"We're getting the worst out of our streets!!"

Bullshit. Those ICE pussies won't dare step foot in latino gang territory because they know they'll get sprayed with all types of firearms imaginable from every damn window, IF the gang members don't just get out of their houses specifically to shoot at them.

They'll have to get to them eventually, and I look forward to the headline "Entire ICE squad wiped out by Latino gang in botched immigration raid".

    It's nice that she's able to do that safely with her notoriety. Most unknown randos trying that stunt within earshot of a Gestapo ICE officier would end up disappeared in a concentration camp in Swaziland or something.

    in a statement to TMZ, DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

    “It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem said of the episode on the Glenn Beck Program podcast, per The Guardian. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t – they just pick something petty like that.”

    Conveniently leaving the part out where they mocked you for murdering your own family pet, it wasn’t just your weird botched face.

    Here was the response to Roan's comments:

    The next day, in a statement to TMZ, DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

    In a separate event...

    In September, Hacks actor Hannah Einbinder closed her Emmys speech by saying, “Go Birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine!” In a response given to TMZ, DHS’s McLaughlin issued a statement saying rhetoric like Einbinder’s is “inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement,” which she claimed was “facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.” No data backs up McLaughlin’s claim about a dramatic increase in anti-ICE violence, per Oregon Public Broadcasting.

    “As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans,” McLaughlin continued.

    Yes, people saying "Fuck ICE" are fanning the flames. It sure isn't all the borderline legal and straight up illegal things being done by the regime. Couldn't be.

    Pedophiles have become a damn smokescreen in your country and the worst part is that it works. I have in my life time not read about slany efforts to combat child abuse in america on a federal level but id love to hear that i am wrong.

    Mclaughlin is a joke and ICE doesn't face even close to the violence they deserve and not even a fraction of what they deal on a widespread daily basis, illegaly on top.

    Fuck ICE and complacency. Praise to people standing up against them.

    Yeah for all the demands to hurt pedophiles all I see is them being weaponized as the beachhead of "well some people don't deserve the rights of the accused/convicted" and as mudslinging.

    When the right wing says they're going after pedophiles I just assume that means they're using extreme violence against whoever they want because they've long ago stopped actually caring if someone is a pedo before accusing them of it. Which is very bad for children who are victims of child sex abuse. When pedophile is a generic insult as it's becoming this either continues devolving into mass violence or people stop taking thst word seriously

    1000% increase. Theres a reason they dont mention the actual figures is because its <100 cases and also their classification of 'assault' is sometimes people yelling or gesturing angrily and startling them.

    Do you also consider that this is an absolutely tiny increase given how agressive and rapidly scaled the ICE threat is to american citizens?
    Im suprised it isnt thousands of number of assaults given how immoral and legally questionable their actions are.

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded directly to a parody of her in an episode of South Park that targeted the ICE raids, as well as her personally, in August. “It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem said of the episode on the Glenn Beck Program podcast, per The Guardian. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t – they just pick something petty like that.”

    But she's cool with all the jokes about her shooting dogs?

    Noem has more plastic in her than the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and it's severely affecting her ability to function as a real human being.

    I always find it particularly weaselly when hard-right politicians try to invoke progressive values to deflect criticism back on their critics. As if she and her cadre aren’t obsessed with looks.

    Really shows how fucked in the head she is. Doesn't see anything wrong with shooting dogs, doesn't even care that she's being made fun of for it. Only cares about herself. The very definition of a narcissist and psychopath.

    To be fair, I actually agree with her on this. Making fun of someone for how they look is lazy. Especially when there are so many other things that are so easy to pick apart. A general rule of thumb I have is to never make fun of someone about something they are, but something they do is totally fair game.

    Because she is evil, facts don't matter to her. There is no debate. No one is being convinced of anything. Belittling fascists is a known nonviolent tactic that works because they are nihilistic narcissists. I'd never say demeaning things about strangers, but public figure Nazis are fair game for anything that bruises their ego.

    I think it's one thing to make fun of the Joseph Merrick, who has very little control over how he looks versus making fun of Kristi Noem who paid people to mutilate her for Trumps approval.

    Disagree. She chose to look like that so it's fair game, the same way a bad haircut or weird clothes is fair game.

    Fascists are inherently vain, as annoying as it may be they HATE when folks make fun of them for their appearance. They revel in being called monsters but the second you call them ugly you hurt their feelings, it's rather pathetic.

    Yeah your point. I'm not trying to get them on my side, I'm trying to piss them off and get under their skin. I want them to go into a depressive spiral put a gun in their mouth and pull the fucken trigger. I want every waking moment to be consumed by folks calling them melty face or leaky neck or any number of things. Because if I can't have their blood apon my hands through physical force then I wish to do it through psychological force, civility is dead and I will piss on it's corpse.

  • Yeah one of the things ya need to remember is not all of us really care about optics, frankly speaking while I was speaking slightly in a hyperbolic way with my little rant showing that I have read way too much epic poetry my intent is clear. I am not intending to gain support but moreso drive the fascists to a point of weakness, I will mock them, their leaders, and their very humanity on vague off chance that they'll go dark, have a mental break, or blow their brains out.

    I just wish modern cameras didn't exist or I would attempt to drive at least one fascist to a psychotic break via sleep deprivation, though I'd settle for them smashing into a wall while attempting to drive to McDonald's.

    Okay, keep using completely unnecessary ad hominem attacks that undercut your message. I'm not going to tell you that you can't, just that is pointless and the people that you want to reach will be more likely to completely dismiss any valid point you might have otherwise made.

    How is her plastic mold of a face not "something they do?" She wasn't born like that. Its something she chose and for her to start pretending like she has some moral high ground while disappearing people based on the color of skin they were born with makes her an even slimier subhuman person.

    I think that's the line.

    Making fun of someone for appearance they naturally have: off limits.

    Making fun of someone's appearance choices: all in.

    I don't know, I would say use whatever makes them anxious, go full on psychological warfare. If they are insecure about their natural looks, absolutely use it and make them embarrassed. I support going full bully against fascism.

    Those procedures modified her though and are a part of her now. You can argue this all you want. I really don't care. You are the one that will undercut your own arguments with ad hominem attacks that people will easily dismiss. It doesn't matter how good your other arguments are, if you give someone even one reason to disregard you they will. You only hurt yourself.

    While you are technically correct, I think it is fair to draw a line at Mar-a-Lago face. Ridiculing white supremacist bimbos who intentionally choose that look... I am kind of okay with that. Because the look itself is a symbol of hate.

    Remember when Lemmy hated her for following "You don't have to endorse Harris, you can just vote and that's enough" like so many people said? And then she did and people hated her for not endorsing Harris but still voting for Harris?

    Looks like some still are mad at her for it.

    Wasn't she starting out this year gaslighting her fans and blaming them for associating her with politics even though she voluntarily had a public crash-out against Kamala over Palestine?

    I just can't see her as the one people should rally behind since she seems to only want to engage with politics when it suites her, not whenever its genuinely important.
