Against my better judgment, I had to listen to Trump in this speech (presently going on) somewhere in New York. Brentwood? I came in about the time he was talking about the wonderful police force and then working his way into gangs/immigration and torture. It was as though he was relishing each descriptive phrase of how criminals were torturing children by chopping them up with machetes a little at a time to watch them suffer as they died. He seems to savor that subject.
Is torture his fantasy? How he gets his jollies? I never listen to his speeches, so is this something new or has he been talking about torture and killing like this all along?

They're all a bunch of fetishists.

(844 posts)He loves to add how our guys can be worse ; worse than MS13 psychotics hopped up on meth, swinging machetes at people... yeah. Just what I want to hear. Trump giving ICE authority to pillage and torture.
He kept insisting that they own whole towns that must be liberated.

"On the night of April 11, a dozen MS-13 gang members, wielding machetes, wooden clubs and knives, ambushed a group of young Latino men in a Long Island park, beating and killing four."
"MS-13 was responsible for 17 killings in the county since January of last year; arrests have been announced in eight of those murders. Known in Spanish as La Mara Salvatrucha, MS-13 has its roots in Los Angeles and El Salvador, and while it has existed in Suffolk County for two decades, it has increased its violence here in the last two years."
