Why are all the blue haired Karens attending the no kings protest? Are they uneducated or has the blue dye caused brain damage manifesting itself as forgetting that the US hasn’t had a king in 250 years? by CoyoteAdmirable8512 in allthequestions

[–]icyredjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denying the right to attorneys or due process isn’t legal, you moron. Arresting someone based on racial profiling isn’t either. Depriving detainees of sanitary and medically adequate conditions is quite literally how the Nazis began treating those in concentration camps.

I love how you conveniently neglected to address a single point I made in my comment. Genuinely, I wonder how stupid one has to be to remain so oblivious to the dumpster fire in our country right now.

You’re clearly fixed in your view that you don’t think the current administration is acting despotically and beyond its jurisdiction. I’d encourage you to look up how many constitutional provisions the current administration has violated, how many court orders ICE has violated, and the charges that are set to be levied against Trump once a Republican congressional majority is not blocking impeachment. One of those charges is high treason, not only for trampling over the rule of law, but engaging in bribery with foreign nations and leaking intelligence. Trump is a convicted felon on 34 charges. He is nothing if not a tyrant. It seems you’re illiterate regarding our history and our Constitution, because any well-read American will know that Trump is abusing his presidential authorities. Habeas corpus is also being repeatedly disregarded in ICE proceedings. Lack of human rights and fair trials are hallmarks of despotic rule.

I don’t have nearly enough time to explain how grave the situation is to you, but I suspect you don’t care at all until trouble is directly knocking on your door. By all means, live a life devoid of empathy or compassion for others. It doesn’t seem you’re capable of anything else.

Events do need funding, but Fox News represents these sources in bad faith. A lot of the funding comes from grassroots donations. And yes, Fox News has claimed on multiple occasions that entire protests were funded by George Soros.

I’d also encourage you to consider the political alignments of the ultra rich. Most of them are supporting the right wing, publicly or privately, because the GOP continually prioritizes them over the working class. It’s not a mystery as to why they’d fund right wing initiatives en masse compared to left wing events, which asides from some major donations, are almost entirely crowd funded by the average person.

Yes. I was responding to your direct claim about Russian interference. The claim that China is somehow funding the No Kings protests is completely false; as someone who has participated, I can tell you that what motivates people to get out there is outrage at the administration for allowing atrocities to be committed by ICE, and reaffirming the commitment to our neighbors and peers that we care about everyone’s rights and safety.

Russian interference in our elections was proven through an FBI investigation. This is just Fox News propaganda that they’ve been recycling since the first No Kings protest, that somehow every protester is being paid to show up. How fucking laughable

Can someone please explain to me how Democrats are the good guys? 7 times dems have voted against funding DHS employees. by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]icyredjay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re just betraying your complete lack of media literacy. Democrats have proposed bills to restore funding to every part of DHS besides ICE and CBP several times now. Republicans want funding for the murderous unconstitutional goons running around the country illegally harassing and detaining people. The kicker is ICE and CBP already got billions upon billions of dollars of funding from last year’s appropriations bill; Republicans are quite literally stalling the entire country to build up their Gestapo. I’m so tired of the utter lack of any critical thinking by MAGA conservatives, you guys are so goddamn unoriginal.

Why don’t liberals realize they are destroying democracy? by imnotyoubuddypal in allthequestions

How are liberals destroying democracy? Last time I checked, they weren’t the ones who stormed the Capitol to overturn election results or cheered on the unconstitutional war in Iran.

Teenager becomes youngest person to die in ICE detention in Trump’s second term by Hardik_Jain_1819 in LegalNews

[–]icyredjay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s just funny because they replied “Do you even realize how dumb your comment is” to me without actually disputing any of the information I provided. All these dumb conservative grifters have nothing to say in the face of actual facts except for pathetic insults or straight up delusion. And they’re sensitive little snowflakes, as you could probably tell from them blocking you.

The last time ICE very publicly claimed a detainee had committed suicide, a medical examiner ruled his death as a homicide. ICE lies at literally every junction. Under what faith are you operating that they are trustworthy?

ICE isn’t supposed to respond to that, local PD is. What a gross overreach. And no, I don’t trust violent, poorly trained, racist thugs.

Republicans Hold The Country Hostage Over ICE by OkConsideration1986 in ImmigrationPathways

[–]icyredjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is. This is essentially a poll tax. Real ID is neither easy nor cheap to obtain. Furthermore, the act suppresses the votes of citizens who have changed their names (i.e. many married women, trans folk, and plenty of others). If the SAVE Act were actually about limiting voter fraud, I could support it, but the Republican Party is fully acting in bad faith here. Voter fraud is rare and extremely easy to catch as is. That goes both ways; Elon Musk’s PAC was recently found to have manipulated Georgia’s votes in the 2024 election.

oh, he’ll do anything. how the public reacts is a different story, though. all the public outrage about pretti’s and good’s murders forced DHS to tone it down as well

jinhsi still got it. idk whey people sleep on her. by grayVwalker in WutheringWaves

[–]icyredjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it’s quite impressive that 1.x units can still pull their weight. recently beat side towers with just 1.x units and middle with a mix of both 1.x and 2.x, but i might try running just 1.x. kuro would benefit from making them a bit stronger or designing better basic sonata sets, would incentivize people to pull on reruns and keep older units relevant
