Representative Eric Swalwell had the photoshopped image walked over to her.
The Trump administration just became so much more Orwellian.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command,” George Orwell wrote in his cautionary tale about totalitarianism, 1984.
On Wednesday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took that command a step further, refusing to even acknowledge a doctored photo depicting alleged gang tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckles, which the White House has repeatedly used to justify his deportation.
In a heated back-and-forth with Representative Eric Swalwell during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Noem repeatedly swerved away from answering direct questions about the photo, which was displayed on a massive poster board behind the California lawmaker.
I don’t get it. There is sooo much bullshit that all these fuckers do that is morally abhorrent, disgusting, and all around gross… How is everyone supposed to keep up with all of it?
I too normally think of treating doggos the best, I think that’s a good human reaction to have. And that phrase was a nasty one that humans have used for quite awhile, and often does mean the opposite. Outside of use on dog abusers, I would not engage further with someone who used that phrase, and didn’t mean it in a dog positive way (at our house, being treated like the animals, is best treatment!).
Bet some folks who aren’t in the US, and others who are even, appreciated the reminder on what flavor of shitty she is. Even if it was from rude comments responding to you. It’s just hard to keep up with all of it all the time. I’m sure there is some jackass who will show up in the news tomorrow that I won’t remember what disgusting thing he did or said was, until I’m reminded.
