Maher Tarabishi’s family had hoped he could be present to say his final goodbyes to his son, Wael.

Maher, Wael’s primary caretaker, has been in federal detainment since October, separating him from his son as he battled severe health complications from a serious and rare inherited disorder.

But despite the family’s public pleas for Maher’s temporary release, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials denied their request, his attorney said

      I doubt most people on Lemmy voted for Trump. I certainly didn’t. I believe the dumb cunts you are looking for are over on X.

      Yes, me, the dumb cunt that has voted in every election for progressive leaders. My apologies to my fellow Americans for electing Trump.

        With the way our election system works, not voting for Harris was the same as voting for Trump.

          Well, I guess I should’ve said I voted as progressive as possible within the confines of our election system. Doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as well haha.

          Does that mean not voting for Trump was the same as voting for Harris?

          Infinite vote glitch!

          Holocaust Harris didn’t deserve to win either, with promising “no deviation” from Biden’s genocidal policies and “the most lethal military in the history of the world.” Stop licking the boot just because it’s blue. Stop voting for genocide to protect your own privileged domestic comfort.

            Your attacks on Harris’ character with no factual explanation is ludicrous. As for an inability to form a coherent thought, I distinctly remember her laying out clearly, concisely, and publicly several concrete policies with high level actions to reach the goals both in speeches and in debates. In fact, I heard criticism of her because she was too “intellectual” or detailed. Trump, on the other hand constantly rambles, goes off topic, uses words incorrectly and makes up whole new words. Your assertions are laughable on the surface.

            You can disagree with her approach to policy, but attacking her personally in such a virulent fashion only shows you have no counter argument to her positions and are attacking her because she’s not in your “tribe”. In fact, your use of vicious nicknames gives a very strong impression that you are very much a Trump/MAGA partisan. Those people are well known to lack any kind of critical thinking and totally reject any factual information that counters their world view.

              brother the factual explanation is the United Nations determinations that the Zionazi entity is guilty of genocide

              didnt read whatever else you said because nothing else matters except the fact that she is a genocidaire

              Ok. Trump isn’t either. He wants to be, but he isn’t - still mostly obeying the courts for now, even if he drags his feet a bit sometimes.

              Would she have been as bad domestically? Probably not, but there’s danger in that too - allowing liberals to overlook the heinous crimes of the American empire, as so many did during Biden’s presidency, because their own privileged comfort was never at risk. Only the lives of thousands of brown people overseas and well, that’s just the cost of ““democracy””, isn’t it?

              Anyway, as I said, she still would’ve lost even if she secured every single third-party vote, so you’re yelling into a quantifiable abyss here. She was a shit candidate and will be a shit candidate still if she runs again, just like Hillary Clinton.

                What part of two choices are you not understanding? There’s no reality in which Kamala Harris is as bad as Trump. Bad yes. As bad? It’s not even close.

            By voting for neither you said you were fine with everything Trump and project 2025 promised.

            Life doesn’t always give you perfect options, but in this case one was significantly worse than the other.

            Now instead of getting 4 years to regroup and push progressivism, we get an unknown number of years of fascism.

              No, by voting for neither I voted for nothing Trump and Project 2025 promised. I also was not willing to greenlight genocide of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of human beings to protect my own comfort by voting for Holocaust Harris.

              I disagree that one was worse than the other

              Now instead of getting 4 years to regroup and push progressivism

              Right, because that worked so well with the DNC rigging primaries against Bernie Sanders (who is already a compromise insofar as he’s a liberal Zionist), Biden praising the police sent to beat nonviolent student protestors at UCLA, promising “no red lines” for the Zionazi entity, Harris campaigning with relative of infamous war criminal Dick Cheney, and pledging the “most lethal military in the history of the world”. I mean for fuck’s sake, Trump even pursued cannabis rescheduling before the Dems did!

              as VP she pushed for an official investigation into Israel so they could bypass the law forcing them to provide arms.

              ok

              and what happened as a result of that?

              Nothing? Yes, Democrats are excellent actors in our democracy theater routine, at least until recently.

                You really don’t have any comprehension of the concept of prioritization, do you?

                By abstaining all you did is greenlight a genocide in your own damn country. There was no option that resulted in the US not funding Israel. It was an issue that was irrelevant to the election.

                You’re complicit in everything Trump does because you did nothing to stop him. All that’s required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

      A third voted for him. One third. Another third didn’t like either choice and didn’t vote. The final third but the bullet and voted for Harris.

        And a bunch of the votes in the first third are suspect. I mean, Trump admitted multiple times on camera that they were rigged

      So, by your statement, you believe all Americans voted for Trump twice. Another person unwilling to think before writing and also full of blind hate, I presume? I’m only guessing since those two sentences are my only insight into your personality. There’s actually growing evidence that someone (cough ELON cough) hacked the election counting machines in several states and altered the votes. Obviously, until the evidence is presented and verified it can’t be assumed correct, but Trump himself alluded to Elon’s help in Pennsylvania during a post-victory speech.
