Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
They’re pissing their pants.
“The poors are learning about socialism!”
This is what it’s about. Thank you.
It’s not just socialism, it’s kindness and the exemplification of a civil servant actually seeking to serve the will of the people.
In many ways, we’re simply talking about the concept of a true republic here.
This is a rare vision of the America the founding fathers envisioned.
Can you name a socialist country that is doing well?
I hate my spouse so fucking much
Not socialist but social democracies.
Socialism is when WORKERS OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.
These two countries are both free market privately owned economies. They both have extream(for the USA) regulations when it comes to how private enterprise can operate but at the end of the day they are both 100% capitalists.
Hmm…
Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index. It is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden
Sweden has achieved a high standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sweden
As a unitary state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the parliament, the cabinet, and the judiciary, as determined by the 1814 constitution.
The Norwegian economy is an example of a mixed economy; a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors, influenced by both liberal governments from the late 19th century and later by social democratic governments in the postwar era.
Exactly, not socialist.
Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?
Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.
They know. They approve because he’s hurting the ‘right people.’
*the left people
Alabama is the worst state in the union, and Alabamians are the worst, look at who they voted for
Guess ol Tommy had to say something ridiculous to get back in the news. Probably had to go see the king and needed some recognition.
He should fall down more stairs.
He should fall down more stairs.
They’re so old and staying in office so long that falling on the stairs is a real possibility.
Potatotown isn’t that old. Just painfully stupid.
These snowflakes are terrified of this guy.
Conservatives have to demonize socialism because they know it’s the only possible thing that could pose a realistic threat to their greedy, cruel and self-serving lifestyles.
Another American Politician showing more care for Israel and Bibi than for his own constituents or country.
God we really, desperately need to root these people out of seats of power.
When politicians say things like that with no repercussions, that’s when you should know you are no longer in a respectable democracy
It stopped being a respectable democracy when Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was still able to continue his campaign with no consequences
Sure. If he actually has an arrest warrant out for him. WHICH HE DOESN’T. Do you know who does? BIBI!

What does history teach us about stopping fascism?
Historical anachronism it would’ve been a 1911, Webley revolver, Soviet Nagant, or whatever the fuck the French had look I don’t know French guns.
Ironically I passed over an image of a 1911 because I figured the glock would be more recognized in this day and age
It is, no conservative would admit it though
Arrested for what, exactly? What fucking law?
Who is going to stand up to these people?
What fucking law
Prisoners at Guantanimo Bay have been asking that for decades.
Sure, but now elected US politicians are being threatened with being thrown in there?
I feel like maybe that’s not so legal, or at least deserves some attention from some kind of agency.
Obviously not going to happen, but let’s try not to forget what the world was like before fascism destroyed the United States.
This is a nice case study about why democracies should never ever ever tolerate the existence of zones outside the rule of regular law. Guantanamo in this idiot’s brain is a stand-in for an oubliette.
A senator openly calls for arresting a mayor, without naming any crimes, since none were committed, and sending him to the illegal prison where only innocent people are sent and tortured for no reason other than guards’ enjoyment.
People like him belong in high security prisons, ideally far away from society. Assuming they won’t receive capital punishment.
So, exactly on brand from the grand old pedo party
A cage in the desert is fine. Pay minimun wage for an intern to feed him.
The high security prison will likely end up being a five star hotel where he gets full access to the outside anyhow.
This is the same cumstain who blocked military promotions to stick to the leftist. Go get Graham’ed
Funny coming from a guy who should be hung.
Not to be a nitpicker, but its “hanged” not “hung”. Hung is the past tense of hanging something up (Jimmy went and hung up his coat). The past tense of the execution is hanged (Jimmy was hanged at dawn in town square).
How is that not being a nitpicker? From the MW usage guide.
The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and certainly easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing, you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong.
They were used completely interchangeably for centuries and still are to some extent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
e: shrugger lost his arm
UM ACTUALLY
Hung has another definition too
Hey now! There could be young children reading this! Keep it PG-13.
“We went to the Olive Garden and I ordered spaghetti. Hung had the fettuccine.”
PG-13
“We went to the Carrabba’s and I ordered spaghetti. Hung had the fettuccine.”
Uhm, yeah, Olive Garden. Totally wasn’t thinking of a guy’s bits (as in, he’s hung).
Yeah I messed it up, I’m watching that Backrooms movie right now and it’s not helping my thinking.
Watch Blazing Saddles and you’ll never get it wrong again.
Poor Jimmy though. Must have been one hell of a thing to hang up that coat. xD
Funny coming from a guy who should have already be hunged.
FIFY
Checks out, since Guantanamo Bay is for people who can’t be charged with anything.
Someone should throw old Tommy in the klink as well. That dude is dumber then a sack of nails.
Alabama guy here. So disappointed in my state. I’ve been pushing for Doug Jones, but I keep getting, “I don’t like Doug Jones!” He’s better than an ignorant washed up Florida man half ass football coach. I’ve not heard the sack of nails before. I’ve heard box of rocks bag of hammers. Gonna keep it and add it to my repertoire.
I know you mean your politician, but I want you all to elect Doug Jones the actor in full Abe Sapien cosmetics.
