I’ve never really understood why Maher is popular. He’s such a slimy fuck.

I remember watching Religulous when it came out and him asking a guy playing Jesus at a theme park (what a world we live in) to explain how the trinity could work - how can something be three different things at once. Jesus responded that it’s like how water can be in three different states. Maher just mocked the guy later alone to camera. I thought to myself - now there is a disingenuous prick. He just answered your question in good faith with with a reasonable response and you walk away and mock him. Nothing I’ve seen since has improved my opinion of the guy.

That really deserves to be in the old internet content thread.

“Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies”

What’s Title VI?

“prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin”

Completely fucked

There are people in plain clothes, no IDs, grabbing people from courtrooms and whisking them away to unmarked vehicles. The right to due process is under attack.

Fucking hell.

Theyve just announced ICE agents dont need warrants to enter properties


They’re deporting US citizens now, with no due process. 2 year olds!

Someone needs to let all the 2A nutters know that the tyranny they’ve been preparing for is finally here.

Satire from our future overloads.

Combined with this …

I’m sure it’s fine, and that nobody has anything to worry about.

Sorry, I should say “nobody white has anything to worry about.”

There’s now talk that they’ve deported kids that have full US citizenship, one of which was being treated for cancer. Fucking hell this decent to madness is just terrifying to watch. Will be VERY interesting to see what happens in the midterms and whether there will be a Democrat wall getting elected. Trump has the lowest approval rating in his first 100 days of Presidency for the last 70 years (I wrote incorrectly earlier that it was the lowest ever). But the question will then be, what happens if Trump loses control of Congress and the House? Will he accept it, or will he just stop the act and go all in?
