    They told you they were going to do this. I had to dig up an older comment of mine and am just sitting back in terror watching it all occur in real time

    Women: he told you he’s taking your rights away and is already letting you die in hospital waiting rooms

    Tradesman: he told you overtime and unions are gone

    Veterans: he told you he hates you, pissed all over the sanctity of Arlington and is gutting the VA

    Hispanics: he told you you and yours are getting deported and doesn’t care if you’re legal or not

    Those on social security, Medicare, Medicaid or ACA: he told you he’s cutting/gutting these

    Anyone with ties to Palestine: he told you he’s going to help Israel finish the job

    If he voted, he should be a citizen and his wife should have a green card. I’m guessing he misspoke about the court date for “citizenship” - maybe there was some technicality there, maybe the paperwork hadn’t gone through yet.

    But it’s not surprising. The legal process is far from perfect, and with authoritarian measures like this there’s bound to be people who are caught up in it who shouldn’t be.

    The man told CBS News Miami his message to the president: “If I get a chance to talk to you, man — please, man — let’s work something out. Let me keep my wife here in the United States. She deserves to be here.”

    And he still thinks trump gives a shit about him and would even entertain having a conversation with him.

    And fuck this guy… why does his wife deserve to be in the US and not all of the other people who were grabbed?

      There were some riots and fights between Kurds and Turks where I live. Both sides were aggressive, but the Turks started it days earlier. Some Kurds then beat up some teenage Turks. Erdogan, the Turkish president, called the boys personally to support them after the media reported on it.

      Long story short, these asshole politicians will use whatever fuel they can use.

      They didn’t believe he would. They thought he would hurt the people who they wanted to hurt, but leave them alone as a silent exception, like so many other things did.

      Survivorship Bias - or something similar. If it hasn’t happened to them, most people don’t care until it directly affects them. Even if it affects their friends or family, sometimes that isn’t enough.

    No sympathy for the husband. I feel bad for the wife for being deported AND for being married to a MAGA idiot that stabbed her in the back.

        It would be if they were just sending her back home, but they’re going to put her into a detainment camp and bad things happen there.

        Yes, technically there is government oversight, but the oversight is handled by the kind of people that volunteer to run detainment camps.

      It’s amazing how quickly non-fascists become fascists when the opportunity for schadenfreude presents itself.

      Sucks that an innocent is paying the price for being married to a collaborator.

    The man’s wife, who’s Venezuelan and has lived in the U.S. for a few years, had a court date set up and “everything was good” until that moment.

    “They just came and they snatched her,” the man said.

    That’s what you voted for dummy.

      Him quoted begging Trump to let his wife stay. Perfect poster boy of all these fucks. The rules are for everyone but them, and him suddenly being affected by the rules he has been voting for and yelling about for years and he doesn’t even have a flash of reflection.

      It’s not “oh wait. Maybe these rules are terrible, like half the population has been screaming, and maybe we should be looking for better solutions that don’t fuck people over.”

      It’s “but not me right bro? Fuck everyone else but obviously not me.” - worthless no-name schmuck who has never considered he isn’t the hero even his own story, and is hardly an NPC to the likes of Trump.
