US politics - the new orange wave (Part 7)

Did either Biden or Obama release ASMR videos of people being deported in chains as some form of entertainment video on twitter?

Come on, one is not like the other.

It’s the dehumanisation of the people being deported that is the bigger, much more repugnant and dangerous issue.

If Obama and Biden deported more people than trump did then he should be singing their praises. But he isn’t. Trump is using these people as scapegoats and distraction. Did it in 2016, doing it now.

I saw in a youtube vid that Dems aren’t going to rock the boat to hard yet, they are going to let the GOPs hang themselves, otherwise their message will get stale

I don’t like the public humiliation of the deportees. I agree there is a crass showtime PR element to them. The less we see of them on TV the better.

Edit: there are multiple videos that were released back in Obamas time of chain gangs of illegal immigrants being marched along after being rounded up by ICE

Public humiliation is selling it significantly short.

Im sure that’s what they’ll be telling themselves when they get marched into work camps or chucked out of helicopters.

“He’s going to overstep real soon, any time now! And when he does, I’ll … say something moderately critical and post some very cutting memes, just you wait!”

Trump a reality TV format - Jerry Springer MAF, Farmer Wants a Super Model comes to mind, I don’t think anyone wants to behave like that. when dealing with local/national/international polly types. If that is the way to behave the world has lost the plot.

I mean, the Cold War wasn’t a contest drawn along nationalist or sectarian lines

well they can’t do a jerry springer episode where Elon is NOT the father

Be assured those names you mentioned are far more comfortable with the actions of this administration than one that gives people taxpayer funded healthcare

You’ve missed the point.

The point was Trump says he does a lot do things, or is going to do a lot of things and he actually does ■■■■ all.

All talk, no doing.

Hence I don’t jump at anything he says he is doing until there is actual evidence it’s been done and there is an effect.

Trump saying that the Canada and Mexico trade deal is screwing over the USA is hilarious - given he’s the one that negotiated it.

He’s doing everything a man of 80+ can be expected to do.

His latest video was somewhat heartbreaking, you could hear him try to hold back the frustration he’s feeling.

Sanders has been largely sidelined because of the US pathological fear of anything remotely “socialist”.

Meanwhile, they’re now openly chanting for an autocrat that is in cahoots with a dictator who wants to resurrect the USSR , various other dictators and is supporting far right neo Nazi parties in Germany.

Once more, he’s the useful idiot. Plenty of stuff he’s saying is actually happening but of course the rest is just Bannon’s ‘flood the stage with liquid ■■■■’ routine. It’s the administration that’s getting stuff done. I’m not sure how you aren’t noticing anything happening. You seem to be under the illusion that all the discussion in here is about Trump banning chocolate donuts or some ■■■■.
