News@lemmy.world•‘Everyone is being screamed at’: Insiders say Stephen Miller irate as deportations lagging
1·5 months agoSome say the money offer is luring veteran agents back and “insiders claim that the crash program has led to disorder, with some veteran agents performing minimal work for substantial pay and ballooning costs.”
My hope is that we win this passive aggressive, very poorly planned and executed war that’s going exactly like you would expect it to go. Lots of harm to innocent people who don’t deserve it, while the least deserving men hoard their profits and scream orders at their army to work harder and do the things they can’t do on their own.
I hope due process survives, and the men who are shrieking these orders will be given a fair trial at home and abroad, despite refusing that right to others. I also hope they spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars, and working off their debt to society in (unfortunately) more humane conditions than they deem fit for the innocent individuals they’re kidnapping and detaining.
However, if we lose the war, at least we know there will be no due process for the men that helped destroy it. I think it’s becoming pretty clear, that either way, we can probably look forward to the day their own army finally turns on Stephen Miller, and treats him to a good old fashioned Mussolini.*
The Metamorphoses of Mussolini’s Body
The vicissitudes suffered by his remains only served to confirm his prediction. The incoherencies and contradictions surrounding his death, which occurred on 28 April 1945, have subsequently fuelled an uninterrupted narrative which has become an integral part of his personal myth. The exact circumstances of his death, the ordeal of having his corpse publicly displayed in the piazzale Loreto in Milan, followed by the spiriting away of his remains from the city’s Musocco cemetery by young neo-fascists, all helped facilitate his political resurrection … Mussolini committed suicide using a cyanide capsule lodged in one of his teeth on 28 April 1945(*before he can swallow the cyanide capsule)

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•New Orleans ballot for clerk of criminal court runoff election today. Large boxes are city propositions. Tiny box in the top left corner is for the actual runoff...🔎English
1·5 months agoIt’s the size of the box not the fact that there’s no information about the candidates jfc
The size of the text for the names of the candidates is smaller than even the text of the small individual Yes/No boxes for the propositions.

0·5 months agoI think it says a lot that they keep bothering with this passive aggressive shit. Why bother trying to stack the deck in your favor if you truly didn’t need to worry about how it’s stacked?
Democracy is trapped under the boot of oligarchy and corruption, but I don’t believe it’s quite dead yet. Looks like Duncan won by ~67%
Calvin Duncan projected to win hotly contested criminal court clerk race against Darren Lombard






I went into a clothing store in the 90s and heard this song playing. I never heard it on the radio before or after that one day (I think it was in a fashion bug?), but it was memorable enough to stick in my head for the rest of that day and I seem to randomly remember it approximately once every decade.
Your post did it this decade.
