      Hypocrisy is an expression of power.

      “I get to do this, you don’t.”

      Power is the only language they speak.

      It’s why they don’t care if Trumps policies hurt them as well as long as they get to see liberals steaming mad about it. It’s about feeling like they have power over your emotional state.

      (It’s also why so many of them are fucking rapists since rape is about power, not sex.)

      We really, really need to start speaking the same language back to them, since it’s the only thing they understand.

            That’s the thing I’ve never understood. It doesn’t feel good to be an asshole, it’s really not all that hard to just mind your own businesses and have empathy.

    Uh, I don’t think he’s talking about exile in the traditional sense. Sounds more like outsourcing prisons to other nations.

      I would say this is even worse than exile. Basically paying other countries with less oversight on human rights to torture people he doesn’t like.

      How long until this becomes a weapon against his political opponents or dissidents?
