Ousted border control commander Greg Bovino launches MAGA revolt

Ousted Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino has gone from angling for his job back to launching a full-scale attack on the Trump administration.

Bovino, the one-time face of Donald Trump’s brutal deportation operation that culminated in the deaths of two U.S. citizens at the hands of federal agents, condemned the president and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for what he described as a move to “water down mass deportations.”

On Sunday, Bovino shared a video of himself speaking at the Remigration Summit in the coastal city of Porto, Portugal, where far-right Europeans gathered to promote the mass expulsion of immigrants and minority groups from their countries. Ahead of the event, Bovino spoke to a far-right news outlet and said he was now in “battle” not with immigrants but with “timid politicians” afraid to target them on a mass scale, singling out Trump’s “inner circle.”

“Mullin’s a great guy, great plumber, no doubt about that; he could probably fix a leaky faucet,” Bovino said of Mullin, who worked at his family plumbing business before he became a senator. “But a hundred million illegal aliens is not a leaky faucet.”

Trump himself has made the same claim.

They don't know shit from Shine-ola. That is not dementia. It is insanity.

Everyone talks about FatAss surrounding himself with Yes Men but those men are surrounding themselves with what they see as lesser Yes Men and so on until you have a pyramid of fascists. The Authoritarian inherently weakens internal government stability while exerting excessive government force externally to maintain their status making it possible for the craziest of the cray crays to squirm to the top. We may be seeing this in real time.

but what concerns me most is there's a huge enough segment of people from around the world who are on the same mental/emotional/psychological scale as T, and working on his timetable. What this tells me is that even if we can get rid of trump and his associates throughout our government, there are governments all over the world that mimic his... not just the 2 or 3 big ones that we know about. This doesn't bode well for the world, in general, nor the planet, specifically.

that illegally hire undocumented migrants. Both the business and the migrant worker used to have to apply for work visas and Reagan stopped enforcement to cut expenses for businesses and then they started recruiting people to come here illegally.

Republicans were fine with that until the workers started having children here and the children became citizens. This is all part of the white nationalist drive to keep America a white majority country. The Hispanic population was the fastest growing segment of the population and were forecast to become 25% of the population by 2032 so that Hispanic, African and African American, and Asian Americans combined would number more than white Americans.

That's why Trump suggested people should come here from Finland and now wants white refugees from South Africa but wants to deport Middle Eastern, African, Haitian, Jamaican, and anybody from South or Central America.

If you didn't want them here why didn't you penalize the businesses?

Rohm didn't fare to well, neither will Bovino I am guessing.
