And when the police arrived they started questioning him about whether he agreed with Trump on deportations and Gaza. The police questioning people on their political views seems to be becoming standard in the USA.

“Why are they saying you pushed a priest?”

“They were trying to pull me away from the pulpit. I grabbed the pulpit and just held on. I didn’t push anyone. They had four guys grabbing me and dragging me off there.”

“What made you want to preach today?” “I’m worried about human beings, our brothers and sisters who live within our midst and are being targeted by the government.”

“What do you consider to be targeted by the government? What class of people are you …”

“Undocumented immigrants.”

“So you don’t agree with deportations and things like that?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Did you say anything like that?”

“I didn’t even get there.”

Looking at a copy of Gillcrist’s prepared remarks, the officer said, “So I see you mention Gaza and Ukraine in here. What’s your message with that?”

“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”

Hegseth has white supremacist tattoos. Those are approved of.

Many things are possible, but we shouldn’t go shouting “It’s microplastics!” or “It’s TikTok!” or whatever without actual scientific research. There are just too many plausible-sounding hypotheses that need to be handled carefully.

That is exactly how the Nazis in charge are thinking about this. They assume they’ll make it through because they’re constitutionally superior, while the weak die and are no longer a burden on the Übermenschen.

We’re going to have at least two pandemics at the same time, and the USA will have no government left to deal with it, just a few kooks and Nazis with their theories of eugenics, random vitamins, bleach, horse dewormers and survival of the most racially superior.

I doubt the courts would be respected even if they ruled against it. Trump is currently ignoring the courts to have people illegally kidnapped and deported to foreign prisons, with no due process, some of them to be enslaved there for life:

From that article:

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences. … Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

“Medal” I think, not “metal”. But yes. They think only white people can achieve anything on merit.
