The Bamboozlement Of Innocents

She was bargaining on Facebook.

She asked friends with dead relatives.

She scored some in parking lots.

"Elite squads"?

Let's suppose Trump's henchmen are clever enough to wrangle it so all the paperwork is done ahead of time, and then they make their move to round up brown people - which could maybe help them avoid the "bad optics" of concentration camps. It's not likely, because part of the deal is to be shitty with brown people so white people can feel superior - but anyway, let's say they figure that out.

Question: Are they also clever enough to strong-arm other countries into agreeing to take all of our deportees?

They may indeed have thought about that too, and there's a greater-than-zero probability that some other countries would accept them as - oh, I dunno - slave labor? I'm sure they'll call it something that sounds more benign, like "Contract Labor", or some other bullshit term. (can you say "human trafficking? I knew you could)

Some enterprising young man will surely see the opportunity to turn a buck or two - why waste such a valuable commodity? And shucks, while we're at it, since we've off-shored a shitload of our other stuff, let's off-shore the genocide business too. Outa sight, outa mind - and our hands are clean - it's those other guys.

But not all the people we're trying to "deport" are going to be accepted by our partners.

What happens to them?

When you stop and think about it, which candidate is more likely to have somebody like that guy at their rally?

And there's something about that sheriff that rings a bell - like he put up a rant or an ad or something that showed him to be a radical "sheriffs are everything" kinda guy.

I'll try to find that out.

edit: and there it is

Typical

Because if they aren't just a buncha whiny-butt pussies, then they're weak-brained and easily fooled by cynical manipulators who need to inflate people's egos so they'll stay distracted from being fucked with their pants on.

Overheard

The trouble with conspiracy fantasies is that even a total lack of evidence is not taken as a compelling reason to dismiss it, but rather, it's taken to mean that it's so wide-spread that only few clever souls have "done the research" and can see through the lies and coverups.

You might as well tell me there are elephants hiding the tree tops, and the reason we never see them is that they're really good at it, and we're all elephant blind.
