Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville called for New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to be arrested and sent to the infamous American torture prison at Guantanamo Bay. Mamdani’s crime? Calling indicted alleged war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu an “architect of genocide,” responsible for a series of atrocities in the ongoing war on Gaza.
“Sooner or later,” Mamdani will “do something more stupid than what he’s done, where we will finally say enough is enough, go put the handcuffs on him … and send him to Gitmo,” Tuberville, a Republican, said, calling Mamdani a “thug.”
Guy from Alabama says some dumb shit. News at 11…
Alabama is the worst state in the union
He’s actually a Florida Man from Florida these days. He only pretends to be an Alabamian to hold down an Alabama Senate seat.
Ha ha go fuck yourself MAGAt moron.
Also pretty sure the entirety of NY would put up a fight over that if they tried.
I feel like we should have a list of all these unhinged politicians top donors and their addresses for situations like this.
That doesnt sound very democratic of him
Sounds like his gay fantasy. “Tell me what would happen to me locked up with men”
I’ll always laugh at this, it fits everything
I’m really curious if he/they recognized the meme potential of this when they made it. They both seem pretty smart, so I think it has to be a consideration at least. Maybe it was the entire goal? Regardless, it’s perfect and I love seeing it every time.
They’re pissing their pants.
“The poors are learning about socialism!”
This is what it’s about. Thank you.
It’s not just socialism, it’s kindness and the exemplification of a civil servant actually seeking to serve the will of the people.
In many ways, we’re simply talking about the concept of a true republic here.
This is a rare vision of the America the founding fathers envisioned.
Can you name a socialist country that is doing well?
What kind of socialism are you referring to? That’s a pretty wide net you’re casting.
Social democracy (which is technically still capitalism)? Democratic socialism with decentralized authority? Anarchism? Union socialism?
Or are you just looking at examples of Stalinism, Maoism and Marxist-Leninist socialism? Libertarian socialism?
Do you realize the price of change is human life with any society? Capitalism has cost countless lives and the death toll is increasing.
I hate my spouse so fucking much
And comparatively basically every "developed’ nation is doing better than the USA.
Sure they have their problems but at least they get affordable health care and time off work
Not socialist but social democracies.
Socialism is when WORKERS OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION.
These two countries are both free market privately owned economies. They both have extream(for the USA) regulations when it comes to how private enterprise can operate but at the end of the day they are both 100% capitalists.
Hmm…
Sweden is a highly developed country ranked fifth in the Human Development Index. It is a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden
Sweden has achieved a high standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Sweden
As a unitary state with a constitutional monarchy, Norway divides state power between the parliament, the cabinet, and the judiciary, as determined by the 1814 constitution.
The Norwegian economy is an example of a mixed economy; a prosperous capitalist welfare state, it features a combination of free market activity and large state ownership in certain key sectors, influenced by both liberal governments from the late 19th century and later by social democratic governments in the postwar era.
Exactly, not socialist.
the ones that quickly get attacked and destroyed by the US when they’re successful?
like most of S. American countries that all seem to have a ‘Dictator problem’ until the US chooses their Dictator?
those Socialist countries?
Good luck on seeing more republicans elected. Lol. Americans are savvy enough to know the difference between “good” socialism and “bad” socialism.
Ironically, this rhetoric from a politician should be an arrestable offense.
Guess ol Tommy had to say something ridiculous to get back in the news. Probably had to go see the king and needed some recognition.
He should fall down more stairs.
He should fall down more stairs.
They’re so old and staying in office so long that falling on the stairs is a real possibility.
Potatotown isn’t that old. Just painfully stupid.
He’s genuinely barely sentient.
This should be an impeachable offense for any elected official.
I agree! And since we’re dreaming, we need a way for the People to directly impeach federal
employeeselected or appointed officials (edited). I’m so sick of witnessing impeachable offenses on a daily basis while our “representatives” sit on their thumbs, counting their bribes.Absolutely not federal employees, federally elected officials yes.
You don’t want to empower random people with the ability to fire Dan at the CDC for working on the covid vaccine. Dan is a federal employee
Agreed. I edited accordingly. Thanks.
Stripping an American of rights and locking him up in a gulag?
Tuberville is un-American and I wish his voters knew or cared.
Alabama is the worst state in the union, and Alabamians are the worst, look at who they voted for
They know. They approve because he’s hurting the ‘right people.’
*the left people
When politicians say things like that with no repercussions, that’s when you should know you are no longer in a respectable democracy
Yea, any respectable democracy would have shut the city down with protests until this fuckwit steps down.
For the fuckests of sakes, you had a president who had to step down because he got a blowjob. Granted, that wasn’t okay, but calling for imprisonment and possible torture of your political opponents because they give half a shit about international law is fucking insane.
Clinton did not step down because he got a blowjob. He did not step down at all, in fact.
Right, brainfart, impeached.
It stopped being a respectable democracy when Trump mocked a disabled reporter and was still able to continue his campaign with no consequences
Sure. If he actually has an arrest warrant out for him. WHICH HE DOESN’T. Do you know who does? BIBI!
Even if there was an arrest warrant, Guantanamo is still a concentration camp and not a rule of law prison. So sending an American citizen there would still be fascism.
Sending anyone there is fascist…
I wouldn’t call it a concentration camp. That refers more to things targeting mass groups of people.
This is a selective prison camp for political enemies and anyone deemed “useful” to torture for information
Its a fucking concentration camp. It holds political prisoners, WHO COME FROM ONE SPECIFIC PLACE ON THIS PLANET, who have never had a day in court for their accused crimes. ITS A CONCENTRATION CAMP.
I never said it’s a good place if you can calm the fuck down.
To me a concentration camp is for larger scale imprisonment.
It does do all the things you list though
These snowflakes are terrified of this guy.
If I spent my career pretending to be indignant at the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the government while cosplaying as someone trying to fix the problem, I’d also be scared of the guy who showed it’s not only possible to bring about positive change, but possible to do in less than one term.
They really will do or say anything but their job, huh?
If we’re being real, Mamdami hasn’t even gotten his big plans rolling yet. He passed an easy tax (for people owning houses that don’t even live in NYC) and fixed some potholes. His biggest win was bartering with the state government to get more support (instead of the dreaded “tax the rich”). The rest was normal stuff with good PR aimed at the 21st century. That’s it.
But these relics spent decades minmaxing for cable news and can’t look human on social media at all. They are used to saying words then doing nothing. The bar is that low and they are scared at a dude bending his knees (he hasn’t even jumped yet).
At least they are finally breaking their fake decorum and sayong the quiet parts out loud. Makes it so much easier to tear down in the long term.
Conservatives have to demonize socialism because they know it’s the only possible thing that could pose a realistic threat to their greedy, cruel and self-serving lifestyles.
Arrested for what, exactly? What fucking law?
Who is going to stand up to these people?
For being against Israel.
I understand.
What actual law?
The law that lil’ ol’ Tommy Tuberville came up with in his silly lil’ brain.
God, he’s such a fucking cretin. I absolutely loathe him.
What fucking law
Prisoners at Guantanimo Bay have been asking that for decades.
Sure, but now elected US politicians are being threatened with being thrown in there?
I feel like maybe that’s not so legal, or at least deserves some attention from some kind of agency.
Obviously not going to happen, but let’s try not to forget what the world was like before fascism destroyed the United States.
