It was also in the Globe.

Because of course, the right wing rags would NEVER EVER be guilty of publishing something dishonest.  Besides, I don't see the gist of the article being that much different than elsewhere.
 

When the Economist and Globe are referred to as left leaning, I take stock and move on...

Credit to this NBC news station for airing a story about a MAGA supporter that's now in the "finding out" phase of realizing Trump doesn't care if his voters lose their businesses or not, so long as they deport the brown people out of the USA as fast as they can:

Trump voter in Florida Keys says ICE detained a third of his employees at small roofing company, “thought the administration was going to focus on deporting criminals, but seems immigration officials are just trying to meet quotas…”

The six men were heading to do a job for Vincent Scardina early on May 27th when they were stopped by immigration authorities on U.S. 1 in Sugarloaf Key.

According to an incident report from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies then transported some of the men to a detention facility in the Keys “for deportation.” Three have already been transferred to detention centers in Texas and California.

“It’s pretty obvious,” a coworker says, “the reason why they were pulled over is because they’re Latino men.”

At least 5 of the 6 men from Nicaragua are in the U.S. legally, says their attorney Regilucia Smith: “They are legally here. They have an authorization to stay… Valid work permit…no criminal records, not here, not in Nicaragua.”

Scardina, who’s lived in Key West for 44 year and owned the roofing company for 37, says, “You get to know these guys, you become their friends, just not an employer, but a friend, and you see what happens to their family. It’s… It’s quite a shock.”

“I know of one landscaper,” Scardina continues, “that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.”

In the video, I truly believe the guy looked at his employees are people, friends, and not just cheap labour. He does seem emotionally affected at losing them.

 

Such a sad, insecure, pathetic little wannabe dictator.

He's beneath contempt.

As per CTV, a Canadian has now died while being held in ICE custody:

'Johnny Noviello, a 49-year-old citizen of Canada in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was pronounced deceased by the Miami Fire Rescue Department June 23 at 1:36 p.m. The cause of death is still under investigation.'

He doesn't have the greatest background, having been involved in drug trafficking apparently, but he did serve his time for it.
Someone online pointed out:

The guy was a legal resident of the US and a citizen of Canada. He’d served his time and was appearing at his parole office for his appointment where he was grabbed. While not the best guy in the world, he was in the US legally and was trying to follow the law.

Keep in mind that the US government also now pays bounty hunters as well to grab folks off the streets, offering about $1000 to $1500US per undocumented immigrant. These are usually the ones who don't have the official uniform and are wearing masks.


 

Ever seen a president pitch their own line of fragrances?  It's impeachable, or would be if it were a Democrat president.

Is the scent is as classless as the bottle? This looks like something you would find at Dollarama, but he has a huge no-taste base so it will probably sell, with his classy gold runners!

Seeing his 'likeness' on those bottles, do you think that any of his moronic admirers can see what he really looks like?

For those who didn't see the news yesterday, Trump's insane "Big Beautiful Bill" passed both the House and Senate and is on its way to becoming law once Trump signs off on it. To repeat my prediction from earlier in this thread, any dictatorship needs a strong military force to keep its citizens in line when the inevitable protests and resistance begin to materialize. This bill increases the budget of ICE to TWENTY times what it is now, and for some perspective on just how big that is...



This bar chart is particularly eye-opening (note where Canada stands by comparison):


ICE includes people hired from white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys and it's not a shock to hear many referring to ICE as Trump's own paramilitary gestapo. They have been filmed snatching people off the street, at their workplace, attending court to their scheduled immigration court cases, shopping etc. literally being stuffed into vans by men in masks, sunglasses, and body armor. They can then be detained and sent off to that horrific El Salvador prison or the new "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, certain to be a inhumane disaster considering it will be underseen by the GOP's Rick "Deathsantis" whose incompetence during COVID-19 is well-documented.

The insidious way in which the right-wing has structured the bill, it first gives tax cuts to the billionaires immediately but the cuts to Medicaid won't be felt by the masses until (conveniently) AFTER next year's mid-term elections, when the suckers who are still voting Republican will finally realize how stupid they truly were:



A simple visual that shows right-wing politicians helping who they always help:


 

EXCERPT...
"The Murdochs have dedicated their careers to killing off our democracy (and ruining family and other personal relationships) with the propaganda machine of Fox News, while actual journalists must follow the norms of journalism, while often editorially under the thumb of corporate overlords — one truthful expression of opinion can get them canceled."

Anyone who can't, or won't, see where all this is going is willfully blind. Thank god most Canadians have a clear-eyed view of tRump and the MAGAts.
