    It literally worked for 99.999% of Nazis. We only hung some of the top brass. And then we took the smartest ones and gave them great lives at NASA.

    I’m guessing whoever made this doesn’t know much about Operation Paperclip.

      Pretty sure the fascists in ICE aren’t the intellectual types who have anything to offer for scientific programs.

          “Intellectual” is a bit of a stretch, because sure many had degrees, but a lot of the “science” they did was just literal torture with ko scientific method or even recorded results. I have trouble calling that actual science.

            Von Braun was part of operation paperclip, and we definitely got an actual scientific benefit from bringing him to the US.

      It’s going to have to be different this time. We let them slide after the Revolution, the Civil War, and WWII, and it has led directly to the mess we are in now.

      If we survive this, it will be imperative that there are harsh punishments for ALL leaders, and all middle management. Street level traitors may not end up in prison, but they should be forced to go to political remediation classes, where they will be properly taught about the Constitution, American History, and Critical Thinking Skills. Recalcitrant “students” can have their sentences commuted to long prison sentences if they’d prefer.

    The agents that abused their authority need to be punished, but I would be more interested in punishing the people in power that enabled this mess or ignored what was going on.

    This is one of those things that can never be forgiven. There were so many instances of abuse of power.

    Too many to not notice

    Please promise to yourself right now that we will not let them be forgiven. We will not let whatever centrist Democrats convince us to “move forward” and “let us heal”. These officers need to be given Nuremberg Trials. If we get control of this government, EVERY one of these ICE agents who raided or abducted even one person, get sent to prison. I hope for life.

    I don’t care if they have kids, lovers, parents, friends, grandkids. After these years there will be people dead, permanently traumatized, and permanently disabled.

      And immigrants here legally as well. And because they’re ignoring due process and habeas corpus, I have no doubt, citizens who committed no crime soon (they’ve already kidnapped citizens and looted citizens homes, but haven’t exiled citizens yet, AFAIK).

      Edit: Forgot. Yes, they have already started kidnapping and exiling citizens who are minors.

      If you ever want to see 9f you’re on the right side of history, just look at your words:

      “Illegal people” is a vile concept.

            Also cite anywhere it states that the rights laid out in the constitution apply specifically to citizens only.

              Even if you were to concede that point, which to be clear, I absolutely do not, due process must be extended to everyone in order to know who is a citizen and who is not.

      Maybe we should lend less credence to a law making certain people illegal that was passed while the Nazis controlled Germany.

      Just so we’re clear, this isn’t Truth Social or X. Folks only engage with the bigots and racists here for fun. When it’s done being fun you just get blocked. If that’s an entertaining way for you to conduct yourself online, go right ahead.

        As a cishet white male in the USA, anyone afraid of being “replaced” should actually be replaced. Net positive for the country.

        And that was not what I was asking, was it. When Obama deported 3000000 people, where were your camps then. And if people are removed illegally yes that is wrong. But I am to shut up.

            Yes you are correct, but sometimes I do hope there is someone there. That realize it’s ok to think another way. That is after all, that got the human race were we are today.

      A person cannot be “illegal.”

      But they can be ignorant, bigoted, and hateful. Obviously.
