who understood the practicalities of a healthy, well rested, well educated populace, would be seen as a far left socialist. That's how far the Overton window has shifted, and these goofballs are part of the reason why. I mean, what else could they be doing when they post articles that question whether or not it's good or bad to let kids go hungry? In an effort to be impartial and unbiased, they've slung the bias into the conservative court, and that's where it has stayed.

Um, he was seen that way. There's old political cartoons of him as a Bolshevik.
We've never been without psychos in the wealthy class.
