Remember when you needed proof to say stuff and have people believe you? Nowadays you can say whatever the fuck you want with fake numbers and straight up lies and people will believe you if you have any kind of charisma or authority.

Nowadays? Isn't this exactly what Hitler did?

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah this isn't the first time ever

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

But this time it’s different because everyone has every chance to have full access to the information leading up and still chose pain. So there’s that.

Well they don’t have any charisma but perception differs, Right?

Kristy needs to tell me who her drug dealer is, he has some good weird shit, apparently

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly?

She's the trolls queen, she's just can't be true.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

[–] PotatoLibre@feddit.it 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m betting the person injured themself to get off the plane. Maybe with their teeth. ICE was making fun of it, calling him a cannibal and dumbass Noem just believed it word for word.

She doesn’t seem like someone who gets jokes, even bad ones.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

I'm betting this person is entirely fictional and created to paint the innocent people they're kidnapping off the street as deranged maniacs.

She does seem like the sort of person to make up racist lies.

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 5 points 1 week ago

Noem is no dumbass, but she plays a convincing one on TV.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 42 points 1 week ago

Yes, let's talk about her stupid story instead of the concentration camp she just opened.

His name was Hannibal Lector.

Weird shit republicans say for a thousand, Alex.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

The "late, great" Hannibal Lector.

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 week ago

Not a single bit of fact checking in the article.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 23 points 1 week ago

Ah, looks like the old "eat yourself entirely, so you are invisible, then when the plane is on the return flight, you poo yourself back out again" trick.

Why are they eating the skinny guy? The big guy is far more nutritionally dense.

Pizza the Hut?

Kristi, RFK Jr called. He wants his brain worm back.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 week ago

So I was initially kidding with my theory that she was parodying herself to see how far she could take it but I'm no longer sure.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have you seen a man eating his own head?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Then you haven't seen everything. And neither have we.

For all we know he was bad at plotting his escape.
