Trump

Could you expand on this, like what’s the reason and who would be doing the deporting? Trumpies or anti-Musk/MAGA folk?

I’ve taken to reading CNN for an American perspective on Trump’s various chaos and it can be quite entertaining because CNN hates him and you get really catty passages like this:

The reason would be Trump says to deport him.

He wasn’t positing a likely scenario, just a could it happen. And in the America of today, yes it could.

Thanks. Seems like the cold war between them is thawing:

the United States - the country seen as the world’s top steward of democracy for 80 years

Seen by who? Ask Mossadegh, Allende, Arbenz, Peron and Goulart about the USA’s stewarding of democracy lol

The fucking gall of outlets like CNN pedaling this shite.

Stewards of democracy unless it doesn’t align with their national interests.

CNN aired Good Night, Good Luck - a broadway play with George Clooney the other day. Was quite cool to see a very expensive, record-breaking Broadway play like that.

It tells the story of a CBS News journalist, Edward R. Murrow, battling it out against Senator Joseph McCarthy during the so-called Red Scare. It ended with this monologue and compilation of news story footage - the last of which is the footage of Musk doing his wave/salute.

They really love that 'Murica democracy stuff. It reminds me of that famous scene from Newsroom where the panelists throb themselves off about freedom as if they believe America is the only place that has it - only to be told by a pissed off interlocutor that quite a lot of places have it, actually.

EDIT:

The full play, as broadcast (and done LIVE!), can be found here if it takes your fancy:

My favourite part is people only know the well known ones. The USA’s fangs stretched even into to Jamaica. An elected (twice) Socialist government was undermined because the USA didn’t like it’s friendliness to Soviets/Cuba. This is despite Manley disliking Communist ideology.*

*Tad more nuanced and complicated than that but the point is USA didn’t care about Jamaica’s democracy once it became inconvenient.

Many more out there I recall @Electrifying bringing up Pakistan once.

Okay time to get real. Who’s going to do it?

And how can it be done in such a way that it also neutralizes the most dangerous person in the White House, Stephen Miller?

If they live by the gun then…

Don’t get me wrong, I have no sympathy for American society, media and culture as a whole for bringing this on themselves.

I just enjoyed the setup for the swipe at Trump.

My reply was aimed squarely at CNN and the wider idea of American exceptionalism, nothing at all to do with your opinions or view of the USA :+1:

Is that from The Onion? I follow their YouTube feed. They’ve had some great headlines the last few months.

It’s actually from The Shovel. Also a great satire site I can recommend.

You also whack the bald cunt.

The NRA is just a rebrand of the KKK.
