How has Former President Trump pissed you off today?

“My rally in Toledo was huge! A huge success, believe me. They had to turn people away who wanted to see me. Great people there. Looking out at that crowd of white faces made me really proud to be who I am. The lying media will say that not many people turned out. Can you believe that? You can’t trust them. They lie about everything. After the rally, a man came up to me, he was in tears. A big man, really big. And he was in tears. “Sir”, he said to me… “Sir, you’re the only hope for our country.” And you know, I had to agree with him.”

Lord, how I wish nobody had corrected him and the tangerine turn actually went to Toledo.

Everyone in the administration and on Fox would either claim it was a deliberate move to own the libs, or claim that there really was a mass shooting in Toledo, just like in Bowling Green.

That’s an awful thing to wish on Toledoans.

Mike Pence would claim it was a religious pilgrimage. After all, the city is holy.

PBS News Hour just saw the worthless piece of crap saying how he has ordered the FBI to identify all resources they need to combat hate groups, especially white supremacists. To quote the scum-sucking twerp: “Hate has no place in America”.

FUCK OFF! The lousy lying lump of loathsomeness campaigned on hate, compliments white supremacists, and revels in bigotry.

Why is he still alive, let alone president?

This. ALL of it. And he is STILL pushing the kind of “invader” shit that fuels the killings. Stochastic Terror. Saying shit, KNOWING that some white trash rightwing racist Trumpist piece of shit will get the signal.

@Snowboarder_Bo

You know how every Republican and gun nut says “oh, you shouldn’t politicize a tragedy” right after a shooting, as a way to stop discussion of gun control?

Have any of them called Trump out on his attempt to politicize the most recent shootings by calling for passage of an immigration reform bill?

:mad:

Fuck this guy and fuck his supporters.

Damn right.

[Euphonious_Polemic]

Trump and his Republican enablers want to start a race war. I don’t even think they care much about the racism that much - only that a race war is the only path they can see to getting Trump re-elected. And that’s all that matters to them.

It’s August in the Southern Hemisphere, too.

I think neither Kobal2 nor I are in the Southern Hemisphere, though. Unless the Hexagon has moved and nobody warned me, in which case global warming is worse than we thought.

To Imperial Toledo, to a meeting with VOX? “And there we were, in Tolido. Imperial Tolido, they call it. Very good, very good people, they call it Imperial Tolido, don’t know why. Did you know this guy Caaaah-los, he was an Emperor? He was a Roman Emperor! And he was a Republican, nobody knows that!”

ICE arrests 680 undocumented immigrants across Mississippi

Elizabeth Iraheta was passing the Koch Foods [chicken] processing plant in Morton, Miss., on Wednesday when she saw immigration officials swarming outside and a helicopter overhead. Big silver buses lined the driveway and agents blocked the entrance gates.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were sweeping through the workplace and rounding up all undocumented immigrants. By the day’s end, nearly 700 people would be arrested.
…

ICE raided seven work sites in six Mississippi cities on Wednesday, arresting hundreds of people that the agency said were undocumented. It was the largest single-state workplace enforcement action in U.S. history, The Post’s Abigail Hauslohner reports.

The raids were part of an investigation into illegal employment in the state, specifically at agricultural processing plants. Immigration officials would not tell The Post how many people they were targeting with the raid.
…

I’m sure regular citizens will be falling over themselves to fill those jobs, amirite? Because working in a chicken processing plant is a popular and highly desirable career path straight to the top.

Why Mississippi? Did they do something to piss off the president?

[bobot]

And certainly the companies will be prosecuted for providing those jobs. That was sarcasm.

What did Koch Foods do to piss off Trump?

@Wikipedia

Racial discrimination against farmers
Koch has been accused of discriminating against black contract farmers and retaliating against those that spoke out. From 2009 to 2015 the company went from having contracts with four black farmers in Mississippi to having none. USDA investigators found “evidence of unjust discrimination” against black farmers by Koch.[2]

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit
In 2012 the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission brought a class employment discrimination lawsuit against Koch alleging harassment of workers and discrimination based on national origin and race at Koch’s Morton, Mississippi plant.[4] The lawsuit alleged that workers were “subjected to touching and sexually suggestive comments, were hit, were charged money for normal everyday work activities” among other things.[5]

In 2018 Koch Foods paid $3,750,000 plus other relief to settle the case.

Koch Foods - Wikipedia (founded by a Fred Koch, but not the right one) Joseph Grendys sounds like Trump’s kinda guy.

Umm, dropzone, I read your quote and what in those actions would piss off Trump? He’d probably offer the guy suggestions, IMHO. (ETA: But in reading your post closer I think you know that already).

And it’ll be interesting to see what effect it has in agriculture production in Mississippi if they have a major exodus of illegal immigrants due to this…

Moi? I don’t have a sarcastic bone in my body.

Careful. The erstwhile moderator UncleBeer lives in Toledo. And he owns guns.

Also, I hear the chili dogs are pretty good there.

What makes this so sick and disgusting have been the news stories that there are children who literally have no parents to go home to. People are volunteering to house and feed them, since nobody thought to account for the needs of the American-born kids of these immigrants.

Oh, and I note that something like 300 of the people have been released. Due process? Probable cause? Quaint concepts, I know.

What’s the reason that the owners of these businesses weren’t arrested as well?
