    1. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin was asked by CNN’s John Berman Wednesday exactly how much of the Somali American community in Minnesota, an estimated 40,000 of whom were born in Somalia, could be considered garbage. Her response was a word salad nowhere near a condemnation.

      We know who’s garbage and it’s not Somalia where they were born.

    3. All the ones I interact with here must just be really good at pretending to be normal, friendly people.

      Maybe MAGA can ask them for tips.

      This is just another flavor of the „cat eating Haitians in Ohio“ trope Vance promoted in 2024, although that was arguably worse since that was a complete fabrication, while it is quite possible that some Somali immigrants aren’t obeying the law or aren’t producing as much in economic value as they receive in benefits. However, this would be true of all refugees since there is often a transition period to full economic independence when fleeing from a conflict country or from political persecution and starting over again in the US. The problem is the blanket disparaging tone and rhetoric that casts them as a monolithically „evil“ group that should be banned and eliminated. The fact is, if you can’t give specific, verifiable facts, and retreat into deflection, then you are implicitly admitting your generalized denunciation is ungrounded.

      Trump loves it when he says something insane and then gets to watch his faithful have to explain it in detail on TV all day

      I’m confused why so many young people are going down with the ship. Trump likely won’t live to the end of his term, but seeing younger folks throw their entire reputations away like this is bizarre. A main focus for the next (obviously democrat) administration is to properly punish all these people.

    7. Pretty, vacuous official stumbles as to how to confront the fact that if she’s truthful that her boss misspoke, then she’s fired. But if she lies to protect him then she’s a racist. Well, ya gotta pick!

      „This isn’t about politics, this is about…“

      It warms my heart watching these turds try to explain away their dear leader’s disgusting worldview. Make it work. Sell the lie. Surely none of it will rub off on them, they hope.

      I have had a couple negative interactions with people in the Somali community in my time in MN. That said those were individuals who were assholes, not the whole community. Trump and MAGA are the garbage here.

    10. I always remind people: not all of the Trump appointees are evil. Some of them are just incompetent, or just plain stupid.

      Trump hates Ihan Omar so much for talking back to him that he’s going after the entire nationality. Insane.

      trump was particularly disgusting regarding Somalia. Basically he hates Ilhan Omar and is taking it out on an entire country. trump is old school racist.

      I’m so fucking tired of these people. But I reserve most of my anger to the ones amongst us who voted for this. Fuck you very hard assholes.

    14. The media should have asked him about how many Mexicans he thinks are rapists, when he kicked off his first campaign with hard racism.

    15. dadthewisest on

      Why is it that Trump keeps hiring women who appear to be just over the legal age? It seems pretty fucking telling.

    16. kalidorisconan on

      You ever notice that these people take the WORST fucking photos too?? Must be the horrible reflection from their horrible souls.

      I wish people would start interrupting and demanding an actual answer.
