No, he knows. I don’t think he cares, because they’re not him. You fail to understand the mind of a narcissist - other people are not people, and the ones who actively say that they dislike you or what you stand for might as well be ants on the sidewalk for all the thought you give about them, ever.
Trying to look younger by defining the cheekbones and eyes more. She knows Trump and the rest of his cabinet won’t respect a woman who looks like a woman.
Because Netanyahu is one of his best and only friends. He does literally whatever he wants, all the time, with very little legally or factually to stop him. That’s attractive to a wannabe narcissist dictator, and even more attractive when you realize that half of his meetings with Trump are ego stroking for Trump and making him feel like a Vital Important player in Important Middle East Matters.
They don’t plan on having a “next” election. And those businesses will have their workers clearly supplied to them on contract from the federal labor camps they’re already working to build.
Indians, Chinese, or Muslims is my guess.
Precisely this. He didn’t want a happy birthday parade, he wanted an “all this equipment can be used to kill you, no matter who or where” parade. He truly believes that all the military can and should be good for is death and misery and harming the people he thinks need to hurt. In his brain, they’re his personal faceless, nameless drones to inflict violence. He’s been using ICE for this, but ICE doesn’t make him look like his cool dictator friends in the way that rolling a column of Abrams down Mulholland Drive would.
We absolutely have the ability to kill half the population if you’re not too picky about targeting and happy to rule through the idea of death from above rather than soldiers on the street in Mayberry. This also doesn’t account for police complicity, and the fact that there’s an alarming amount of right wingers who seem rather elated by the idea of potentially killing their liberal/leftists relatives, coworkers, classmates and neighbors.
It’s sort of Francoist: “I’ll kill half the country to satisfy my own ego”.
Spineless wording by the Guardian. ICE AGENTS THEMSELVES have stated plainly that these kids are bait. It’s not hidden, it’s not subtext, it’s just text, right there.
I was about to say, manufacturing nuclear arms is not cheap, but it’s also not incredibly profitable. Unlike even something like a fighter aircraft, you can’t really sell them off, and you can’t make most of ANYTHING ELSE with the tooling and setup.
The issue is more: will it matter at all?
Genuinely serious. Jackson is Trump’s favorite President for a reason: he exposed that under a determined enough man with enough popular support behind him, neither Congress nor the SCOTUS can actually do anything about a President acting in contravention of a court order. If the SCOTUS says “this bill is unconstitutional”, will it stop anyone from actually acting like it’s in force?
Hitler, also. Remember that one of the only books anyone can recall Trump reading regularly is a collected volume of Hitler’s speeches.
Genocide. The Clinton admin invented the term “ethnic cleansing” to justify the US government disobeying their own laws requiring intervention against genocide (at that point, in Rwanda).
Let’s call it what it is.
The argument I heard initially was that irregular migrants are not, somehow, subject to the jurisdiction of the US.
He’s mad that Putin and el-Sisi both got cool military parades. I remember him wanting to do this in his first term.
It’s actually a worse idea. There will still be, nominally, federal control, centralized in him. Other than that, every local and state FBI branch will act as, effectively, a terror cell - they work their own leads, make their own arrests on their own recognizance, and generally conduct business as they see fit. This makes for an incredibly dangerous form of secret police - they have no leaders above the local level, no real command and control, and they’re all tasked with only one thing: make less crime.
Imagine the Cheka, but they’re organized like al-Qaeda.
If you ever say the words, “we should separate kids from their families as a deterrent”, you should be immediately shunned from society. Your job should fire you. Your colleagues, your family, your friends should all pretend like you do not exist. The entire community where you live should write you out of their lives.
It worked WONDERS for early modern societies.
Not even that. I don’t think there’s a larger political force at work than “we need to make more money and we can pay kids the same wages we paid those immigrants, they won’t know their rights anyway.”
I welcome Dr Doom as SecDef.
None of his Cabinet will. All of them have been chosen mostly to make sure they don’t get in his way when his Wormtongue gives him ideas.
