The only way to make it any worse is if some of the dumb cunts reply in the group with "Sorry only seeing these messages now, was bringing the young lad to football"

WH back to calling it a misinformation campaign:

I hope some folk are starting to take full measure of what these statements imply: it was all lies, all of it, all along. Unbelievable as it naturally seems, more and especially bigger lies than have ever been seen before, absolutely dwarfing Nixon's shenanigans, for example.

[astfgyl]

Nixon was innocent. Well compared to this shit he was anyway. What a mess. What the fuck are they even doing in Yemen anyway, for a lad that said he wanted nothing of foreign wars. I suppose that'll be spun some way as well. Ah fuck I dunno why I'm even having an opinion after wanting the cunt to beat Harris.

In a way, I liken the whole thing to the NIN EP trilogy from a few years back. Might find the quote but then might not. Stopping the twitter has certainly done my mind no harm. Well when I say stopping I just follow movie and music shit and some insects eating each other by the faces first but fuck me it's just a mad oul world.

More mixing of sheer cringe and cruelty from the White House, this top hopping on the latest genAI Ghibli style transformations of images, which they've applied to a woman being deported:

As the top cock himself would say: nasty.

Is the story in the quoted text beneath true? If it is then what's so nasty about it.

Like would it be nastier than supplying the fentanyl? Seriously, which would be more harmful, the cartoon or the damage done by the stuff?

If it was for anything else other than deportations of illegal criminals (leaving out the simply being technically illegal in a country, of which there can be many confounded, of course) well then it would be in the worst possible taste.

Like if it was a murderer, would it still be in poor taste? I'm not so sure

#bothsides!

It's an official communications channel of the White House, not some random edgelord cock on Twitter. The White House should not be mocking up cartoons of visibly impoverished and distraught human beings who, for one reason or another, have found themselves sucked into the US' opioid crisis. A crisis which was created by... wealthy white people.

Are you going to allow yourself to be distracted from the real bottom line picture for ever? Scapegoating is nothing exclusive to MAGA, but I would have thought this was a blatantly dehumanizing enough example from the billionaire-riddled White House that even you would see through it.

[astfgyl]

Nothing to do with MAGA or any of that shite and nothing to do with taking both sides. Was just looking at it and thinking about it and wondering if the headline beneath the picture was true then you likely wouldn't want to keep them at your taxpayers expense. So a cartoon was made of it. So what like?

It's not an endorsement either

#nosides

[Eoin McLove]

It's lowest common denominator stuff aimed squarely at the xHxCx MAGAheads and you would imagine it would be off-putting to the average middle voter. But here we are in season 2 of The Apprentice, so who fucking knows. It's undignified behaviour which is unsurprising coming from the orange lad himself, but more worrying when it is being endorsed by the rest of his cabinet. Again, all bets are off for the future of the US.

[Bürggermeister]

I'm surprised they didn't make the skin tone difference a little more pronounced, given they're aiming the message at the kiddies. White=good, brown=criminal, remember it.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Think about that question. Think about why it might be a very, very bad portent of things to come for the White House, the seat of government of the most powerful nation on earth, to be publicly mocking real individual people from deprived backgrounds, whoever the fuck they may happen to be. Recalling that this isn't the first time they've mocked people being deported. Recalling that there are currently many individuals who've been deported to El Salvador yet haven't been convicted of any crime. I really don't like that "wrong side of history" expression, but in this case it applies perfectly: if you're making excuses for this level of dehumanization directly from a government, you are very much on the wrong side of history. "If the Jews really are hoarding the nation's money, what's wrong with calling them untermensch and deporting them to Poland??"

[astfgyl]

To be fair, I do get that angle too, but I was strictly speaking of the fentanyl element of that particular case and how it seems harder to feel sorry for them in that context. Anyway, I'm sure there'll be plenty more ridiculous stuff to come with no angle at all to see it from with the current crowd

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Fentanyl is a cog in their propaganda machine: internalize that fact. If you hear them talking about or mentioning fentanyl, they're in propaganda mode. They turned that cog for the Canada and Mexico border tariffs thing too. The tragic fentanyl/opioid crisis is a 100% wealthy white homegrown issue that they are trying to convince US citizens is actually a problem that dirty brown people are bringing in. Eye on the ball.

Similar requests have been sent to universities in France, UK, and presumably other nations too.

Ah look, like all drug smuggling, it's the poorest who will be made take the chances and I'm sure the colour of them entirely depends on which border they're crossing. Yes it could be viewed from a racist angle but you'd have to be looking at it that way. Funnily enough, that part didn't occur to me, not even joking.

Would you still think it was as bad if the cartoon was a white lad at the Canadian border? Hypothetically, obviously, because the cartoon wasn't a white lad. They should just do that next and then it's simply drug smugglers living illegally in the country who would be vilified. Doubt most would be as bothered about that, although without drug smugglers I'd have missed a lot of fun times, so I'm fairly ambivalent about them now that I'm thinking about it

[astfgyl]

The DEI is another thing that needed to go tbf but I can see how it was a nice idea and the reactionary element of everything now is just the other extreme. I wonder if there'll ever be equality of opportunity without somebody saying they're in a minority, or somebody being accused of being a diversity hire
