I think South Sudan would be a fine deportation site. ---

This isn’t exactly a voter who voted the wrong way and suffered but her town sure did…oops: > **[Trump Arrest of Immigrant Triggers Shock and Regret in Small MAGA Town](https://newrepublic.com/article/195952/trump-arrest-immigrant-triggers-shock-regret-small-maga-town)** > > An immigrant’s pending deportation has stunned Trump-supporting Missouri locals who have come to know and love her. Speaking to us on our podcast straight from jail, she makes a tearful, wrenching appeal. > Ming Li Hui, who goes by the name of “Carol,” has lived for 20 years in the town of Kennett, Missouri, after coming here from Hong Kong. She has been raising a family there and works as a waitress—and as _The New York Times_ [reports in a piece](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/us/missouri-immigrant-trump.html) featuring quotes from Carol and many locals, she’s well-liked in the community. But Carol was recently arrested and now faces potential deportation. ---

Absent evidence that Ms Hui voted for Trump I feel for her as a victim. But as for the town, fuck 'em. Compared to [300,000 dead](https://www.thetimes.com/us/american-politics/article/usaid-doge-deaths-children-cuts-7nb83dfkp) the loss of a beloved resident is nothing. ---

> Scardina says he voted for Trump and still supports many of the former president’s policies, but this isn’t what he signed up for. “Buyer’s remorse? I don’t know, a little bit,” he said. Hey fuckwit? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR. Enjoy your future unemployment and don’t expect there to be the safety net we’ve all come to assume will be there because you voted to get rid of that too. ---

I’m sorry, you thought Donald Trump would be cool with paper straws? > **[This Wisconsin father, business man mailed four boxes of straws to...](https://www.jsonline.com/story/money/companies/2025/06/12/the-lesser-of-two-evils-a-wisconsin-father-turns-to-paper-straw-manufacturing-inspired-by-his-daught/84074322007/)** > > The paper converter in Northeast Wisconsin is dedicating his business to producing paper straws, inspired by his daughter and a desire for a greener world. > He acquired machinery, including equipment to cut, compress, and seal paper into straws, in February and soon found that his new product line was disfavored by the Trump administration. I don’t know how anyone can be a “longtime supporter of the president” and not be aware of his thoughts on anything woke, of which paper straws certainly are. ---

A bit ago I looked up a scene from the 1987 _Dragnet_ comedy movie. In which I was reminded that Sgt Friday’s nemesis was an evil gang called the P.A.G.A.N. s: **P** eople **A** gainst **G** oodness **A** nd **N** iceness Which pretty well summarizes the worldview of trump, all trump staffers, and most trump supporters.

While producing paper straws is clearly a crime worthy of Alcatraz, sending boxes of them to the President is clearly an attempted assassination, so I hope he enjoys El Salvador. /Sarcasm . . . or is it? ---
