This is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really. : Mirror

He tells it like it is.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 3 months ago

Nailed it.

[-] [email protected] 97 points 3 months ago

The missing context is that this is directed at ISIS, not the general public

It’s still a tweet that should not be posted by any account of such importance, but they’re not quite just saying outright to the populace in general “we’re gonna kill you”

Good thing we all trust the federal government to give due process to people they will accuse of being ISIS agents working domestically in the US.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago

True, but FFS, really? Does that even need explaining?

These people are so dumb, so dumb. And petty. It's like watching 15yo bullies living out their revenge fantasies

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

They’re disappearing people on the street in and they’re posting no context tweets saying “WE WILL FIND YOU-AND WE WILL KILL YOU”. I’d hold off on sounding so sure about what they mean for now.

Oh c'mon, a little sanewashing never caused any damage.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean it's not exactly no context, it was in direct reply to another tweet that was simply cut out of the screenshot

It's still incredibly unbecoming of an official government communication. I'm just saying we don't need to overstate how bad it is, it's plenty bad enough already

Its cropped to exclude that this is replying to something about bombing caves for Houthis

[-] [email protected] 30 points 3 months ago

Sure, because that's what responsible governments not run by murderous psychopaths tweet even in that situation.

I hate that Americans are so "war on terror" pilled that all we need to be ok with civilian casualties is that there was a single guy that the government says was a terrorist there.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

ISIS, actually

[-] [email protected] 63 points 3 months ago

We need to remember this when the revolution comes, and people are hesitant to start shooting. THIS is how they see us. We need to see them the exact same way.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago

I'm finally black pilled on Republicans. I thought for years that they were just uneducated morons that could be redeemed. I then realized with the second administration that no, they're just intellectually inconsistent and will do mental gymnastics ensuring they are never wrong nor accountable.

I feel like an extremist because I don't see a solution that isn't forced education or prison. Ignoring them doesn't work, making fun of them doesn't work, they've overcome societal safeguards and are immune to feelings of regret.

Dissolution back into independent states, with an underground railroad to get sane people out of the red states.

Yeah I know it sucks. This whole thing sucks. I wish we hadn't lost the war over information, but now this is where we're at. If we're worried about external threats, we could accept Denmark's offer.

You may be underestimating the number of conservatives in blue states.

who the fuck are they talking about?

[-] [email protected] 47 points 3 months ago

I think they're referencing Liam Neeson in the movie Taken in a lame attempt to sound like they're badasses.

Or are you asking who they're threatening? You weren't invited to the "Houthi PC Small Group" chat on Signal along with everyone else?

I think they’re referencing Liam Neeson in the movie Taken in a lame attempt to sound like they’re badasses.

What they’re actually doing is sounding like edgey teenagers.

Is there a not joke answer or does the white house want us all to feel mildly concerned and/or afraid right now?

The Nazi party was more of a sophisticated evil than these idiot MAGAts. I can't wait to see the Nuremberg style trials for these scum.

Domestic terrorism.
Overseas terrorism has been integrated into the culture now.

Meanwhile, we're not even allowed to say on Lemmy, and definitely not on Reddit or X, anything about enforcing the legal punishment for treason.

I think that's specific to .world.

Yep, that's why I changed my instance. Bootlickers

This should be the top new story for every news media outlet. They should be covering this Tweet in deep detail. What does it mean? Why did they send it? Who suggested it? Who wrote it? Who approved it? Who are they addressing it to? Is it approriate for the White House to be threatening to kill anyone?

If HitlerPig doesn't declare Martial Law and suspend elections, then this Tweet should be the centerpiece of EVERY election campaign.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Yes. What the fuck?!? This is reminiscent of an abusive relationship when she tries to leave.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

Say what you want about the Nazis, at least they had style.

And I'm saying that, with the meaning that Nazis are scumbag monsters that should all have been lynched slowly after WWII.

This, somehow feels like they want to be worse but they're too incompetent to be worse

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Everyone has heard the hypothetical "if I could timetravel I'd kill Hitler", right? Well, now's the opportunity to depose of multiple aspiring Hitlers. Luigi Mangione laid the groundworks. They might not be building concentration camps, yet, but their greed is causing suffering of and/or killing just as many if not more.

Isis terrorists in Somalia apparently. According to the source posted in this thread. Still a fucked thing to say.

Thank god, I was afraid Israel was getting away with genocide. But I do hope they bring them to court instead of killing them. You have to give a good example you know.
