"I'm over here committing human rights violations left and right and you assholes haven't lifted a finger to try and stop me!"

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 37 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That is a bold statement coming from an administration who is rounding up people to be put in prisons under terrible conditions

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

oh no, those prisons don't have conditions

[–] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 3 points 2 days ago

"we towed it outside the environment"

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I mean, that's sort of the joke. Just ICE Spiderman pointing at MET Spiderman.

Starmer's out there doing Liberal Fascism to satisfy a bunch of Zionists who won't be happy until Nigel Farage has his head on a pike. Not unlike how Biden, Hochul, and Adams handled the Columbia student protests.

Trump gets in a few face punches because his liberal opposition are too busy fishing in their pants for AIPAC donations.

Less prison, more camp for concentrating abductees.

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 55 points 3 days ago

Pretty bold statement coming from the mouth of fascist America.

The problem is that we don't have kettles in the US. And there's no reason for the pot to call the 'microwave you use on your water' black.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 55 points 3 days ago

Pot-kettle assholes.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The UK is officially too evil for Trump

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The complaint is that they're not doing enough forced platforming of fascists.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

No it's that they banned organized protesting and require ridiculous things like ID for online and licenses for watching TV

[–] RagingSnarkasm@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Every accusation is an admission.

They did the same with Germany. The US is not able to conduct independent evaluations anymore, as the authorities are more and more driven my political decisions. This makes the content of the evaluations irrelevant, their only purpose now is to use them as political instruments.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 hours ago

Trump's doing all he can to help his fellow fascists. For example, by complaining about German anti-Nazi laws that could (and should) be applied to AfD.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (14 children)

I mean thats true but this is one of the few times they are right. UK and Germany as well are really failing at upholding human rights.

They did the same with Germany.

Germans murdered my family in the Nazi genocide. Now Germany is targeting me for protesting Israel’s Holocaust in Gaza.

Coming from Trump, it's more of a "They can do it, so why can't we do it?" fascist whining. But West Germany remained a fascist enclave from the 1950s straight up until the 1980s. And fascists continue to riddle the police, the media, and the financial sectors to this day.

This makes the content of the evaluations irrelevant

It's a pot calling the kettle Nazi. But it isn't wrong.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 18 hours ago

They did the same with Germany.

Not for suppressing pro-Palestinian protests: for considering using their anti-Nazi laws to ban AfD.

Bold coming from pedophile fascists...

Every time I see Vance, I want to piss on his face

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 18 hours ago

That's horrible. With all that piss on his face, when I shit on it, it won't stick.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How do you expect me to punch him after that?

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With piss fist for 3x damage

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

New One Punch Man ultimate attack!

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

he might like that.

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

No self-awareness of any kind

"Also Prince Andrew was a personal friend of Epstein!"

Broken clock is right twice a day.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You mean when the hand is pointing backwards towards themselves? Otherwise I'm not following this adage. 😅

[–] angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Like, you see the news coming out of the UK right? It's not as bad as Trump but it's still awful.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

No the shit I'm hearing from the UK makes Trump seem tolerable

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

No the us is failing to uphold human rights sure thats true but so is the UK. Hypocrisy doesn't make the statement "the United Kingdom is failing to uphold human rights" untrue.
