    Watched that earlier. Why is everyone fighting this administration such pussies?!

    “Sir,” she responded, “we have not deported US citizens or military veterans.”

    “Here are the receipts (WAY more than just this guy), and here’s a vet you deported, live on Zoom. So, either you are lying or ignorant as to what is going on under your watch.”

    “bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…”

    “You are either lying or ignorant. Which is it?”

    “bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…”

    “Lying or ignorant. Pick one. Only one.”

    Why do they not nail these people to the fucking wall?!

    They can sincerely hold these beliefs. They will just believe “not that veteran”

    They lie.

    We know they are lying.

    They know that they are lying.

    They even know that we know they are lying.

    We also know that they know we know they are lying.

    They, of course, know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying.

    Yet they still lie.

    In Russia, the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008)

    .

    In the U.S. the lie has become not just a moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.

    Soon: “He didn’t look like a veteran!” “He’s not actually a veteran because [fascist excuse]” "Real veterans have ways of shutting that whole [deportation] thing down "

      I mean they served in the military, but didn’t have any confirmed kills during a deployment, they can’t be counted as veterans

    How does “earshot” mean roughly 7000 miles away, connected by webcam?

    You don’t need to lie for Noem to look like a fool.

      If I stand on one side of a magic portal and there is a Nazi on the other side of the portal, that Nazi is in punching distance. Technology allows transmission of voices at the speed of light. Don’t be pedantic.

    While the administration and their plans are horrible, not exactly crying tears for the empire enforcement force. Who cares.

      They are people too, you’re going to either have to win them over or fight every last one. I know which I prefer.
