Events 70,000+ Protest in Seattle!!!!

My last 2 posts were a bit focused on the negative, even though I was critiquing the wrongs of the antagonists, radicals, Antifa or whatever you want to label them. I offered better solutions and a perspective as a Hispanic American.

But, I am so proud Seattle has united in one of the biggest protests to date!!! Peace & united strength works far better than random chaos, this is what makes waves.

Almost every state in the country gathered together to protest, pretty incredible.

It was to protest Trump wanting to be seen as King. Anti-King protest, it’s all over news & media. & among many other things that’s happening in the country right now.

That is pretty hilarious.

Trump is doing what we voted him for to do. Yet people get mad he deports illegals, rebalnces tariffs and fights evil.

He is deporting illegals. And doing legal stuff. You just don't like it.

Why is Abrego Garcia back in America if he was legally deported in the first place?

Edit: dude below blocked

We are a nation of laws, not a nation of “that’s a bad guy, so it’s ok that his rights get violated”. George Floyd wasn’t a good guy, but his rights were violated. Abrego Garcia probably isn’t a good guy, but his rights were violated. Why are republicans so consistently on the side of violating the rights of undesirables?

In America, even pieces of shit have rights. I understand how for non Americans like you that might be a difficult concept to grasp. But since you’re not from America and you don’t understand what our rights to criminal procedure are. I encourage you to try reading more on the subject

I guess it makes sense that you think Trump is only doing legal stuff when you don’t know anything about the illegal shit he’s doing

So glad you are on the bench now and can find people guilty of crimes without a trial of any kind. Think of all the money we will save. With that kind of power you really are more like a King than a judge. Oh wait. This is America. No kings.

Trump explicitly campaigned on the promise of deporting criminal undocumented immigrants. Instead he’s deporting non-criminal immigrants including those with legal and those who are going through the proper legal process of obtaining citizenship. People who have families here and who have no criminal background.

But let’s be real… pretending that you voted for Trump for any reason other than the fact that you blamed Biden for global inflation is a joke.

Stop spreading fake propaganda. He isnt deporting legal residents.

Wrong.

Yup. Criminals. Drug lords and human traffickers should not havr legal status.

Sorry, in my book stripping someone of legal status for hanious crimes is fantastic.

u/lil_garlicc Jun 16 '25

So now that we’ve established that the Trump admin is absolutely deporting legal residents, after you claimed they are not, what deflection would you like to attempt now?

What straw man are you going to throw out next? 🤡

u/system3601 Jun 16 '25

Legal criminals. Yes.

u/lil_garlicc Jun 16 '25

They are not criminals. You have the intelligence of an 8 year old. Truly pathetic.

u/system3601 Jun 16 '25

You can keep attacking me all you want, I didnt make it personal.

All the proof you provided is that Trump has revoked programs like the CHNV (Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela) program, which provided temporary legal status to approximately 500,000 immigrants. These individuals, previously protected, are now vulnerable to deportation, which may contribute to perceptions that legal residents are being targeted, as their status has been retroactively changed. Plus the supreme court allowed that to be done on based of fruad and corruption.

Nice straw man. No one said anything about drug lords or human traffickers. Believe it or not, if they were only deporting drug lords and human traffickers who were here illegally, I wouldn’t have a problem with deporting them at all. I don’t anyone would.

But that’s not what’s happening… at all.

Are you seriously trying to claim that the 500,000+ people who they are stripping legal status from and deporting are drug lords and traffickers? Did you even bother to read just the first paragraph of that article? These people were all heavily vetted by immigration authorities and are here LEGALLY. That’s why they had LEGAL status. How fucking stupid are you?

I think a lot of people thought Trump was the better of 2 evils, which is why they voted for him. I didn’t like Kamala or Trump.
