A woman adopted as a toddler by an American war veteran, who he found in the 1970s in an Iranian orphanage and raised as a Christian, is being threatened with deportation to Iran, a country notoriously dangerous for Christians and on the brink of war with the United States.

    I mean, the us knowingly and willfully handed this fucker everything. This on the heels of the Supreme Court essentially making him untouchable. None of what is happening was a secret, it was literally written down in a plan that we all could see.

    America decided that a felon, admitted sexual predator, and a the most prolific liar to ever hold office was a better choice to lead us. I’d say we go exactly what we asked for.

    Criminal, that fits, evil, that too, disastrous, for sure, but I can’t call them rogue when this is precisely what we apparently wanted (we tried to warn them).

      Well, I guess “we” voted for this, but I sure as fuck did not. Whole lot of normie types and reactionary centrists acted like we were a bunch of Cassandras when we told them about Project 2025.

      I had conversations IRL where these types said things like “yeah, I heard about that. but isn’t Project 2025 just a conspiracy theory from the Democrats”?

      Sigh. Also, I know several people that are very much the types that are going to be the most at-risk after immigrants, if not already, and they chose not to vote, vote third party, or at least in one case, for the pedophile-in-chief because “the Democrats are no better on my pet issue”. JFC.
