Not to mention that trump won’t let these “innocents” into the country on the minuscule chance that one might be a terrorist.

It’s the “his own people” that’s most telling. At a subconscious, gut-belief level, Spicer doesn’t consider Jewish Germans and Austrians to be Germans and Austrians, i.e. Hitler’s people. He considers them wholly Other in a way that is analogous to Hitler’s own Othering of Jews, gays, Communists, dissenters, etc.

yeah that’s never where you insert a “but” or “however.” Other examples where this is NEVER CORRECT, and yet when the GOP gets started...I swear I’ve heard all of these:

Well, part of the problem is the administration that he works for— which putting it lightly is racist and has an adverse relationship with the truth. The other part of the problem is that Spicey just isn’t cut out for this job. He looks like he’s going to have a nervous breakdown

It will be a rule because the US is a wildly unregulated place that puts the rights and protections for corporations over those of individuals. And people are so brainwashed that a lot of the time we defend the *corporations* when they have clearly done something wrong. There are even people here who are saying “well…

Translation: KILL THEM WITH FIRE

This is because she’s literally grown up in front of the camera. In some cultures they believe that if somebody takes your picture, the camera steals a piece of your soul that you can never get back.

The guy’s not white, of course people who comment on faux news would be okay with him being dragged off an airplane.

I just can’t get over them making that guy scream.

As much as it is unbelievable, unfortunately this is a glimpse into our near future. This is what happens when corporations are valued more than people. This is what happens when the people of a nation are viewed as a commodity only. Our rights are being eroded, 40 million fuck face bigots and self hating assholes…

they should’ve just upped the compensation package until it became irresistible for a volunteer to decline it. the compensation payment isn’t worth the PR nightmare they’ll get rightfully scorched for in the coming days.

my hunch is that they were shuttling them to louisville so they would have someone to fly the plane back to o’hare the next day. i bet the current pilots’ flight hours were maxed out and they couldn’t legally fly until they had a certain number of rest hours. if that’s the case, why not just swap the pilots in chicago…

Right? United tried to steal the value of his plane ticket and when he wouldn’t let them rob him fast enough he got beat up. What. The. Fuck. I hope that ticket was expensive as hell. Like grand larceny expensive.

United Airlines spokesman Henry “Indiana” Jones, Jr. stated that forcible removal is standard protocol when an involuntary volunteer refuses to comply with a volunteering order.

There are LOT of reasons to run even if you can’t pass a law. A brief list off the top of my head, in no particular order: because we don’t want to lose the seat to the other side, building experience in procedure, building seniority when it comes to committee placement, high reelection rate among incumbents,…

Scotland wanted to stay in the EU. Poor Scotland didn’t realize the stupidity to come.

The English will come to their senses when they can no longer take day trips to Calais for cheap cigarettes and booze

Please let Scotland vote correctly this time. I...I still can’t believe Brexit is really going to happen. I was hoping for a last minute save. That someone would remember it was a non-binding advisory vote and come to their senses. This really is a dark timeline, isn’t it?

When #45 announced that he wanted to bring in more ICE agents all I could envision was a bunch of scared men looking for any chance they could to make sure they could show all the immigrants that they mean business. It is terrifying.

Probably. That’s how it starts—people using authoritarianism as a cover for their own petty vendettas and ugly prejudices.
