US Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply disappointed by his cabinet picks, they tell Reuters.
“Trump won because of us and we’re not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others,” says Rabiul Chowdhury, a Philadelphia investor who chaired the Abandon Harris campaign in Pennsylvania and co-founded Muslims for Trump. Muslim support for Trump helped him win Michigan and may have factored into other swing state wins, strategists believe.
Muslims: We voted for Trump because Harris supports Israel! He’s not hurting the right people!!!
Trump: Oh, yes. Yes we are. Now get on the fucking plane. The in-flight meal is pork chops.
America has too many morons
Oh WELL
So similar to the Muslims who voted for Biden in 2020?
Hahaha yeah fuck those muslims who refused to vote for Harris. Death to them, and their children! This is all their fault, and definitely not the fault of the democrats for running on a republican light platform! Vote blue everyone!
Lol
Yep the leopards are getting morbidly obese right now.
People with faces upset the leopards started eating them.
Seriously? What did they think was going to happen with donvict in office? I just can’t even right now. If I thought things would be any better in 4 years, I’d beg/borrow/steal to get on that 4 year cruise…
No way. The guy who said he’d give Netanyahu a blank check to destroy Gaza opposes Islam? Color me fucking shocked.
Blank check? they already had one and have been bypassing Congress to fund them already under Biden
No fucking shit.
Go fuck yourself.
No need. I’m pretty sure Trump will fuck them with round 2 of the Muslim ban, but I hope I’m wrong.
All this time/effort organizing around him when a 5 minute Google search would have shown you he’d pledge unquestioning support for Netanyahu
Not to mention Trump’s “sharpie realignment” of Israel’s border during his last term. These people have rocks in their heads if they thought this was going to go any other way.
This is what I don’t get.
Trump is like everyone’s marvel superhero, he’s whatever they imagine they want, the alternative to everyone else… Even very legitimate and thought out criticism can somehow conclude with supporting Trump when that makes no sense.
“Hey, asshole. Shut up and get on the plane.”- Trump Administration to this chucklefuck in a couple months.
You voted for this, you stupid motherfucker. Now you get to enjoy the ride like the rest of us.
There won’t be planes, or deportations. There will only be caged slave laborers in concentration camps owned by his friends, with the government (read taxpayers) paying the rent month after month, year after year.
Weird kink you got, mate
Concentration camps might be a bit hyperbolic, but that was actually a fairly accurate description of how private prisons manage to make a profit.
Except for a handful of states that passed legislation to prevent it, the 13th amendment makes an exception allowing involuntarily servitude as the punishment for committing crimes. If they manage to create a kangaroo court designed to be a revolving door of convictions for “illegal immigrants”, they absolutely could keep people effectively locked up as slaves for a while.
Concentration camps might be a bit hyperbolic
It is not. Calling them “death camps” would be hyperbolic because Trump hasn’t started talking about a “final solution” (yet), but “concentration camp” is very much a factually-accurate synonym for the sorts of mass detention facilities necessary to implement deportations at the scale Trump has been proposing.
They are already scouting for sites for the “immigrant detention centers”.
Suppose they achieve their objective. All that money being made? No way that system doesn’t want to swallow even more people, and not “just” immigrants.
You are absolutely correct, but I was trying to avoid being inflammatory and giving an easy strawman when explaining why Trump’s concentration camps are within the realm of possibility.
Concentration camps might be a bit hyperbolic
…donvict and this thugs enter the chat…
Trump’s transition team is looking at how many migrants each region can hold, including in Democratic-controlled metropolitan areas across the country. A source familiar with the plans said they prioritize areas with large migrant populations that lack detention facilities, rather than single out Democratic strongholds.
Cities with large populations of migrants — like Denver, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago — could need additional detention sites built nearby to hold migrants arrested there. The administration might also need to reopen, expand or build new facilities in the Northeast to hold migrants arrested around New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, the source said.
Another source familiar with the plans said so-called sanctuary policies in Democratic cities should not prevent ICE from expanding detention there.
The details of the plan open a window into what Trump has promised will be the “largest deportation operation in American history.” Critics of the plan have said he would lack the money, staffing, willingness from countries to take back migrants, flights and detention space to make it a reality.
They’re the sort of assholes who’d only have ham sandwiches on the flight
I didn’t think the leopards would eat my face!
I mean what did they expect? Yes, i didn’t agree with Bidens current policy or what Kamala was going to do, but I knew trump would be worse.
Man, Americans are so fat even our leopards overeat.
There’s at least 76,430,748 new faces to be eaten. Not enough leopards.
Oh, they will find the leopards.
Sorry my bad, I meant that as to why that leopard was the size it was. Too many faces to eat. Gluttonous.
It’s trueeeeee. But can you blame them? High calorie diet! Americans a yuuuuuge

Facts:
- POTUS45 knew it was a one-time grift so there are no repercussions for him for abandoning his electorate.
- POTUS45 repeatedly stated his desire to help Israel and not even once hinted at idea of peace for Gaza.
- Haris clearly was trying to evade direct answers to Gaza questions which left significant room for after-election change
- Democrats suck (at messaging, at fighting back and at playing hard ball)
- Putting up ultimatums in the middle of election is doomed to failure. I can’t recall one instance where it was successful. I can recall however when existing administration, outside of election cycle, yielded to public pressure…
so with just more obvious facts on the table the entire notion of giving Dems middle finger and literally helping Republicans win was not merely misguided but malicious. Being surprised by the outcome does not speak highly of people involved and their priority. If their priority was stopping the bloodshed they would’ve acted differently, by all means that priority was mainly middle finger to Dems.
I am acutely aware that people are dying and between two administrations the difference is at what scale and whether public has any sway with administration. Present choice out of the gate pointed for larger scale suffering and no public input.
US elections are not pragmatic - they are spectacle of emotions, which is why public elects showman.
it’s not his picks, it’s POTUS45: https://lemmy.world/post/22065845
Thoughts and prayers for the members of the Abandon Harris campaign and Muslims for Trump.
