Welcome once again to the Asylum, my dear readers. In case you hadn’t heard the latest gibbering nonsense from the blue-haired land whales, Trump has once again proven beyond doubt his Nazi bona fides to the point we should expect him to sport a very tightly trimmed toothbrush moustache any day now.
How could anyone doubt the absolute evil of Trump's policy to round up criminals who are in our country illegally, detain them, and then send them out of our country, per our laws? How could anyone not see that it is precisely the same as Hitler rounding up German citizens who had committed no crime based only on their ethnicity, faith, or group membership? Then Hitler imprisoned them in camps and ghettos where they were starved, worked to death, tortured, experimented on, and murdered by the millions. Rounding up criminals and then flying them to another country that wants them, where they are released, or returning them to a country, where they left to escape prison sentences, to face the justice they fled from is the same thing. Why can’t the MAGA cult see this?
Trump even set up a concentration camp in Florida where they feed these peaceful MS-13 migrants to alligators. It is right in the name ‘Allegator Alcatraz.’ This is about taking our government’s crimes out of public view and has nothing to do with land already owned, with utility access already in place, in an out-of-the-way location, perfect for a detention center that would save taxpayers millions by setting up in a new place (here). Its out-of-the-way location makes it difficult for the detainees to have 24/7 access to counsel (here). Unless they want to hide something, there is no reason for the detention center to be so far out in the middle of nowhere. We all know how much people like to have prisons built next to more populated areas, just like Californians like low-income housing built next to their neighborhoods (here, here, and here). Lawmakers report inhumane temperatures of 85 degrees inside this internment camp (here). Its not like the structures used are similar to those that housed United States military members all throughout the War on Terror (here and here).
These racist MAGA people act like there is a problem with the 8-15 million people (no one knows for sure), mostly military-aged men from all over the world, who crossed the border from 2021 to 2024 seeking a better life, is a problem. Other than racism, there is no reason to rush all these deportations or detain these people before their day in court. Only a third don’t show up for their court dates when let go into our country (here), and why can’t we just keep the compassionate Biden policy of letting almost everyone stay, even those the court ordered to leave (here). It isn’t like there were over 300,000 minor children lost and whistleblowers reporting the government knowingly turned them over to traffickers (here, here, here, here, and here). All these migrants want is a better life; it isn’t like they have increased crime, taken over apartments, killed and raped innocents (here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).
Then there are Trump’s masked goons from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), hiding their identities so they can be the totalitarian shock troops of Trump’s private Schutzstaffel (SS), rounding up the criminals. It isn’t like Democratic politicians and leftists have threatened their lives, families, and homes, or attacked, doxed, and accosted their families (here, here, here, and here). There is no reason these MAGA SS cowards in ICE would wear masks except to spread fear; it is obvious.
Now, with no authority and no reason other than power, the capital has fallen, and Trump has claimed it for his permanent seat of power. There was no reason to federalize law enforcement in the Federal District of Colombia. It isn’t like the District of Columbia hasn’t seen a decrease in crime lately, to a murder rate of 27.5 per hundred thousand. That doesn’t make it less safe than Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City, or Islamabad, Pakistan, which had murder rates of 15.1, 10.6, and 9.2 per hundred thousand people (here). The way Trump took over, you would think that section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act allowed the president to take over for 48 hours without notifying anyone. 30 days if he tells Congress, and as much over 30 days as Congress will allow (here). The MAGA cult acts as if police commanders are
