Imagine official government account tweeting shit like edgy teenager. How can any country of the world take America seriously?

Also they themselves admitted it was a mistake and now thry are furiously claiming he was achtually a drug warlord and he's not coming back to USA. They aren't fucking serious.

I imagine Nazi Germany would have made very similar Tweets if Twitter was around back then.

I think this is going to hurt the White House in the long run. By smearing these people individually, they are highlighting the fact that they are actual humans with life stories, rather than a swarm invading the country.

Implying that elections will have any meaning or impact next year

Nothing will "hurt" them unless there are consequences for their actions.

The most heavily armed country in the world is run by someone with the emotional intelligence of a rhubarb and a cohort of sycophants. This is gonna bode well.

The MAGA-sect comments are really frightening. Big resemblance to the Waffen-SS supporters like back in the day.

No blue check mark, so surely this is a joke account.

So...

When he does come back, how fucking weak and stupid is Trump going to look?

He seems to think this is some liberal bullshit, he doesn't even realize that he's crossed the line

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I'm remembering his full-page ads calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

Garcia and his family have slam-dunk civil cases against Trump in both his personal and professional capacities.

[–] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ok. Now let's see the court enforcing any of it.

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even if the courts are all in, you need someone in law enforcement willing to act against him.

Jack Smith is out of office.

FYI, Federal Justices can hire special prosecutors & deputize citizens as federal marshals, they don't actually need the DoJ to administer justice.

The Presidental pardon is the only issue here, but kidnapping is also a state crime.

Omg. I just realized this is really from The white house???!!??

I thought this was some stupid meme..... Omg

I just can't even.....omg

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago

You're not alone. I see this shit and I say aloud "woww" and pass my phone to my partner. I've never seen such unhinged shit from the official white house communications team.

This is stuff any self-respecting 15yo would be embarrassed to post. I know they have been posting other cringey memes recently too. Seems like the person managing the account came straight from 4chan.

Oh dear fuck i looked at it and they made a covid.gov site that claims that covid originated from lab in Wuhan and was leaked. That fringe conspiracy now being peddled by the white house.

[–] Noobnarski@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually not unlikely, but the way china handles critical information we will never be sure.

I imagine they also have other false claims on there that are much worse though.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, it's one thing to make it known that it is a possible explanation, it's another to claim that it is a fact without evidence.

The fact an official gov channel is posting this kind of childish shit is abhorrent and embarrassing. If I pulled shit like this at my job I'd be thrown out. Fucking slime.

Not just government -- the official White House account. It's... dystopian...

Are all Republicans this childish and petty?

Edit: And this is the official White House account as well.

99.9% of them, yes

This is what they want. See, Trump is utterly destroying America's economy and nucleus of global hegemony. The people are in for increasingly tough circumstances as China just stops trading with America, and all previous allies start to shun the country. Trump is trying to grow the US military to start his fascist wars of conquest both south and north. This will also put the people in increasingly dire circumstances, both with the massive amount of death involved in such a conflict and in the mass reallocation of resources towards war efforts. He can't talk about those things openly to the people because he'd have to admit their lives are going to get significantly worse. So, what can he do instead?

He can do the same thing he's been doing the entire time. Build a fervore for ethnic cleansing and eugencist racialist politics. The people are trained to lap it up without even thinking, and they get genuinely itchy for their next fix. Who's the minority we're hating today? Who's the person of color we're going to commit vile acts of cruelty on today? Where do I direct my homicidal rage at the threat to my inherent superiority today? This is how they are. Every single day, Fox News, Twitter, and the White House all come together to deliver. They fill the bowl, and the bigots heads are down gorging themselves on it while their own lives are horrifically torn apart around them.

It doesn't matter what else he's doing. He's fighting DEI. He's putting black people and women in their place. He's making immigrants, muslims, jews, and the queers afraid again. His support base is unyielding. We know they will never yield because fascists never do. Even decades after the end of World War 2, many former SS and former Nazi supporters STILL thought Hitler was sent from God and that everything he did was right. Even as Soviet bombs were falling on their heads. The ardent supporters of fascism will support it literally until they die. They loved that Hitler was committing genocide. They loved that he was cruel and inhuman. They admired how the image he portrayed so neatly fit with their patriarchal worldview. Its why they supported him to begin with. Economy this, nationalism that, but down to the line it was all about cruelty.

Are the people who support these kinds of tweets petty and childish? Absolutely they are. This isn't even about pettiness though. This is what they voted for. They voted for people of color to suffer. They voted for immigrants to suffer. If it came out tomorrow that he died in that hellhole they'd all cheer.

They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn't make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

They’re already openly saying there will never be another administration after this, either one way or another.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 128 points 1 day ago (13 children)

That official White House X-account is really something. The utter shamelessness combined with the harrowing inhumanity would make Goebbels blush.

At the same time it is so honest and clear about the Trump administration's perspective on things it's refreshing. They don't hold back, there is no secret agenda, they just put it all out in the open for the Americans and the whole world to see. They really feel invincible.

Let's do some fact checking.

THEY said he was wrongly deported. Repeatedly. And refused to do anything about it.

Our jackass Attorney General shared a link recently that said he had "no criminal background" and there's been no actual evidence that shows he was in MS-13.

And while I'm not sure of his technical, official status, I would say somebody who was allowed to stay in the United States by a judge because of dangers back home, isn't consider an illegal alien any more, but a political refugee who has asylum in our country.

You have to wonder if this whole thing is just a petty attempt at retribution by Trump, because this guy was allowed to stay in the country the first time.

The first word I'd remove is "Deported". Reporters, editors, citizens should stop using the crimebosses' lingo & framing. Mr. Abrego García is a (noncriminal) US resident. He wasn't deported. He's a first-generation American, #ABDUCTED by thugs, #TRAFFICKED by armed mercenaries, to a FOREIGN #tortureprison for profit, #slavery, #disinfo and #disruption.

But Obama wore a tan suit once, and her emails.
