The Growing Thirst for Cruelty

Again, I don’t know what stupid voters were thinking last fall. Did they forget that this guy asked the proud boys to “stand by?” Did they forget that he promised to pardon all those Jan 6 losers? What were voters thinking? Oh yeah, the media told them egg prices or something.

Meanwhile, how’s inflation now? Fixed? How’s your grocery bill? Probably like half of what it used to be under Biden, right?

At the end of the day you did this to yourselves.
 
Another recruitment ad for ICE.

I want to know what the human trash cans who voted for this were thinking last fall. What did they think mass deportations meant? What did they think about the guy who was claiming that immigrants were “poisoning the nation’s blood? Now many of them act surprised when the guy who accused black people of eating pets is producing this ****?

America might just have a fatal flaw; we host some of the world’s dumbest most racist most bored and most boorish voters. We empower the dumbest in our country to rule the majority. This with values completely alien to modernity, are the ones wielding the power of the state because we’ve failed to update our constitution to meet the needs of society as a whole.

What good is a gerrymandered house?
When has the senate passed anything that the majority of the population wanted?
And the Supreme Court? LOL. We all know that 2/9 are bought off trolls. And we already know the outcome of all cases 6-3.

We don’t have to live like this. But we also need an electorate that can actually give a **** about substance for 3 mins instead of constantly falling for the nonsensical propaganda. “eGg PrIcEs”

Los Angeles Unified School District leaders are calling for limits on immigration enforcement near campuses after a 15-year-old boy with disabilities was pulled from a car, handcuffed, and briefly detained outside Arleta High School on Monday in what officials describe as a case of mistaken identity.

The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, just days before more than half a million LAUSD students return to classrooms. According to Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, the student — who attends San Fernando High School — had gone to Arleta High with his grandmother to accompany a relative registering for classes.

While the family member was inside, several officers approached their vehicle, telling them they were not with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, Carvalho said district-reviewed video appeared to show both police and Border Patrol personnel.

The boy was removed from the car and placed in handcuffs.

“As our students return to school, we are calling on every community partner to help ensure that classrooms remain places of learning and belonging,” Carvalho said. “Children have been through enough — from the pandemic to natural disasters. They should not have to carry the added weight of fear when walking through their school gates.”

The teen was eventually released after school staff and Los Angeles police Intervened.

“The release will not release him from what he experienced,” Carvalho said during a news conference. “The trauma will linger. It will not cease. It is unacceptable, not only in our community, but anywhere in America.”

These men are the real heroes, those guys who died on the beaches in Normandy, who fought at Iwo Jima, veterans of the GWOT, these men are cowards. Real men brutalise children, that's a mans duty, terrifying disabled children. And lets face it, the little bastards have it coming, if they didn't want to be brutalised they'd have the good sense to be born white. Great country America, honestly I don't think I will ever return.
 

A gray-haired black gentleman, there to wash his car, reportedly chewed out the thugs at such length, and slowed them down, that they ended up tackling him and arresting him. We would like to know who this gentleman is and where he is… (Update – on Sunday KCAL reported that his name is Dominguez, he was arrested for – not throwing a water bottle at the agents but – gesturing like he was gonna do so, and he was released Sunday.)

In any case Mr. Dominguez was the only person ICE managed to arrest at the Euclid Carwash – an innocent bystander sticking up for the workers – and so, in their frustrated rage, they felt tear-gassing the crowd was also necessary.





“The cemetery of living men”:

 

— In what migrant advocates are calling “a major victory for the rights and dignity of immigrant children,” a federal court struck down the Trump’s administration’s bid to end a law that mandates children held in federal custody be housed in humane and safe conditions.

The Flores Agreement of 1997, requires the federal government to treat children in immigration custody humanely, hold them in the least restrictive settings, prioritize release to family, and provide access to basic necessities such as clean water, food, medical care, and safe, sanitary living conditions.

Last Friday, a judge ruled that children, whether accompanied by their families or arriving alone, are entitled to these basic human rights and blocked the government from detaining children indefinitely in inhumane, unlicensed, or dangerous facilities.

