Yes, let's talk about her stupid story instead of the concentration camp she just opened.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 46 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m betting the person injured themself to get off the plane. Maybe with their teeth. ICE was making fun of it, calling him a cannibal and dumbass Noem just believed it word for word.

She doesn’t seem like someone who gets jokes, even bad ones.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I'm betting this person is entirely fictional and created to paint the innocent people they're kidnapping off the street as deranged maniacs.

She does seem like the sort of person to make up racist lies.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 3 points 1 day ago

Noem is no dumbass, but she plays a convincing one on TV.

Remember when you needed proof to say stuff and have people believe you? Nowadays you can say whatever the fuck you want with fake numbers and straight up lies and people will believe you if you have any kind of charisma or authority.

[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

Well they don’t have any charisma but perception differs, Right?

Nowadays? Isn't this exactly what Hitler did?

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah this isn't the first time ever

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

But this time it’s different because everyone has every chance to have full access to the information leading up and still chose pain. So there’s that.

Ah, looks like the old "eat yourself entirely, so you are invisible, then when the plane is on the return flight, you poo yourself back out again" trick.

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly?

She's the trolls queen, she's just can't be true.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, I'm Italian and I don't know what that means.

His name was Hannibal Lector.

Weird shit republicans say for a thousand, Alex.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

The "late, great" Hannibal Lector.

Kristi, RFK Jr called. He wants his brain worm back.

Have you seen a man eating his own head?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Then you haven't seen everything. And neither have we.

Why are they eating the skinny guy? The big guy is far more nutritionally dense.
