Damn. That courtroom artist is basically saying all LM would have to do is signal his supports and they’d rush for him. Wild.

I don’t have much love for this cat, but they are treating him like he’s this deranged, blood thirsty serial killer who eats people. He murdered someone. Happens every day. The elites are really trying to send a message.

This is Democracy Manifest.

As a US citizen, it’s never been hostile towards me. In fact, I would imagine most people have had little to no engagement with the federal government (outside of the routine items: taxes, etc…) Now, their state government may be a different story.

People will be selling black market eggs in back alleys soon.

I mean, come on people, it’s current year, not past year.

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

I tried. You made little to no arguments, and just made baseless claims towards myself. Cheers mate.

You are bordering on arguing in bad faith. Keep it civil or I’m gone.

You said, deport, not detain, which are two very different things. Either you can or cannot provide a evidence of a veteran being deported. I find it odd you quickly ignored the lack of evidence that a veteran has been deported when you yourself made the claim.

And to address your question, no, of course not. Mistakes, like with any process, will happen. A person illegally losing their freedom, even for a short period of time, is one of the most egregious crimes, in my opinion. Obviously said violator (in this case, the federal government) should be held accountable (e.g. the victims can sue).

I googled “veteran deported” for anything in the past month.

I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.

Can it? Sure. Literally anything can happen. A black hole could suddenly appear and engulf our planet. A meteorite could impact our planet and destroy it. Billionaires could suddenly grow a conscious and give away the majority of their money. However, the likelihood of any of these, or my government kicking down my door and deporting me for absolutely no reason, is extremely improbable.

Nothing is going to happen. And in 4 years, when your life, and the life of most legal citizens, hasn’t been impacted by anything the current administration does (just like the last one), you’ll all look back and realize you how foolish you were acting. Well, probably not, because such a thing takes self reflection, but I’m sure a few of them will.

Occupying an entire world while you rape their people and land/resources? Don’t be retarded.

Is it a poem using the villanelle structure? I’m partial to that format.

Well I’ll tell ya what. When the government comes to take me away for doing nothing, and I manage to get my hands on an internet connected device, you’ll be my first contact, just so I can say, you were right. But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, especially if you’re a member of a species that requires the inhalation of oxygen.

Also, BRB, gotta go commit my daily felony.

I’m sure this imaginary scenario works on most of the boobs that comprise the user base of this platform, but that’s not going to work here. I’m a legal citizen of my country. I’m not a criminal. I’m not going anywhere.

Furthermore, the fAsCiSm boogie man is old, tired, and trite.

Save your breath. The vast majority just want to stroke it to rage bait. Rational thinking is not wanted.

Oh, and let us not forget these fine protesters:

And why should I make any deportation difficult? It has nothing to do with me.

For the record, you are obviously a very negative and angry person. Which Lemmy seems to be a somewhat breeding ground for. I would encourage to spend more time offline.

It’s important to note that while several large tech companies were found not guilty of knowingly benefiting from child labor, their supply chain still benefitted from child labor; it simply couldn’t be proven they had knowledge of what was happening.

Unfortunately, based on your previous response, I do not expect you to respond in a reasonable and mature manner, and have no desire to spend anymore time with someone like yourself. This is where we sort ways. Cheers mate.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah that’s not how this works.

It’s really not, though. Using their “good product“ ends up supporting the bad person. Most people aren’t OK with that.

You made a statement, not I. Either you have evidence that most aren’t OK with that, or you don’t.
