    I can chew gum and walk at the same time.

    ICE killing Renee and Alex are absolute fascist crimes and need to be fully persecuted.

    Also, fuck this lady and her Trump voting ass.

    Trump incited an insurrection that KILLED people, did she mourn those as well when she voted for that orange piece of shit??

    I would bet my next paycheck that this woman stays Republican, and continues voting R religiously. At most, they’ll skip one election.

    After reading the entire article, I see nothing in there that suggests that she will reconsideranything.

    The vibe I get from her quotes is that she’s one of those special kinds of idiots who believe these things are happening without Trump’s approval, and it was really people like Bovino and Noem who were doing these things against Trump’s wishes.

    Trump actually really wants what’s best for Americans, and it’s these individual cabinet members who are going rogue and doing the bad things.

    It’s a fucking mental illness at this point.

    This is nothing more than divisive ragebait. Who gives a shit? The story should be that ICE has murdered several innocent people, bystanders, and got away with it. While you’re at each other’s throats, they keep getting away with it.

      No, fuck that, Republicans need to face the fact that the people they vote for will kill their children. She voted for anti-immigrant violence, and she got what she voted for. Let her be a warning to others.

        I don’t agree that this is rage bait. I think these people need to see shit like this. It’s the only fucking way these people can ever seem to learn anything.

        They need to be shown that there are consequences for voting in and supporting fascists, and they’re not immune simply because they support the people doing it.

    “It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

    No, she definitely could have protected Renee by not voting for someone determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.

      You know she isn’t referring to Trump when she says this. It’s people like Kristi Noem and Greg Bovino who were going rogue and doing all of this against Trump’s orders.

      He loves and cares about Americans and only wants to protect us from the scary immigrants.

      With MAGA people, the buck stops literally anywhere but with Trump. Nothing bad is ever his fault.

      Assuming that they ever spoke, didn’t her mother vote against her daughter’s interest?

      I was under the impression that Renee Good was married to a lady and they had a kid or two.

      I can’t help but think of the qanon revealing-all-the-child-abusers conspiracy theory and Irony.

      The whole thing makes me sad.

      I feel like I’m going fucking crazy, like this didn’t happen already. He turns the entire American public against him, they vote him out so overwhelmingly that even their election fraud and foreign interference and owning all media outlets can’t save him, and then the entire country gets fucking amnesia and swallows the propaganda hook line and sinker, rinse and repeat.

        I’ll say that what the public really were trying to vote out was the reality brought on by COVID and how that was handled.

        Now, COVID is ‘done’, they can convince themselves that anyone would have been screwed up in that situation, and even if they screwed it up, well, that is done.

        So back in 2024, trying to vote out the inflation.

        Basically every election since 2018 has been about voting out whatever is currently going on.

      This isn’t “far” right. This is how conservatism has always been. Conservatives are genuinely evil.

      Remember how they celebrated the deaths of gay people by AIDS and by gay-bashing from the 80’s through the 90’s. They fucking CELEBRATED the deaths.

      Conservatives also did everything in their power to defund and delete any AIDS research and prevent any police agencies from committing any resources to stop the violence against queer folk. Oppression has ALWAYS been part of their political platform.

      This isn’t the far right. It’s just plain old conservatism, just as it’s always been throughout all human history. Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. It is immoral to keep a relationship with any of them. Disown them all.

        Oh by the way, it’s not a criminal offence to be in a country illegally. It’s a civil matter. Being an illegal immigrant should not be a death sentence.

                She was divorced, had an 8yo kid from a previous marriage, and her partner at the time of her murder was another woman. Renee Good was queer as fuck, and very open about it. And her mom voted for people like her daughter to be killed.

                She got the day she voted for. And now she’s upset about it.

      Read “Throw you a bone” in the same way you throw a rock to someone and not how you throw leftovers to dogs. Trump hasn’t helped anyone that has kissed his ass, only those that give him cash, and even then…
