Remember when Lemmy hated her for following "You don't have to endorse Harris, you can just vote and that's enough" like so many people said? And then she did and people hated her for not endorsing Harris but still voting for Harris?
Looks like some still are mad at her for it.
I remember
Any criticism of fascism means you're threatening violence against innocent brownshirts.
Say FDT? Congrats, you're going to jail for making an attempt on the president's life.
Here was the response to Roan's comments:
The next day, in a statement to TMZ, DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”
In a separate event...
In September, Hacks actor Hannah Einbinder closed her Emmys speech by saying, “Go Birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine!” In a response given to TMZ, DHS’s McLaughlin issued a statement saying rhetoric like Einbinder’s is “inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement,” which she claimed was “facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.” No data backs up McLaughlin’s claim about a dramatic increase in anti-ICE violence, per Oregon Public Broadcasting.
“As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans,” McLaughlin continued.
Yes, people saying "Fuck ICE" are fanning the flames. It sure isn't all the borderline legal and straight up illegal things being done by the regime. Couldn't be.
it is actually 1,000% increase in ICE assaults against minorities.
facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.
Let's bump those numbers up. The only good fascist....
1000% increase. Theres a reason they dont mention the actual figures is because its <100 cases and also their classification of 'assault' is sometimes people yelling or gesturing angrily and startling them.
Do you also consider that this is an absolutely tiny increase given how agressive and rapidly scaled the ICE threat is to american citizens?
Im suprised it isnt thousands of number of assaults given how immoral and legally questionable their actions are.
Idiot speaker Johnson classified the nude bike ride in Portland as the worst attack. That should tell you something about the rest.
I agree pedophiles are bad, so does the DHS now support the release of the Epstein files?
Better yet, look into the arrest of Tom Alexandrovich. He's a pedophile who was arrested in Las Vegas last August for soliciting a 15 year old and DHS let him escape the country because he's an Israeli with ties to Netanyahu.
Pedophiles have become a damn smokescreen in your country and the worst part is that it works. I have in my life time not read about slany efforts to combat child abuse in america on a federal level but id love to hear that i am wrong.
Mclaughlin is a joke and ICE doesn't face even close to the violence they deserve and not even a fraction of what they deal on a widespread daily basis, illegaly on top.
Fuck ICE and complacency. Praise to people standing up against them.
Children have always been used as tools. It's either we have to stop pedophiles or we have to "think of the children." Both excuses get used by both parties to strip rights away from us.
No, they have been fighting it in the 3 letter agencies. Trump probably shut those programs down though, with Doge.
Wait, so illegal immigrants are now pedophiles? That's the Department of Witch Hunt Conspiracies. Of course, the illegal immigrants weren't ever illegal, just calling this out because everyone with a fart's worth of a brain cell knows they're just trying to Nazi like a third grader would.
Are they trying to portray every single person abducted by ICE as a pedophile? Because only many tens of millions of utter morons would buy that.
One less ice agent is a better world. Take that how you will. Make the world a better place.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem responded directly to a parody of her in an episode of South Park that targeted the ICE raids, as well as her personally, in August. “It’s so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem said of the episode on the Glenn Beck Program podcast, per The Guardian. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t – they just pick something petty like that.”
But she's cool with all the jokes about her shooting dogs?
Really shows how fucked in the head she is. Doesn't see anything wrong with shooting dogs, doesn't even care that she's being made fun of for it. Only cares about herself. The very definition of a narcissist and psychopath.
Plus, when you go very far out of your way and spend who-fucking-knows-how-much taxpayer-funded salary to make yourself look batshit insane, you should be ridiculed for it. You chose that wretched, gnarled visage, now live with its hideous consequences.
No, you're right, Ms Noem. The men's appearances were not mocked at all by the South park team.
/s
The mini Vance always makes me chuckle.
Noem has more plastic in her than the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and it's severely affecting her ability to function as a real human being.
You see, she thinks shooting dogs is just plain funny, why would she be offended?
I always find it particularly weaselly when hard-right politicians try to invoke progressive values to deflect criticism back on their critics. As if she and her cadre aren’t obsessed with looks.
To be fair, I actually agree with her on this. Making fun of someone for how they look is lazy. Especially when there are so many other things that are so easy to pick apart. A general rule of thumb I have is to never make fun of someone about something they are, but something they do is totally fair game.
Because she is evil, facts don't matter to her. There is no debate. No one is being convinced of anything. Belittling fascists is a known nonviolent tactic that works because they are nihilistic narcissists. I'd never say demeaning things about strangers, but public figure Nazis are fair game for anything that bruises their ego.
This!
I think it's one thing to make fun of the Joseph Merrick, who has very little control over how he looks versus making fun of Kristi Noem who paid people to mutilate her for Trumps approval.
How is her plastic mold of a face not "something they do?" She wasn't born like that. Its something she chose and for her to start pretending like she has some moral high ground while disappearing people based on the color of skin they were born with makes her an even slimier subhuman person.
I think that's the line.
Making fun of someone for appearance they naturally have: off limits.
Making fun of someone's appearance choices: all in.
I don't know, I would say use whatever makes them anxious, go full on psychological warfare. If they are insecure about their natural looks, absolutely use it and make them embarrassed. I support going full bully against fascism.
While you are technically correct, I think it is fair to draw a line at Mar-a-Lago face. Ridiculing white supremacist bimbos who intentionally choose that look... I am kind of okay with that. Because the look itself is a symbol of hate.
She doesn't see why it's a problem to kill furry friends, and would continue to do so.
Noted Antifa Leader Chappell Roan... LOL.
DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”
Lol! So, that was a fuckin' lie.
Off the streets and into the Whitehouse.
It's true in the same way that the united states killed a bunch of pedos in Nagasaki. When you engage in mass indiscriminate violence you will manage to hit a few people who are universally detested
So Tricia killed Jeffrey Epstein? 🤔 No, Bill Barr
Wasn't she starting out this year gaslighting her fans and blaming them for associating her with politics even though she voluntarily had a public crash-out against Kamala over Palestine?
I just can't see her as the one people should rally behind since she seems to only want to engage with politics when it suites her, not whenever its genuinely important.
This is dumb. The point is to hurt them. All's fair in love and war folks.
They always like to say these idiots are law enforcement. Heck even our law enforcement needs more training hours to be in charge of legally killing someone on the clock.
If a few more wealthy celebrities take this kind of radical action, I'm sure things will change.
