Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s decision to move unwitting migrants to Martha’s Vineyard last week has been compared to a “ethnic cleansing with genocidal precedence” by a philosopher who has closely studied dehumanization and its role in genocide and the Holocaust.

“Of course this is not genocide, but it is reminiscent of awful things that have happened in the past. As soon as you start treating human beings as undesirable problems to dump on others, you are in very dangerous territory,” said David Livingstone Smith, a professor of philosophy at the University of New England.

“What frightens me most actually is that someone who does these sort of acts is capable of doing much worse,” he said.

The remarks by Smith, who is the author of Making Monsters: The Uncanny Power of Dehumanization, come as dozens of more people, many of whom are migrants who are believed to have come from Venezuela, arrived in Washington DC on Saturday morning after being bused from Texas. The migrants, including a one-month-old baby, were dropped in front of the Naval Observatory, where Vice-President Kamala Harris resides.

The shuttling of about 50 migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard – with a stop in Florida – last week has been condemned by US president Joe Biden and human rights groups after it emerged that the migrants were lied to and told they were being sent to Boston to find jobs and opportunities. Lawyers for the individuals have called on state officials in Massachusetts to investigate the incident, including the circumstances around the two charter flights that transported them to the Massachusetts island, which were arranged by DeSantis.

From your buddies at the ministry of truth:

While serving as a U.S. senator representing Delaware, Joe Biden voted for two pieces of legislation — once in 1983 and once in 1993 — that resulted in up to 85% Social Security income becoming taxable.

The legislation passed in 1983 made up to half of Social Security income taxable for individuals making more than $25,000, or couples making $32,000. The second piece of legislation, in 1993, resulted in resulted in making up to 85% Social Security income taxable.

And I’m living proof of that as I need to complete yet another worksheet for the IRS that results in 85% of our SS income being taxable. And FJB vote FOR both pieces of legislation.

FJB and the horse he rode in on. And just like you, he’s nothing but a lying liar and has been his whole life.
