Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

This is the picture of fascism in America.

1. The guy in back with mic just threw up in his mouth and is trying to avoid spewing. . . .nt

[Justice matters.]

9. Doubt it. He's a psychopath just like the three other cruel psychos in that pic.

He was laughing at the convicted idiot snark (which are never 'funny').

[CrispyQ]

2. You know those cages will be crammed with people. They will have to sleep in shifts.

Little kids (remember their "believe the children" campaign?), will be especially vulnerable. There was a story recently about adults & children fighting over the case of water that was deposited in their containment area. WTGDF?

[malaise]

3. What happens when lightning strikes that metal gestapo camp?

[Grim Chieftain]

5. Maybe that's what they're hoping for

There is no limit to their evil. God, I can' believe this is our country.

[snowybirdie]

30. Tornados

Have formed when hurricanes are nearby. Little advance notice either. Last year, when Milton hit, that area saw seven tornadoes.

[malaise]

31. Good grief

I forgot that part

[colorado_ufo]

41. There are small tornadoes INSIDE hurricanes!

I grew up in New Orleans, and my family has been there for generations and is still there. I have personally experienced this! Twisters came and twisted and snapped off full grown trees at midsection right outside our front door during hurricane Betsy. We lost the most wonderful hard shell pecan tree, but at least it didn't land on our house. We also lost two more trees that way and Dad had to use a chainsaw to cut them so we could get out our front door. Hurricanes are truly a nasty piece of work. These poor souls will not survive them.

[MadameButterfly]

47. Just in time for hurricane season

[Hugin]

4. I fear we're only a scant few days from...

The Marquis de Sade yelling, “They’re killing people in here.” out of a Bastille window.

We’re not going to make it to September.

Augh, those stupid hats.

[MadameButterfly]

48. 3 1/2 more years

If we're lucky

[ReRe]

54. Yeah, and see Governor DeSadist laughing.

Seriously, guys. How long did they say it was going to take to build that mansion in the Everglades? I thought they said a couple months. Looks like the builders themselves might be swept away in a hurricane before they can fill it with ICE prisoners.
This country is so fucking S.I.C.K.

[the nelm]

6. They're on the wrong side of the fence. Just sayin'...n/t

[markie]

7. a story

years ago, I did a short stay as a Correctional Officer (small town, minimal security, however...) one of the other officers in a candid moment said "the only difference between them and us is that they got caught"


what we are living now is a different version of that... I am sick, I am angry, I am disgusted, I am feeling very helpless knowing there is very little I can do to remedy this situation

[Joinfortmill]

8. There will be a reckoning. But, it's gonna get uglier first.

[wnylib]

36. Yes, it will get very ugly.

$45 billion in the Doohnibor Bill for detention centers run by private prison companies. They will want them filled when they run out of immigrants to fill them with.

[MadameButterfly]

49. If they can do this to them

Last edited Thu Jul 3, 2025, 05:36 PM - Edit history (1)

They can do this to anybodyl
I'm sure they can think of someone

[wnylib]

55. Very true, and it worries me that most people don't see it.

This is a pattern that was followed in Nazi Germany. Demonize a target group that most people won't defend. Paint them as criminals who need to be treated roughly. Raise the restrictions on those people incrementally so that they and the general population get desensitized to the injustice. Then expand the target to other groups, including political dissidents.

10. Check out Tiedrich today

he posted a picture of partying Nazis at Auschwitz that matched this one. There is even a Nazi lady identical to Barbie laughing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. Would love a link to that....

Better yet, both pics side by side.

[KT2000]

14. from substack

this one takes you to today's post: https://substack.com/home/post/p-167285655

[malaise]

32. Me too

[KT2000]

33. Start my day with Tiedrich!

Gotta have a laugh before meeting the awfulness! His creativeness is off the charts.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

27. Holy shit, I just read the article and burst out laughing!

He referred to Lauren Boebert as “Handey Oakley” and MTG as “Marge Three Toes”.

Apparently, Murkowski is hoping for redemption by hoping the House shoots down “The Big Beautiful Pile of Shit” (per Tiedrich).

It is sad that we have to use a primary school reference to describe this bill but I guess that is what happens when a bunch of morons elects one of their own to the WH.

[KT2000]

34. Yes - he excels in monikers

trump's can take a whole paragraph.

[surfered]

12. What, no Arbeit Macht Frei sign at the entrance.

[Mr.Bee]

13. Sick Sadists

The Republican party should be working on their own acts of IMPEACHMENT!!!

