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!

I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I'll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.

It’s handy when the trash takes itself out, isn’t it.

It would've been, but I don't know why you're saying that now because it clearly didn't. We decided to fucking wallow in it instead.

It doesn’t work like that.

If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.

On top of them just sounding like a total psycho. It’s interesting watching liberals become what they hate so quickly lol

The Haitians were here legally and he campaigned on kicking them out. And if you think the supreme court is about to defend any monitory's rights you haven't been paying attention. He's gone on record saying it's okay if they screw up a few times deporting people

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that ICE can’t deport citizens.

Our newly Republican controlled Congress, however, can legislate denaturalization.

Laws only matter where there's a will and power to enforce them. This supreme court has made it clear the president can break laws if its an "official" order. I don't think it's likely but it's absolutely possible. Europe didn't see WW2 coming and plenty of Jews were German citizens. None of this is even unprecedented

If they voted then they aren’t illegally here?
