Maybe some kind of high energy weight loss system like their role models used in the 1940s? This is bad juju. The detention camps from the first cycle with this fascists was nothing on what we're seeing ramping up here. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago (1 child) Don’t worry, they’ll find a way to pack people in.

Must be incredible how they scaled up while simultaneously closing camps and losing facilities to disrepair, apparently. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] socsa@piefed.social 34 points 2 years ago (1 child) This feels like "how many dead babies can you fit in a trash can?"

But I'm sure there will be all sorts of bipartisan and humanitarian oversight. Right? Right? It's not like you can just make a single "undocumented" person disappear. Let alone their whole nuclear family. What would the rest of their family say? Probably "can I crash in your attic". permalink fedilink source parent [+] futatorius@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 child) I think that's a bonus for Trump.