[3Hotdogs]

15. I was just figurin' -- we could make a shit-load of money by adding a dog shooting range. Kinda like they have with

clay pidgeons.


Ya gets you a couple'a Greyhounds. Put 'em in the cage and on the outside is the track with the rabbit. Kristie yells. "Pull."

The gate opens, the dog gets out and Kristie gets to shoot the dog. BUT HERE'S WHAT MAKE THIS MORE EXITING and why you get to charge more.

Ya gotta hit the dog before the gators, snakes and Pythons get's 'em first. Goobs will love it. The prison company can charge a couple'a per dog. 15% off the top to Trump sincere thought of it (actually, I just thought of it) And since the Greyhounds gets euthanized anyway when they get too slow... It's a win - win all the way around.

You're welcome.

[BurnDoubt]

21. Eric and D Jr are already to open a Resort (Let's call it "Last Resort")...

Where you can hunt and track migrants released into the Swamp.
They're arguing about whether successful migrants should go free, and the rights to the reality show.
The White House is down for the Merch.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

29. Shades of "The Most Dangerous Game" (an excellent story, btw)

But with these poor migrants, it would be more like The Most Hapless Game. The whole Reich Wing just gets more and more barbaric every day.

[MadameButterfly]

50. Or the Hunger Games

[flashman13]

16. F__king merch vendors!

[NBachers]

17. I can't publish the movies that are playing out in my mind right now.

[sop]

18. Don and Ron finally made up, they found common ground in the kidnapping, incarceration and torture of immigrants.

[Solly Mack]

19. Like a postcard of white folks watching a lynching.

[BurnDoubt]

20. in other news: Is KKKristi getting fat?

There. I hope that can distract from The Deplorable.

[DENVERPOPS]

24. Maybe she's pregnant

with Trump's next spawn.........Stormy commented to All the women in his CABAL, that they don't need to open their mouths that much........


I never realized that there were this many Psychopathic Sadists..............

[calimary]

22. Yuck it up, you two.

Still fawning over the yellow guy. Especially Miss donald hat.

Disgusting photo of some seriously disgusting people. And the donald looks like he’s enjoying leering at her bare arms.

Absolutely Hideous.

[rubbersole]

23. He'll take her back to mar-a-lardo so she can continue serving her country.

[gopiscrap]

25. this pictrue makes me sick

and what makes me even more sick is that so many voters laugh right along with these assholes

[SheltieLover]

26. Unconscionable!

[Kablooie]

28. It's insane that it's all in the open ...

But nobody can do anything!
We know it, we see it, and can do nothing!

[Aaeia]

35. It is PEOPLE those cages will be holding

Mothers, Fathers, siblings, Aunts & Uncles. Neices & nephews. BABIES because don't give a damn who the are putting in those cages!
PEOPLE!!!!!
Quit with the labels because once they are done with them; it will be the LGBTQ2 & when they are done with them, it will be EVERYONE who dissents. Which means every one of you PEOPLE on D.U.

[Ping Tung]

37. Being happy in their work and looking forward to new accomplishments .

[damifino10]

38. Human Zoo!

Sadly, the wrong critters are standing outside the cages that they, themselves, truly should be in. I wish nothing but bad shit on these GOP assholes and have no empathy for the cultist that idolize mAngo mAn. If there is a God, why the hell is he/she letting this ruination happen?

[Ruby the Liberal]

39. Have you ever seen 3 more smackable faces?

[MIButterfly]

40. There are no words strong enough to describe

the absolute revulsion and disgust I feel looking at that picture.

What heartless, soulless, evil creatures they are. Satan must be very proud of his creations. They make me sick.

[colorado_ufo]

42. What vile creatures these are!

[PaulRevere08]

43. And a picture of fascism in Germany

?w=1080

Nazis laughing in front of Auschwitz.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

53. Not just any Nazis. That's Josef Mengele himself in the middle.

[kentuck]

44. It would have been a better photo if...

...they had been in the cages.

[William769]

45. FML!

[C Moon]

46. The Four Racketeers

[YoshidaYui]

51. BUT PEOPLE VOTED FOR THIS, THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY...OOPS...

i GUESS SOME OF THEM ARE NOW IN CAGES, you voted for this dude, you wish has come true.

[johnnyfins]

52. Its great how the ghoul's eyes are on the

CAMERA and not TSF and Little Meatball.

In other news, Kristi's botox face got stuck like that and she is now in the Alligator Auschwitz infirmary.
