    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.

    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.

      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.

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

    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.

    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.
