[applegrove]

Tom Homan, Trump’s incoming border czar, is pitching the idea of “a hotline to report undocumented immigrants suspected of crimes.” And you know some motherf*ckers will gladly use it, justified or not.

Folks better prep to carry proof of citizenship, because racial profiling will run wild.

1. Seems like a good hotline to load up with false tips

Have them chase their tails. Fuck them.

[MMBeilis]

5. I figure a quarter million "tips" per day should do it.

[IzzaNuDay]

24. I'd be using an untraceable burner phone for that!

Not sure if the messenger would also be in trouble!

[uponit7771]

31. They don't have to be false either ... Homan is a being horrible

[Johonny]

2. I would hate for people to abuse this

[JoseBalow]

7. Yes, that would be a shame

[moniss]

3. Report Melanie several thousand times per day. nt

[GoCubsGo]

8. Eloon, too. nt

[rubbersole]

21. And Thiel.

He's turning out to be pretty ignorant and shallow. A common trait with these assholes.

[Initech]

6. It's hard to pick who the scarier cabinet member is - Tom Homan or Pete Hegseth.

Fuck both of them and I hope they both rot in the hottest of hells.

[2naSalit]

11. I think that...

If that boozer gets the job, he might have a serious mishap shortly thereafter.

[Initech]

17. He should probably stay away from windows and ledges.

[venusgirl]

9. Stalin

This is straight out of Stalin’s playbook!

[Blue_Tires]

10. Everyone needs to report Melon Husk

Along with Donnie's trophy wife and his "anchor babies"...

[struggle4progress]

12. I really suspect some guy named Tom Homan of being a criminal

[Mark.b2]

13. I hate, hate, hate tip lines to turn in fellow citizens and residents....

when we’ve had water rationing, they give out tip lines to report neighbors who wash their cars or water their lawns. And there were even tip lines during COVID to report gatherings of people. No way I’m becoming a sneak to report potential illegals just like I would report some grandma watering her roses in July. If the govt wants to catch people, they can do it themselves!

[applegrove]

19. I think a pandemic is different. Especially when it was Putin

Who elevated the anti-vaccine movement on the right that went after the covid vaccines.

[Intractable]

14. And he knows it will be abused with false tips, like many have suggested above.

It's just part of the smoke screen of false appearances they will display to make it look like they are serious about deporting millions.

15. Brings back memories of Covid 19 hotlines to report violations of stay at home orders

[Tickle]

27. I almost forgot we've done this

before. What could go wrong?

[Blue_Tires]

30. Or the "my neighbor got an abortion" hotline in Texas

Or the "my kid's schoolteacher is teaching woke history and critical race theory" hotline we had here in Virginia 👎

FWIW, I did do my civic duty and reported Donnie to the abortion hotline in Texas...

[Historic NY]

18. That ought to go over well

call in and report illegal at 1600 PA

[idahoblue]

20. We could all call the hotline

Give false information, send them to parks, bridges, culverts, uninhabited places. Keep them busy.

[AverageOldGuy]

22. Here in Virginia . . .

. . . Our current governor Glenn Youngkin was elected in Nov 2021 on a platform of lies, including that schools were teaching “CRT” — Critical Race Theory - that was designed to make white kids ashamed of being white.

He established a hotline — immediately dubbed a “snitch line” - where people could report teachers.

The line was quietly and without fanfare taken down after a few weeks because all the calls were pranks, anti-Youngkin, and general foolishness.

So let Trump bring it on.

[Straw Man]

25. The former East Germany called ....

They [don't] want their Stasi back.

[MacKasey]

26. This reminds me of Nazi Germany

[ExciteBike66]

28. Haven't they learned their lesson with hotlines already?

I'm going to report Melania!

[Hugin]

29. How to say you have a deeply unpopular pogrom, without saying it. n/t
