On Sunday morning, Border czar Tom Homan said elected officials in Minnesota “ought to be saying thank you” to the Trump administration for making the state safer.

“They were a sanctuary state,” Homan said on Fox & Friends. “Their county jails weren’t working with us across the state. So you know what? We fixed it.”

The remarks came after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and others criticized the Trump administration for its violent campaign against immigrants and the suppression of protesters in the days following Homan’s announcement that the federal government would end Operation Metro Surge.

“They left us with deep damage, generational trauma, economic ruin. They left us with many unanswered questions,” Gov. Walz said. “Where are our children? Where and what is the process of investigations into those who were responsible for the deaths of Renee and Alex?”

Tom Homan should choke to death on his next meal.

So, I've been sick for the past two weeks. Flu-like shit but it took me down like nothing else, even worse than the time I had COVID. For this period of time, since I'm very much NOT a mouth breather, I've been waking up 3 to 8 times a night feeling like I'm suffocating, because my nose gets so clogged up overnight.

I truly wish that Homan experience this ever single night until his death. To wake up every hour, and for long minutes sit there in the belief that this is the end, that he drew his last breath, to be afraid of even going to sleep...

Then step on a single lego, jump, bang his head, and sit paralyzed bleeding our for hours while his body rests on a few dozen stray Legos.

i had covid last sept, and it was terrible, could not breathe without coughing up sputum everytime. plus the razor blade throat was preventing swallowing too, because it was swollen and triggering the gag reflex.

I feel like a lot of things would be fixed quickly if every time a Republican says something stupid like this, there was somebody there to just kneecap them. Demand thanks for a hostile force invading? BLAM! Limp and/or chronic pain for the rest of their life. Actual fucking consequences they cant ignore or legislate away.

When the regime falls, I hope he serves his sentence in a Minnesota facility.

[–] Lawyerator@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

You say that, but he'll probably be treated humanely in MN. Or maybe that's your point, in which case, you're a better ape than me.

Like cow tipping

The thing that is really aggravating about a lot of this type of gaslighting is when some little grinning troll like Mikey Johnson sits there and says "the people voted for this" and so implication being that this is just maximum democracy and freedom, etc.

The truth is, even though we like to say a lot of racists did vote for this shit and are jerking off to this kind of thing, most Americans did NOT vote for this.

A lot of people voted for cheaper egg prices and/or thinking that Republicans do 'conomy better and want to ignore/downplay the racism that is right there. They definitely didn't vote for this being one of the #1 things for the this administration to spend so much time and money on.

In addition to that, even if some majority did actively vote for this one issue, it doesn't mean the rights of everyone else are immediately sacrificed. When they sit there with their aw-shucks attitude and suggest that's the case, It's almost like the cons don't give a shit at all about the rule of law or the Constitution or freedom, etc...

To show our appreciation for a recent administrator, we tried to rename a city resource so it would be the Stephen Harper Landfill. The dumpsters could have been lit on fire in celebration of his birthday.

Let’s get his address & give him a collective going away gift.

Fascists are all worthless mentally ill scum. This guy is probably a child rapist
