...read what Maryland said and respond to that.
You haven't proven anything, and this is a waste of my time. People should produce proof if they're goingto go around on public sites bandying someone's name around making unsubstantiated charges.
Fine, I guess for a public official claiming to be doing her job, but what is this shit with people who have no dog in this dragging this man?
I guess people do this because they know his immigrant status keeps him from fighting back.
What a shithole nation.
Tell me, how does any of what he's accused of affect you in any direct way?
And what's the actual harm in letting him work this out for himself? I can see making an effort to defend him, that makes sense in this nazi atmosphere of inflamed fears and recrimination, but what is supposed to be the purpose of representing him in such a derogatory way?
Are we supposed to join in demonizing him? How do you credibly do that without knowing all of the facts in his case?
What was the actual harm to anyone in misrepresenting something in his application. Isn't fudging an application sort of a thing in America?
And what's the con there? Apparently he did the work. A con would be taking money and not doing the job, not doing the job he was hired for. Where evidence he didn't do his job?
And why is a loaded gun in a vehicle such a big deal in Iowa where anyone can obtain a permit to do that in the state?
And why isn't ANYONE charging him with fraud if he 'conned' someone?
No fraud charges from DOJ or the state.
No election fraud charges from Maryland.
One narcotics 'charge' from '96 with no resolution listed after all that time, and one dismissed.
All of this leaked and hyped, not only from NOEM's DHS, but from the republican legislative official from my state.
Have people grinding down on this considered that they're doing NOEM's work for her in smearing this man?
All I see here are crimes against some ignorant immigration regs that most administrations wouldn't bother with. But because he's on this immigration hook, it's open season on him like a man fudging his application is some sort of threat to someone.
That's what NOEM intends here, and it's been rather successful in the way she's framed this nothingburger thrown at a man who was apparently doing the job he was hired for. Some fraud.
How hard was it to fire him and move the fuck on? But we can't because he's a scary migrant that had a gun and was accused of something with drugs..
NOEM: "He's a criminal illegal alien with drug charges who had a loaded gun and a knife.
Me: Of course, I'm now fucking shitting myself, afraid of even saying those words. Jumping Jebadiah help protect us from this man working in the public school system who was apparently doing his job. Keep us safe from whatever he was and is accused of, even if no one can tell us exactly what that is.
And protect us from the registration that this republican legislative official from my state claimed he had. Even though the state says it's no big deal and was never used to vote in all the time since it's projected that he was supposed to have gotten it in 2012, I'm still saying it must be so because, I saw something on a website somewhere that I won't share.
Believe me. End times.
