That’s the real issue. If there was some rare thing where someone’s gotten to citizenship under false pretenses, for example lying on applications about something like membership in a terrorist organization, the type of thing which would have precluded them ever being allowed here in the first place, that’s one thing. And that’s also currently on the books.
Zero indication that they’re thinking anything nearly so narrow and in meeting the intent of what’s on the books.
Going after people looking for some error in decades old paperwork based on their political views today alone, that’s beyond scary.
I’ve been worried since the election about Jose Andres. Mamdani may have moved ahead of him in their line, but Andres would be quite a takedown for them.
It’s simple. We follow what the right did over abortion. First, we make it clear that no one can hide. That time will not protect you. That if we catch you and you’re in your 90s, you’re going to fucking prison and we will strip your assets if necessary. Collaborators will never be safe. There will be no pleas, no sanctuary, no reprieve. Then we actually do it. We track down every ICE agent, we go over every document and we prosecute these people forever. we make it clear that an attack on democracy will never be tolerated, and those who try it will suffer for the rest of their lives.
In short, we make it a 50-year plan if we have to, but we put the fear of god into anyone who pulls this shit. Only one side can win and if we pussy out on this, we lose. Forever.
I can’t wait for the Times reporters to ask their best buddies - Trump voters in diners - if arresting all these people and torturing them is making their own lives better. Of course it is … (at least in response to a Times reporter). Richer and more sexually appealing?
Only a fraction of the people even identified as associated with war crimes were convicted, and that list was itself a fraction of the entire bureaucracy and military.
And it’s counterproductive to any goals to state that you’re going to go after everyone, no matter how tangentially involved, not even accounting for what their roles were or what they did— all that does is lock up support on the other side to ensure that everyone stays loyal.
Now, legal action against the architects and those who engage in abuses and that, fine and correct, and the 28 candidate better be running on that platform.
Problem is Times reporters are at best C students. They never ask the right follow up questions to these imbeciles, which is “how” and “why” over and over and over. Ask these morons either of those questions once and they totally collapse. they don’t have a fucking clue of the how or why behind the bullshit meme they just belched and they know it. Watch the videos of Klepper or the good liars and they ask that question, and they get people walking away, getting pissed off. it’s hilarious. imagine if Times reporters had the same smarts and convicitons of comedians.
Monopoly: Trump edition. We are honored to inform you that you are no longer a citizen. Go directly to Alligator Auschwitz. Do not pass Go. Do not collect two hundred dollars. Good luck.
whether the administration will apply this kind of nihilistic legal maneuvering to claim that
It doesn’t matter what it claims. That is, it doesn’t matter to Trump.
While pundits pundit upon this, the United States is allying itself with Russia, quietly letting money and ammo flow to Russia’s lust for ruthless killing.
Agreed.
Once youre out of the country without due process this corrupt regime is done with you.
And theyll eventually go deeper into history to find that children of people who illegally migrated are benefiting from Fruit of the Posion Tree and thus the whole lineage can be denaturalized.
You say your family has lived in Okie since the place became a territory? Ok. Prove it.
Whats that now? You dont have a complete geneology supported with primary documents? No passport? You lost your docs in a recent tornado?
Uh huh - Likely story…
Try this black hood on for size.
The gate swings both ways. Imagine if you made every Redneck in Alabama produced a Live Birth certificate or be deported to the Congo. How many of them could even FIND a notarized birth certificate ?
These bastards are setting up Trump Nation for a huge fall if they keep this shit up and a fickle Electorate flips the table again in 2026 and 2028 ?
President Biden was way too tolerant. After J6 whole bunch of the first Trump administration got off unpunished. That can’t happen again. I will only vote for the Democrat in the Primary who makes holding Trump and his dick suckers to account as their top priority.
Nearly half of all Chileans supported Pinochet, notwithstanding the torture and murder of tens of thousands of Chilean citizens during his dictatorship.
This is something that people don’t seem to get: people in dictatorships go to the movies, operas, plays, sports events and restaurants. They accommodate themselves and more than a few buy into it. (Later, they all claim to have been opposed the whole time.)
The classic question of “how did the German people let this happen?” is now “how did the American people let this happen?” Except we believe that we are fundamentally different: we’re rugged individuals who believe in democracy and freedom and we’re going rise up and such. Not really. We all know what “sic semper tyrannis!” means but that ethos is now, “well, just you wait until the midterms!” Our society is in a state of collapse but we see the outward forms of what we grew up with and think, “we’re still okay.” This is a situation that none of us who have grown up here really appreciates as being at its core, unlike what has ever occurred in our history. There’s no small measure of hyperbole there, yes, but none of this feels right at all. It feels ominous and dangerous.
