I wish I was making this up. In what can only be described as Trump's version of The Hunger Games, Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem is pitching a reality show where immigrants compete against each other for citizenship.
It's clear the U.S. has completely lost its way, thanks in large part to the Mormons who supported Trump in overwhelming numbers in the last 3 elections.
She's been called 'ICE Barbie' for treating her Cabinet position like a TV production, but now Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for an actual reality show pitting immigrants against each other 'for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship'.
It may sound like a joke, but the idea is for real and is outlined in a 35-page program pitch put together in coordination with the DHS secretary, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
Noem is even offering up officials from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to tally votes for the made-for-TV contest.
What Is Stephen King’s Novel ‘The Running Man’ About?
Written by King under the Richard Bachman pseudonym, The Running Man novel was first released in 1982.
The book imagines what life would look like in 2025, and King was not kind to American society.
That's because in The Running Man, democracy was replaced with an authoritarian system designed to keep people in line, as social inequality creates an unbridgeable gap between the wealthy minority and the poor masses. In this system, violence and entertainment are tools used by the elites to foment dissent among the oppressed, so that they never even think about the possibility of rebelling.
While we are not quite there yet, we can't say King completely misses the mark with his dystopia, as many of the issues he explores are indeed part of today's world...
In The Running Man, people are invited to become part of brutal reality shows where they can bet their lives in exchange for huge money prizes....[like citizenship status?]
"I have learned with what evils tyranny infects a state. For it frustrates all the virtues, robs freedom of its lofty mood, and opens a school of fawning and terror, inasmuch as it leaves matters not to the wisdom of the laws, but to the angry whim of those who are in authority.”

It's basically The Apprentice remade. Instead of "You're Fired!" the catchline is "You're Deported!", and instead of a job for the winner, they get a green card. What a great way to manage citizenship. It's becoming very hard to see America as anything other than a South Park parody.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.
How many different ways are there to say that Republicans are selfish stupid assholes?
Or, perhaps even more accurately, "sadistic sickos."
