Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

No, a stroke. Rendering him unable to speak and without fine motor control so he can't tweet or play golf.

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.

If there was a god none of this needed to happen

If there was a god, she went to the store for a pack of cigarettes a loooooooooooong time ago.

Painful slow death, like untreated cancer eating through bones and flesh

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 days ago

No, he would use everyone of those agonizing moments to take “revenge” on the populace

I wish him every cancer after suffering 3rd degree burns all over his body

I really wish we would stop using the term "deporting" for situations like this. That is not what's happening here. "Rendition" and "exile" would be far more accurate.

[–] mormund@feddit.org 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe it's because I'm German. But deporting someone sounds just as inhumane and cruel as the reality we live in.

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Deportation infers that they didn't belong there to begin with. You can't deport a naturally born citizen, and we have another word for which is considered much more cruel: exile.

Might be a language barrier thing but the difference is pretty substantial imo, and I am tired of letting these chuds rework the narrative with their particular choice of words.

[–] mormund@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe. But to me exile is what happens when a King has to live in another plushy castle because he's no longer welcome in his own country. Deportation is what happened to the Jews and minorities that got sent to Auschwitz. And if you're calling it mass deportation I don't think you are trying to hide the cruelty anymore. Cruelty is the point.

[–] Soupbreaker@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

As a native english speaker, I fully agree. Exile is something that happens to the rich and powerful, when they fall out of favor. It does not at all connote what's going on here. Deportation is far more apt.

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Shipped to concentration camps

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Amen to that. It's like calling those terrorists from J6 "rioters".

I'm indigenous, do I get sent back to the reservation?

Andrew Jackson lite's intention is to let you die on the Trail of Tears.

France needs to take back 'lady liberty'

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't know that we'll deserve it for much longer at this rate. Perhaps we should collectively gift it to Ukraine once they've repelled the invader

Nah, let's keep it after we string the SC and president up.

You first. You’re not white, Donald

That's one taco Mexicans don't want. Y'all keep him.

[–] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 49 points 2 days ago (4 children)

So to my understanding Trump is proposing deportation as a means of punishment for violent crimes?

Obviously problematic, especially considering the lack of due process present in some other deportations.

[–] salacious_coaster 47 points 2 days ago

SCOTUS already wrote him a blank check and demonstrated that defying the law has no consequences (for Trump). No one is going to save us.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 24 points 2 days ago

Remember all those videos of police screaming "Stop Resisting" at people who very clearly weren't resisting? Congratulations, you're now a violent criminal.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 2 days ago

He didn't specify violent. This is how they crush dissent

[–] Glide@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He is proposing exile. Deportation is to send someone back to their country of origin. They're already in America.

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

In exile you are unwillingly sent somewhere you don't want to go with the understanding that you can't come back but nobody gives a fuck where else you go. We are shipping people to a prison you are liable to die in and to war torn hell holes. We are trying to kill people without overt gas chambers.

[–] krigo666@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago

You first, convicted felon.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And where would i even go? Honestly. Who would even take me? Naw fuck that, let's fight.

Don't worry - you'll still be in America, you just won't have the rights of a citizen and will live on a camp and do slave labor.

Did you know that Jaywalking is against the law in places?

Colorado for example

https://www.jacobyandmeyers.com/blog/fatal-pedestrian-crash-study/

Colorado has the highest proportion of fatal jaywalking accidents among all pedestrian-related accidents, with 56%. The second highest is Arizona with 45% in addition to ranking second for the highest total count, at 539 fatalities.

Not only are you committing a crime, but you are potentially traumatizing perfectly peaceful citizens on the roadways when you do it.

That is a morally bankrupt thing to do.

YOU'VE NOW BEEN DENATURALIZED AND DEPORTED.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

YOU’VE NOW BEEN DENATURALIZED AND DEPORTED.

Well, they could use this kind of thing after they catch you at a rally against Taco, or after you speak out on social media, or are overheard by Taco's Nazi collaborators to say something unflattering about Taco.

What the fuck is he not going to say at this point. His mouth is a spewing fountain of fake-poor scented diarrhea. Populist my ass.

He's made so many incoherent open threats, he now sounds like someone who's drunk who's about to lose a fight.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lolololololol. My bloods been here since the second boat after the Mayflower. I will take so many wanna be tough guys with me if they try and remove my citizenship.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

My wife and daughter look like plausible immigrants, I live in a very gun friendly state and I’m strongly considering carrying anytime we are out in public. These gestapo type arrests has me very concerned. __

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"You're over reacting" really means "not my problem."

The constant bombardment of propganda across generations has given birth to an oblivious fascism, an artificially induced anti-intellectualism. We are forced to parse infinite amounts of information. Truth amalgamates across countless medium, and each person bears the responsibility of deriving a conclusion. The mind has proven time and time again that we are entirely capable of self deception and there is always those who look to exploit this. It's subconscious warfare.

I just want to say, although I hate how things are going, I like the way you describe them.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

So he is going to send me back to Scotland?? Oh no please not Scotland. What ever would I do? Fuck man send me back to Scotland or Ireland. But that in not what he is implying. He will strip you of your rights and magicly those rotting crops in California get picked. Buy Ammo kids. That is what this is going to come to.

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And where, pray tell, would he deport US citizens to?

[–] jonne 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

There's already precedent for sending them to El Salvador. The courts don't seem able to stop them, so they'll do whatever they want.
