British: His last name is McIntyre. He's IRA. Get him!
Americans: He's got dark hair. He's Mexican. Get him!
To help meet their quora, ICE has started wearing these glasses:
It doesn't make it better if Mexicans are detained for looking Mexican.
It further discredits ICE's ability to make judgements.
In ICE's defense the Irish guy also spoke with a funny accent
Why doesn't everyone just stop looking so goddamm Mexican?! And tuck your shirt in! If this bloke were innocent do you really think he'd look so Mexican?
Look at Ted Cruz (but not for too long please) . Homeboy is Latino but he's not all Mexican looking. He even goes to Mexico when things get tough at home in the North America and it doesn't even rub off on him. Bro tucks in his shirt.
You mean Rafael Edward Cruz?
And tuck your shirt in!
Where I live an easy way to tell the Mexicans from the less-Mexicans is that the Mexicans tuck their shirts in and have a sweet belt lol.
US is a fascist state. Their supreme court codified it last week. Fascist State. Period.
Those unfortunate accidents can easily be resolved:
just make the Mexicans wear something that makes them easily recognisable. Something like, I don't know, maybe a small patch in the shape of a sombrero, oh and and make it yellow so it stands out.. hm, that idea kinda feels familiar.... /s
Two tortilla chips on top of each other should do the trick. Also the Irish are traditionally the first white people to be thrown under the bus by supremacists so might as well give them an own symbol too.
-
Taco, it's so goddamn obvious
-
How fucking dare you.
-
Where's that taco I was promised.
I just downloaded a new Foss app to edit photos for the first time to help visualize, hope this helps
It occured to me I wasn't being clear, this should help:
- Whoosh
Still don't have my taco.
Nah, It’s taking too long. Can’t we just skip to the “Final Solution to the Mexican Question” already.
How does he look remotely mexican ? Just because he has a beard ? He looks like 80% of people around me (celtic region), he just has a sailor beard
Is Captain Haddock a mexican to those nazis ?
He has dark hair = Mexican. It's easy to spot, if you're ICE trained.
Captain Haddock would sure tell them.
If we don’t have a Nuremberg type trial in this country by 2028 there will be no future for anyone here worth living
Its ok, the ICE workers were only doing what they were told to do, so its ok.
Obvs /S
Not gonna happen just like Obama refused to do anything about Bush era torturers covering for them. Barring a revolution Trump era officials will got off fine at worst having a single symbolic person given a slap on the wrist.
You think there is going to be a country to go back to after Trump? Quit fooling yourself. He's torn down all the progress you've made as a country in the last 75 years. It would take decades and decades to get back to where you were, and you'll be left behind by the rest of us. Welcome to the divided states on America
You think there is going to be a country to go back to after Trump?
Yeah, there may even be more than one.
Honestly, they'd probably fair better as smaller nation states at this point. Ideologies, infrastructure, education curriculums, policing, voting policy are all vastly different from state to state already. Of course, then you'd be dealing with constant internal expansionism.
I keep saying, remove qualified immunity and make the individual agents face consequences for following illegal orders
Yeah, the problem has always been that Democrats want to 'look forward, not back' and just don't punish Republicans whenever they do this shit.
Happened after Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr and Trump I. And then you see the exact same characters crawling out of the woodwork and trying again. Roger Stone is always there and hasn't spent significant time in prison.
Trump tried an actual coup and the only people that went to prison for it were a bunch of yokels who probably didn't even know they were participating in one.
It's not gonna happen unless the populist left takes power, and only if they decide to not compromise this time, like they did during the time of the New Deal. And I don't see that happening in time for 2028. But who knows, maybe I'm underestimating DJT's ability to drive unemployment to the 20-30% range.
11 were hanged. It was a symbolic guesture. You are already free to believe that fascism is over and that they don't have any influence right now. You don't need a trial, just close your eyes.
But at this point even a symbolic gesture would be almost more than hope could bear
We also bombed and shot a lot of them too don't forget.
Oh look, they are doing everything they denied they would.
Edit: Wow, they literally murdered someone in custody with him
...then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me
77,302,580 Americans voted for this shit
Allegedly. Apparently the election was rigged. Or it wasn't. Or it was. Who the fuck even knows. Lol.
If it weren't for their stupid fucking gun laws, I would absolutely be advocating for a hemisphere wide Schengen. Beyond containing American gun stupidity, there is zero reason to have hard borders in the Americas.
Yes! I never needed a passport to visit Canada in the '80s and '90s. Haven't been back since that changed. Also lived in Texas and crossed the Rio Grande back and forth with no issues in the early '90s too. The border wall insanity and militarization of all this is insane!
There's a lot of stupidity being contained by those borders. The gun stuff is only part of it.
I really fucking hate this administration. Not a day goes by that I do not wish for this all to just end. It’s just depressing. If this is what America has become I’m not sure I want to be here any more, not that I have anywhere to go.
That might be because there's a huge Irish diaspora in Mexico
Or it might be because these D average high school late graduates can only see things through one lens
Lebanese too, although that's not going to do them any favors with ice.
