We have not deported U.S. Citizens or military veterans.

The United States invaded Panama in mid-December 1989 during the presidency of George H. W. Bush. The purpose of the invasion was to depose the de facto ruler of Panama, General Manuel Noriega, who was wanted by U.S. authorities for racketeering and drug trafficking. The operation, codenamed Operation Just Cause, concluded in late January 1990 with the surrender of Noriega.[9] The Panama Defense Forces (PDF) were dissolved, and President-elect Guillermo Endara was sworn into office

i get this kind of thing might ruffle some true patriots, and yeh no shit Noam would lie about this shit, but I will struggle to feel bad about veterans

I struggle with this. I hesitate on both sides. "Just following orders" isn't enough of a defense to justify some seriously bad shit that any reasonable person would stop and go "are we the bad guys?" over. For big picture stuff, the individuals in the military wouldn't have the entire context of what's happening, they would just be given orders and expected to go and do.
So on one hand, I understand the "just following orders" defence, on the other, I don't think that's an excuse for doing shitty things to people, especially non-combatants/civilians/whatever.
Operational ignorance only accounts for so much.
I don't want to blame veterans for what happened, but I also don't think they're innocent in all of it because they were "just following orders"....
It's definitely something that I'm split on. Either way, veterans, at the very least, deserve to be taken care of and given a certain amount of respect for their work and, in many cases, sacrifices, so that we can enjoy a relatively peaceful and free existence.
And my feelings on this don't change based on what military someone served in. This applies to all veterans. Thank you for your service, I sure hope you're not guilty of war crimes regardless of if you were "just following orders" or not.

He ceased to be an American citizen the moment he was deported.

And then she promptly went to hide up her own ass

at least they deported an actual murderer this time, instead of just hard working immigrants.

ffs..... being a veteran doesn't make someone a murder... fucking .ml brainrots.
- If you were Panamanian I don't think you'd have much trouble calling the men who came and killed innocent civilians in 1989 a murderer. That being the case, can you say objectively that this person isn't a murderer or at least took part in mass murder?
- True, they also raped a lot of people.
I can see how you might think that. for the Americans, he is a hero. for the people he fought against and killed, he is not a hero. the families of the people still cherish their loved ones and either side either fought or died for each country.

This is NOT and will NOT be shown on the news. They are ALL complicit and working for the 1000 billionaires. They all need to go.

I agree with ↓
- I hate pooping, it's not fun in any way.
Not that I don't agree, but It's literally a screenshot of a CNN broadcast
- CNN is owned by a billionaire Trump donor. GYHOOYA. That's not the news. Talking about cbs abc nbc fox. This was a live hearing no one was watching and that will be a blip on the nightly news.
- Plus it's on the MeidasTouch Network. You can always rely on them to expose every little fuckup the regime makes even if corpo news won't.

he should have thought twice about being a minority.

What a fucking easy copout to hand her "will you at least consider looking at the case?"

No dude. Have her commit while you've got fire on her feet. Am I the only person left with common sense

If she looks at the case and frees these people, it's an admission of guilt. If she doesn't do anything, she was made aware of the issue before congress and will look even worse later on.
- The court of public opinion is all we have left, and that means very little these days
Agreed, enough with this archaic sense of decorum. The ruling party has not shown decorum in ages. Blast them, make them answer to their faults.
- We really should start going for the throat, especially with Democrats. They keep doing shit like this, we bombard them and let them know the second we can, we're going to primary their asses. It has to stop.
Yeah like holy shit, one fucking case. I mean if it makes a difference for him that’s great, but we really need way fucking more.

Lesson learned. Now they'll strip people of their American citizenship before deporting them to a random country.

Oh snap, was this real? Links to video/article?

Yep, very real
Predictably it had no effect on Noem.
- why would it? She faces no real consequences.
- First reaction was to blame him for doing drugs 14 years ago. Disgusting.
- #BigWoof. That's hella.

This guy wasn't even the first one I could think of off the top of my head. Obviously, this psycho has no idea what's going on.

She knows.
Oh they know, but the strategy is to always say what sounds good and trust in their base to believe them.
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt or allow them to claim ignorance anymore. This is willful and malicious.

Gottem! Democracy is saved because you had a snappy comeback to the people that feel no shame for being scum-sucking troglodytes.

Is Mr Park allowed to return home yet? Or are we using veterans to score moral points against the devil?

Or are we using veterans to score moral points against the devil?
Maybe we're using a tangible example to attack the fascist narrative that got that veteran deported, so others don't suffer the same fate?
are we using veterans to score moral points
"Thank you for your service"
It’s always the second one.
- Are you a person who eats so many tacos they need help not eating tacos or are you a shady nameless figure who is secretly just a bunch of tacos in a trench coat?

The vibes, I guess.

This legit felt like an episode of Maury.