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee issued her ruling, finding that, “the court remains unconvinced — There is nothing new under the sun regarding the facts or the law. Thus, it is the Government that continues to bind itself to the Flores Settlement Agreement by failing to fulfill its side of the Parties’ bargain. In light of the foregoing, the Court again DENIES Defendants’ MTT.”

“The Court’s vindication of Flores is a victory that belongs to each and every immigrant child currently detained by our government,” said Sergio Perez, executive director of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. “Children should be free and, barring that, they should be cared for in environments that respect their basic human rights and essential needs. So long as that is not the case, Flores provides an essential avenue for transparency and accountability.”

According to Perez, the decision comes at a critical moment as immigrant children and families are increasingly subjected to prolonged detention in isolated, prison-like conditions.

“The government’s attempt to dismantle the Flores Agreement, which it has repeatedly violated would have thrown the door open to mass, indefinite detention of children without any enforceable standards for their care.”

Perez believes the Trump administration will not give up seeking to overturn the Flores Agreement.

Making cruelty comical again….


The facility will be dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink,” a play on Nebraska’s nickname of the Cornhusker State and an old slang term for jail. The alliterative name follows in the vein of the previously announced “Alligator Alcatraz” and “Deportation Depot” detention centers in Florida and the “Speedway Slammer” in Indiana.
 
I’m likely one of the older members of Jazzfanz. That being the case, it’s likely what my generation was taught from grammar through high school was perhaps more idealistic than reality would ever justify. I remember falling in love with American history very early. Not for a second did I question the assumption that we Americans always wore the white hats.

WE WERE A GOOD PEOPLE.

Can any of our resident trolls, can any of our nation’s Maga Americans understand why the death of that belief would hurt, and hurt like no tomorrow? Can MAGA understand many of us believe we are witnessing the final death knell of such a belief?

I’ve said it before, namely, that few things hurt more than seeing Americans become known, not as a good people, but for their cruelty. How can that not be heartbreaking? How do our trolls, how does MAGA in general, not feel such a devastating loss?? Well, maybe it’s as I intimated: maybe it’s my baby boomer generation that held to the ridiculous propaganda we were taught: Americans were a good people.
Certainly, in my case and many of my college bound generation at the time, the Vietnam War seriously eroded that image of “Americans wear the white hats”.

But Trump? He is destroying any notion that we are a good people.

I posted once before about the late Judge Caprio. And in the “notable passings” thread as well, since he died last week. How he came to be, quite possibly, the single most beloved citizen of America anywhere on Earth. That’s right, a case can be made. I read the comments, from nearly every country on Earth, on his Facebook “Caught in Providence” page. Everyone the world over praised his kindness.

Can we understand, what a contrast in feelings exist, in the hearts of people the world over, for a man they never met, the stark contrast in how the world felt about a simple traffic judge in the US, compared to the president of that nation? Can we see the difference between responses to KINDNESS and responses to CRUELTY?

I was naive, my generation was naive, sons and daughters of the Greatest generation, all very naive.

But, the belief that we were a good people is what is largely motivating the anti-Trump movement. It is only right and proper that those who believe in the goodness of man oppose a leader who would tell the world that America is all about cruelty now.

So, another clip of Judge Frank Caprio. Because he represented everything that is good about, and kind, and compassionate, in the heart of Mankind. He represented the best of us, and the outpouring of love at his passing is in stark contrast to how the world regards Donald Trump, and his effort to elevate cruelty as our defining attribute.

Is this so bad, MAGA? Are our trolls that enamored of cruelty for cruelty’s sake? How can cruelty be regarded as preferable to kindness?

I should have learned long ago, and I thought I did. But, no, that silly belief in our goodness persists and drives my opposition to Donald Trump.




Bottom line: to good people, kindness is a strength. Kindness is not a weakness. But to Donald Trump: there is no greater weakness than human kindness. Think about that, and just how wrong that really is. It’s born of insecurity. Nobody can say otherwise of the man, massive insecurity lies behind the thinnest skin imaginable. And it’s the heart of a bully.

Strong men are compassionate. Strong men understand being kind is not a sign of weakness. Donald Trump has never understood that. It’s the difference represented by millions mourning the passing of an obscure judge and the millions that will figuratively piss on Trump’s grave when he passes.

Around 40 percent of the country believes empathy and kindness are weaknesses and want a right wing dictator.
