The Nigerian man described being roused with other detainees in September in the middle of the night. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers clasped shackles on their hands and feet, he said, and told them they were being sent to Ghana, even though none of them was from there.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

I sense a pardon on its way.

A tweet by Jacob Shamsian reads: “The Wall Street Journal reports that Ghislaine Maxwell had a meeting with an unknown person in her new prison camp, during which the entire prison was on lockdown. Inmates say she’s getting unusually favorable treatment by the prison.”

Today the NATO Secretary General was saying that “strength means not responding to the aggressor with force.”
The problem with modern democracy is that its defense alliances are run by millennials in civilian suits.

U.S. Military Kills Another 6 People in 5th Caribbean Strike, Trump Says

How shameful and disgusting to be a citizen of a nation that purposely murders people illegally and proudly. Our government has eroded into nothing better than Nazis and thugs!

The whole damn Presidency is a major crime.
There’s no ‘ideology’ it’s just a massive distraction to hide the world’s biggest robbery.
He’s not building the next Reich, he just wants everyone to think he is so they don’t see their dollars pouring into his accounts.

It’s Biden’s deal that trump delayed with Netanyahu while they worked out the real estate split for Gaza.
Don’t be fooled, Trump did nothing except make sure he got his cut.

Maybe they should sew some kind of patch on the ‘illegals’ clothes or put a tattoo on them somewhere so they can identify ‘real’ Americans.
How long until this is made real?

Thereby outing America as a rogue fascist state alongside 1930’s & 40’s Germany.
Every civilised country on the planet should then take appropriate measures against this rogue state.
Internally Americans should be organising and taking action along the lines of the French resistance back in the day
