Next you're going to tell me using someones artstyle to depict someone getting deported is not appropriate for the white house twitter
While I agree that it's not appropriate, that woman was a drug dealer who returned illegally into the USA - I will shed no tear for her.
You got a link for that? I'm not finding anything online linking Rumeysa Ozturk to anything related to drugs
No, Ozturk is suspected for supporting Hammas - maybe he's selling Fentanyl for Hammas? 😂 But if that's true, out she goes. If it's not, I hope she can sue their asses for defamation and whatever else can stick.
My bad, the illustration was supposed to be of Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, who has been accused of trafficking fentanyl. On the one hand, it seems encouraging that they had to find someone who could more credibly be presented as criminal -- hopefully an indication that their claims about the pro-Palestinian students and Argentinians with tattoos they've disappeared were not deemed credible enough by the general public.
Still, we only have the allegation of this administration against this person, so it's quite possible she's entirely innocent. It's not like they give a fuck about actual crimes or making our country safer. They just want to be seen as badasses.
Still less criminal than the admistration so very shaky ground for this claim.
All current drug problens themselves were created by republicans who they invented the drug war in the 70s intentionally to curtail free speech of Vietnam war protesters.
The drug over criminalization created the environement that directly leads to fentanyl being an optimal border crossing narcotic.
Drug dealers are more respectable right now than all administration members combined, even the "illegal" ones.
All very dubious for the most powerful country in the world, which rapes the entire planet for mineral ressources to call any human "illegal".
I speak for all humans when I say, this planet would be a lot better without the memetic infections known as America, China, Europe, India, Russia.
Maybe if they all had a nuclear fireworks party the survivors would have the opportunity to learn not to build those monstrous egregores.
Sure - I won't disagree there 😂
It always comes down to the USA having their little 2-party system. They seriously need to fix that, and break up both Dems and Reps.
The First Past The Post creates TwoParty OneSystem-ism with mathematical certainty. It is winner-takes-all logic which concentrates power and makes it manageable, purchaseable
There'd be no need for drug dealers if drugs were decriminalized, like in other progressive Nations.
Lol forgot they call weed drug
~~Clearly you didn't, because weed is completely unrelated to this story. You saw the word 'drug' and assumed it must mean 'marijuana'.~~
Edit: You know what, this response was pretty dickish. Sorry. Ignore the above.
Thanks appreciate your edit, i was speaking in general that they can call someone selling weed as drug dealer and kick them out of the country. So the word drug dealer in the US by itself doesn't mean the person is gang member or horrible person.
Regardless thanks again for the edit! Have a good day..
Yeah lemme go to my local fentanyl shop. Because she trafficked fentanyl.
And? Plenty of countries where that's not an issue, or at worse she'd get either a fine or medical counseling on addiction for a couple days https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-that-have-decriminalized-drugs.html
Which of those countries have decriminalized Fentanyl? I bet it's none of them.
Weed is fine, obviously.
What part of literally all drugs did you not get from the list at the bottom mentioning places like Portugal and Croatia?
Well shit, I stand corrected!
