Because they were US citizens. While the US has some pretty… ugly history. If you think Nazi Germany would have treated a random black citizen better than what they got in the US you are absolutely delusional. The only reason they weren’t sent to camps with the Jews was because the population was deemed too insignificant to be worth the effort.

“Oh, yeah? What are you going to do about it?”
(checks Constitution) “Oh…uhhh. I guess nothing?”
Impeachment, that’s what they’d do about it. But that would require politicians who do their job and also uphold the constitution. If the question is: what happens when everyone involved breaks the law and doesn’t do their job?
The answer is one of two things: the people vote them out.
If they are voted out but refuse to cede power peacefully, we end up with violence.
Nothing about the checks and balances are broken, what’s broken is the percentage of the population that just doesn’t care their representative isn’t actually doing their job.

Shockingly you won’t find a single republican on Trump ally on the list because those aren’t credible…
There’s 0 chance Johnson is going against Trump, this is all theater so when Trump’s name magically isn’t connected to Epstein they can pretend like it’s a legitimate list.

Personally drive a truck full of food/water/clothing for people displaced? Literally just show up and offer your condolences to your contituents (regardless of how obviously fake it’d be)?
Like, basic human things you should be doing to show that you care about the people you supposedly represent? Vs: fuck it, I’m on vacation, they’ll still be dead when I get home.
Guess what: politicians for all their grand standing about lazy entitled welfare recipients work about 130 total days a year, he can go see the parthenon some other time.
You say that as a joke… I could see Trump hopping on that train. Truth Social - worth at LEAST $200B, which the government will pay direclty to Trump as compensation for making the platform the national social media platform of America.
But she really, really wasn’t. And she wasn’t even Egyptian, she was Macedonia Greek (and it shows).

a9cx34udP4ZZ0@lemmy.worldto Collapse@lemm.ee•World's wealthiest 10% have contributed to two-thirds of global warming since 1990, study finds22·3 months agoHow about instead of turning this issue into class warfare as well, they just point out that CORPORATIONS are driving 90% of global emissions. Said corporations love studies like this because then they can blame the population by spewing such nonsense as “well if you didn’t buy our product we wouldn’t create the emissions”.
There you have it folks, if you just stopped eating food, global warming would be solved. It couldn’t POSSIBLY be that governemnts should create things like emissions standards to drive down pollution.
What’s that 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies? Nope, it’s the richest 10% of the population that need to fix this, not the corporations (which in turn would punish the .1% who make all their wealth off those companies). Joe Shmoe and his wife making a combined $100k/year need to stop driving their car and ride that bus, that’ll SURELY fix the problem.
It wasn’t a file, it was a webpage. And it loaded infinite popups showing a dude’s gaping anus, turned the volume up to 100%, and played a loop of “Hey everyone, I’m looking at gay porno!”

At one point in time at least, they were only leaving $10m to each child, with plans to donate everything else.
Is that enough to live better than 99.99% of us? Absolutely. But it’s also not: I can do whatever I want and buy whatever I want and never have to think about money again.
Much like the US, they can simultaneously have an economy that SHOULD collapse, but also be so ingrained in global trade that nobody is actually willing to call them to the carpet.
If China were Greece, they’d probably have gone bankrupt multiple times already.

Plaintiff Abrego Garcia is not a member of or has no affiliation with Tren de Aragua, MS-13, or any other criminal or street gang. Although he has been accused of general “gang affiliation,” the U.S. government has never produced an iota of evidence to support this unfounded accusation.

Trump’s attempts at “proving” he was MS-13 was a laughably bad photoshop of “ms13” across his knuckles that took exactly 5 seconds of searching to disprove.
Why is the walking buddy holding hands? Are they letting you know Kevin is single and ready to mingle?

Literally went to high school with a kid who was insufferable, a prick to everyone. One day he started bullying one of my buddies who proceeded to beat the shit out of him. He told his football coach he ran into a mailbox on his bike when he had to explain his face looking like it did. After that he was the nicest kid ever - he realized “being tough” wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. I guarantee a few of these kids just need to get punched in the face one time and they’ll start rethinking the “alpha male” ideology.
Can we not pretend to be as dumb as the flat-earth tumpers?
Her family came out and stated she suffered from epileptic seizures, and believed that was cause of death. There’s literally nothing worse than the family having closure, and being continually harassed about the death of a loved one because of psychotic internet conspiracy theorists. There is no basement in this pizza parlor.

That fad is clearly going away, and by gutting the American auto industry’s ability to grow their EV market share, we’ll clearly be poised for global dominance.

I wonder what the fuck he thinks would happen in this autocratic government he wants to live in if he said something the ruling party disagreed with? “Being fired” would be the least of his concerns.
Oh, right, per the interview he thinks an autocracy will perfectly align with all of his beliefs so he’ll be “protected”.
