These traitors are so eager to deport people that they'll even deport themselves to make it happen. That's dedication.

It's supposed to be outside the scale, like a fuel gauge before you start the car. Which I agree is not great, but I can see what they were going for.

Interesting. I didn't click anything because I viewed it via archive.

Yeah, but that's a biased way to show the ranking. Either it shouldnt show anything or should default to fair.

I believe that graph doesn't show a measure until you click an option. I clicked it and the most common response was 'Fair'.

"ICE officers continue to feel ill with symptoms such as coughing, difficulty breathing, fever, and achy joints. These symptoms align with bacterial upper respiratory infection...

They could stop this at any time by returning all of them to the US.

"Judge Murphy wrote in a court order that the administration "manufactured chaos" by proposing overseas proceedings, then objecting to their own request."

"The Department of Homeland Security said the situation was "endangering" both agents and detainees, while advocates for immigrants argue that U.S. authorities have the option of returning the men to the United States for resolution."

They're deporting themselves now too? That's efficient.

This is divine intervention, like the Christmas Carol, but in Africa.

I hope they see how fucking terrible they have been, but that would require introspection (which we know they don't have).

What are the chances this opens some eyes / forces development of empathy? (I asked rhetorically

u/einkorn@feddit.org · 15 points

Reality appears to have a strong bias to the left. /s

I think it was pretty clear we only have to attempt to facilitate, not not to effectuate, their return.

I hope they fester and rot so it shows what they truly look like on the inside.
