    It’s so repulsive to see people cheering for what is basically 80% the same thing as the Holocaust - different end result but otherwise very similar.

    Economists have said it would tank the economy and cause inflation - notwithstanding the cost.

    Is it going to actually happen or is this Build The Wall 2.0?

     
    In his three months locked up at Stewart detention center in Lumpkin, Georgia, Rodney Taylor has missed meals and showers, lived with increasing pain in his hips, developed a swollen thumb on his right hand and blisters on the stumps where his two legs were amputated when he was a toddler.

    Taylor’s mother brought him to the US from Liberia on a medical visa as a small child. He went through 16 operations and is a double amputee. He has two fingers on his right hand.

    Now 46, he has lived in the US nearly his entire life, works as a barber, is active in promoting cancer awareness in his community, and recently got engaged.

    Nonetheless, his immigration status is unresolved, and despite having an application for residence pending – commonly known as a “green card” – on 15 January, Ice agents arrived at his Loganville, Georgia home and took him to Stewart.

    The reason, according to his attorney, who shared paperwork from his case with the Guardian: a burglary conviction he received as a teenager and which the state of Georgia pardoned him for in 2010.

    His case is one of an untold number of people with disabilities and other serious health issues who are being swept up in the current administration’s “mass deportation” efforts.

    These efforts are carried out in extreme overcrowding at the hundred-plus detention centers like Stewart across the nation.

    They also happen without the benefit of two federal offices that formerly provided oversight for healthcare and other issues, and now a situation is unfolding where detainees with disabilities like Taylor are increasingly at risk of life-altering outcomes and even death, experts say.

    “It’s the perfect storm for abuses to occur – including negligence,” said Joseph Nwadiuko, a professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who researches the immigration detention system.

    “Deaths are much more likely … [and] we haven’t thought about the healthcare implications of what’s developing,” he said……

    The cruelty is the point. I don't know how people the support this administration or work with ICE and can look in the mirror each day and live with themselves knowing all of the heinous things they're doing.

    LAS VEGAS (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned a Nevada Republican politician who was awaiting sentencing on federal charges that she used money meant for a statue honoring a slain police officer for personal costs, including plastic surgery.

    Michele Fiore, a former Las Vegas city councilwoman and state lawmaker who ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for state treasurer, was found guilty in October of six counts of federal wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. She was out of custody ahead of her sentencing, which had been scheduled for next month.

    I hope voters are aware that this is what happens when you elect Republicans.
     
    Also, MAGAts are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. When they do illegal sheet, it's either the other side did it too, or that can do it and get away with it but when the other side does it, they scream bloody murder. Piss on 'em all.
