  2. Why are we doing this again.

    This is the bad place.

  3. Man, every single news article about Trump is like something out of an onion article.

  4. Week Two – Internment Camps. Didn’t expect to get here so quickly although not surprised we’re here.

  8. Whoever said “Trump is gonna do internment camps”

    You were __right__.

    Shame on Israel and AIPAC for so thoroughly forgetting their history by helping elect this monster.

  9. history shows us where this goes;

    so, next up:
    the labor camps

    then:
    the death camps

  11. Gitmo is WAY too small to hold a meaningful number of prisoners, especially when compared to the millions he’s proposing to deport.

    This is a scare tactic, designed to give his rah-rah cult members something evil to cheer for.

  12. Oh so you’re not deporting them you’re just holding them in a sort of camp?

  14. Propaganda Barbie said they are illegal people. Illegal to be a person

  15. We’re gonna be in the timeline where everyone gets to prove that they wouldn’t have been a Nazi in early 20th century Germany. But unfortunately like last time, I bet the violent vocal mob wins out overall. They’ve found their first undesirables to scapegoat for all their problems and they’re not going to consider they were wrong until all of them are rounded up. And then they’ll find someone else.

  16. My jaw hit the floor and i said “what the fuck is going on” after reading this headline.

    What the fuck are we actually doing in this country?!

  17. Straight out of the fascist playbook.

    What is funny is that MAGA is too stupid to realize that Trump is about 18 months from dismantling the 2nd Amendment.

  18. I just want to note that the cost of Gitmo, is 13 million per year… per prisoner.

    Now that is will come down as we get more prisoners but not by that much.

  19. Wait, they’re just putting migrants into the torture prison? What the hell?!

  21. Americans, we need to get serious and start talking about what we will do. Can your conscience bear the guilt of what they will do in our names?

  23. Mark my words, people are going to start “going missing” from there.

    We’ve seen this story before.

  26. Would this be what was known as a concentration camp when the nazi party of Germany housed dissidents, Jews and enemies of the state.

  27. >The law mandates that people in the U.S. illegally who are accused of theft and violent crimes be detained and potentially deported, even before a conviction.

    Whatever happened to presumed innocent until proven guilty.

  28. What’s the over/under on how long it takes before a US citizen is sent to Guantanamo.

  29. 9 days in and we have our first mention of a prison camp where we will concentrate certain types of people, outside of US borders.

  30. What the fuck man. The same Guantanamo where the U.S. detained, tortured, and denied due process for people for decades without a formal charge against them?

  32. Wonder when the, “He’s not a fascist/he’s joking/I can’t stand the nazi comparison” crowd will realize?

  33. This part needs more attention:

    “The law mandates that people in the U.S. illegally who are **accused** of theft and violent crimes be detained and potentially deported, even before a conviction”

  34. And there it is, another thing conservatives shouted would never ever happen until they were blue in the face!

    Now comes the countdown until the first American citizen ends up in there.

    You literally elected Hitler 2.0 you fuckwits. When are you going to stop being so stupid?

  35. I thought we’d get to concentration camps eventually, but I didn’t think it would be in a little over a week.

  36. – This is blatantly illegal

    – This is horrifically immoral

    – This is impractical (it would need to be 40x as much capacity as during peak War on Terror)

    – It is exactly what America should have expected when voting for him

  38. It has only been 9 days and we are at concentration camps.
    FFS

  39. Sanction the United States. Sever diplomatic relations. Place ICC warrants on all senior Republican officials.
    This is as serious as it gets. And move the fucking UN out of New York — it’s not safe there.

  40. Hey look, that thing everyone said we were fearmongering about the last 10 years is happening, almost like they were planning this the entire time!

  41. at the press conference where they said this is a cultural shift that anyone crossing the border undocumented can now be considered a ‘criminal’ has a very ominous vibe. You could tell the reporter trying to drill down knew the levity of that statement.

    it’s the equivalent of saying jaywalkers deserve the same treatment as murderers and rapists.

    this is not going to end well. I imagine the next coming headline will be UN and NATO sending officials to DC

  42. As a German I gotta say: You guys always asked why back then no German did anything about it, and why not more Germans stood up against the injustice. There you are, seems like its your turn now. Hope you do it better than my ancestors.
