People in Portland have blockaded an ICE building, preventing ICE employees from going home to their families. #OccupyICEPDX https://t.co/3DqvXkJZ1W

this is good praxis

The NYT spoke to Stephen Miller on the record with audio and they spiked it because the White House “were not comfortable using the audio...when they found out his voice was going to be on a podcast they were not happy about it. So they asked us not to use it.”

Paper of Resistance

The Huffington Post reports:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions rejected claims that the Justice Department’s new zero-tolerance immigration policy echoed Nazi Germany because concentration camps “were trying to keep Jews from leaving.” Sessions spoke with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on Monday and defended his agency amid a growing outcry over family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border under the new DOJ policy.

“Well, it’s a real exaggeration, of course. In Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country,” Sessions said. “We need to think it through, be rational and thoughtful about it. We want to allow asylum for people who qualify for it, but people who want economic migration for their personal financial benefit, and what they think is their families’ benefit, is not a basis for a claim of asylum.”

what the FUCK

XP...or, "Tired huddled masses--Go Fuck Yourselves!"

if Rod Serling was God, Sessions would wake up in Bergen-Belsen

F U C K the New York Times, with apologies to friends who work there.

I see there is a protest at the US embassy in Dublin on Thursday. I assume that will be happening a lot around teh globe.
Wonder if it will lead to protest tent cities, though not sure if that works in ballsbridge.

I'm sure Miller would love to be a politician himself and reap all the "glory" from his "ideas." It's grimly hilarious that in a profession in which Ted Cruz has found tremendous success, Miller is still too much of a loathsome, nauseating pud to ever get elected to anything.

Crime in Germany is up 10% plus (officials do not want to report these crimes) since migrants were accepted. Others countries are even worse. Be smart America!

the immigrant crime is totally real folks

until he does...

this is insulting to wormtongue and theoden, sorry

The president has a point. We didn't fight hard enough to keep the Drumpfs out and just look at what's happened.

omigod that's perfect lol

the analogy falls apart when you remember that theoden was a once good man, capable of redemption

Democrats are the problem. They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our Country, like MS-13. They can’t win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 19, 2018

just tweet the 14 words Mr President

'infest' huh

wow

He's close to asking everyone to leave the country for a few days so he can fumigate

Not sure Trump is writing these Nazier ones e.g. both using 'tenuous' and spelling it right.

trump 2020: not eloquent enough to be a nazi

yeah these are Miller

I'd expect media outlets to now be scrambling over one another now in an effort to get taped interviews of Miller in a country with a functioning fourth estate, but oh well, I guess.

omitted here is the nazis tried to deport the jews before exterminating them. the US didn't do them any favors by refusing to accept them.

BREAKING: Trump plans to withdraw from UN Human Rights Council today, per @nwadhams

cool

about that "the difference is the Nazis wouldn't let 'em leave thing"

They have detained this pregnant Honduran woman for 6 weeks while her 5 y/o son is being held in a separate detention center.

She has just been asking that they go ahead and deport she and her son so they can go home and be together.

They refuse.https://t.co/XYmpETDwgk pic.twitter.com/GQkNcmPj28

stephen miller is like the kid in high school that the jocks, nerds, band geeks, burnouts, can all agree sucks. great that he's found such a powerful position to focus on his niche interests

god damn i am just seething with hatred for trump and his entire administration. moreso than usual. them mouthing their hateful disingenuous talking points. all this suffering and trauma and child abuse, at their orders, and they just keep talking about how "the democrats" want "open borders" and then spouting this fascists dehumanizing shit on top of that. fucking christ i hate them.

It's been a slow burn, but this administration finally seems to be stretching its limbs and showing us that they can actually be just as awful and destructive as we feared. If the Dems don't completely clean up in November, I might have to officially be done with this shit.

you can't buy hemlock at the A&P.

The President says Canadians come to the United States, buy shoes, scuff them up and smuggle them back to Canada.

— Phil Elliott (@Philip_Elliott) June 19, 2018

Can't tell if that's a joke or not.
Also not sure what difference in price between the 2 sides of the border would be.

Sounds like , somebody buys something, uses it and tehn takes it home with them. Which is of course a crime since all Canucks are libtards innit?

it's not a joke. it's part of a trade war rant

A proud Canadian tradition

the use of the word "infest" (and "animals", recently) must really warm the hearts of his neo-nazi supporters. the president says that immigrants are infesting the nation and his top advisors advocate putting their kids in cages even after the rest of the world and most of his own citizens react in horror. neo-nazis don't have to read between the lines or look for little cues from trump anymore, they're out in pure daylight, unapologetically.

sorry, got a little nihilistic there but that is the world we live in

I find myself obsessively running thought experiments of what the president could say about immigrants that would be a breaking point, and and feeling panic that the answer is: nothing.

I'm just more baffled that they're still feigning innocence over trading in their dog whistles for air horns. Like, everyone knows what you're promoting, you fascist smeg golems.

Good post, Karl, but it needs puppets
