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!

And she's raising the cash on a supposedly "christian" go fund me-type site. Apparently "do unto others..." is not a thing with maga christians

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There's no such thing as a good Christian. They're all just hate-filled assholes itching to go back to lynching.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

What an ignorant thing to say. I don’t agree with their position on the supernatural, but my generalization ends at their truth claims.

There are many good Christians, good Muslims, good pagans, good satanists, etc. And many bad among them too. Because good and evil is a different axis than theism and atheism. Nice though it would be if everything were so neatly orthogonal.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Pretty hateful thing to say lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ok so then Where’s the Christian’s while kilmar Garcia is getting lynched with no due process while trump edits a picture with ms13 on the knuckles?

Supporting trump and trump lies. That’s where.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Lynched? Do you even know what that means?

Garcia had been to immigration court twice already. He was self admittedly in the country illegally. He was twice found by the immigration courts to be an MS13 member. He has tattoos that are believed to stand for MS13 on his knuckles, not the clearly photoshopped for reference letters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

And he wasn't given due process.

that are believed to stand for MS13

Which is dumb

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

He was given due process though. He was ordered to be deported back home to El Salvador, and then a second judge confirmed he was to be deported on appeal.

Why is the tattoos standing for MS13 “dumb”? They weren’t the only evidence he was ms13 anyway. He hung around self confessed gang members, which is a no no if you’re not a gang member yourself. Confidential informants confirmed he was a member too.

What due process do you believe he wasn’t given? Do I need to remind you that he is a citizen of El Salvador, and was in the USA illegally?

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

He was given due process though.

No he wasn't.

Why is the tattoos standing for MS13 “dumb”?

Pretty fucking self explanatory.

What due process do you believe he wasn’t given?

Maybe being deported without seeing a judge

Do I need to remind you that he is a citizen of El Salvador, and was in the USA illegally?

So? Elon musk was in the us illegally, should he be sent to el Salvador?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 52 minutes ago (1 children)

No he wasn’t.

Maybe being deported without seeing a judge

Did you not read my post?

He was ordered to be deported back home to El Salvador, and then a second judge confirmed he was to be deported on appeal.

He had already seen a judge TWICE in relation to being deported. Both times they ruled to deport him.

Pretty fucking self explanatory.

You're gonna have to explain because no, it's not. The 4 symbols were determined to mean MS13 (Marijuana, Smile, etc). It's a giant coincidence if they just happened to spell out MS13 but aren't MS13, especially given his history with MS13 gang members.

So? Elon musk was in the us illegally, should he be sent to el Salvador?

I'm pretty sure he was in the US legally on a visa and that whole "he was here illegally" thing has been debunked. If Musk was ruled by 2 judges to be MS13 and to be deported then yeah, he should be sent to el salvador. Even the el salvador president says that Garcia is MS13 for crying out loud.

Unfortunately I did.

He was ordered to be deported back home to El Salvador, and then a second judge confirmed he was to be deported on appeal.

And he didn't see them.

The 4 symbols were determined to mean MS13 (Marijuana, Smile, etc). It's a giant coincidence if they just happened to spell out MS13 but aren't MS13, especially given his history with MS13 gang members.

It is a giant coincidence, because it actually means LDCB.

I'm pretty sure he was in the US legally on a visa and that whole "he was here illegally" thing has been debunked. If Musk was ruled by 2 judges to be MS13 and to be deported then yeah, he should be sent to el salvador. Even the el salvador president says that Garcia is MS13 for crying out loud.

Oh right, the "grey" are he said he was in, right completely debunked.

Also if he actually had a chance to see judge before being black bagged, at least it would be a little fair. And what a stupid take, also taking the El Salvadoran presidents word for it is dumb

[–] [email protected] 0 points 37 minutes ago* (last edited 33 minutes ago) (1 children)

And he didn’t see them.

He didn't see what? That he was ordered to be deported? Yes he did - he actually showed up to those court dates back in 2019 lol.

It is a giant coincidence, because it actually means LDCB.

lol so first everyone says that they don't mean anything, now they suddenly mean "LDCB"? Took you guys a few weeks to find something else you can try and claim they mean lol. Also google is turning up a blank for anything with garcia and LDCB.

Also if he actually had a chance to see judge before being black bagged, at least it would be a little fair.

What exactly do you think he needs to see ANOTHER judge for though?

In the country illegally? Check Citizen of El Salvador and only El Salvador? Check Determined to be a MS13 gang member? Check

What exactly do you think another court case would possibly do that the previous ones didn't? Seriously - what "due process" do you think someone who was twice ordered to be deported and determined to be a gang member missed out on when he got deported?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 30 minutes ago (1 children)

Uhuh and why is the administration calling his deportation an error?

lol so first everyone says that they don't mean anything, now they suddenly mean "LDCB"? Took you guys a few weeks to find something else you can try and claim they mean lol

Welcome to the world of sarcasm.

What exactly do you think he needs to see ANOTHER judge for though?

I don't know... due process?

In the country illegally? Check

How was his deportation an error then?

Determined to be a MS13 gang member? Check

Trumps insistence on the matter doesn't make it true

What exactly do you think another court case would possibly do that the previous ones didn't? Seriously - what "due process" do you think someone who was twice ordered to be deported and determined to be a gang member missed out on when he got deported?

Oh idk maybe because he deported in error?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago (1 children)

Uhuh and why is the administration calling his deportation an error?

They're not - they're saying that there was an administrative error on his paperwork. ie a typo, put something in the wrong box, etc. NOT that he shouldn't have been deported.

I don’t know… due process?

WHAT DUE PROCESS? He was ordered by 2 separate judges to be deported. He was there at those court cases. What due process did he not get? What specifically do you think should happen if he is brought back to the US for "due process" to happen? For a third judge to rule yes he is MS13 and yes he should be deported, like the first 2?

How was his deportation an error then?

It wasn't, as I said above.

Trumps insistence on the matter doesn’t make it true

Trump has nothing to do with it. Trump wasn't the one that insisted he was an MS13 member. Trump wasn't either one of the judges back in 2019 who determined that he was MS13.

Oh idk maybe because he deported in error?

He wasn't.

So, ordering him to come back is what? Nothing?

Trump wasn't the one that insisted he was an MS13 member

Did you not see the interview? Lol

He wasn't

He was

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 minutes ago* (last edited 2 minutes ago) (1 children)

The same people that ordered his deportation are not the same people ordering that they have to try and bring him back.

Did you not see the interview? Lol

Trump wasn't the one that made the ruling that he was MS13. That was done by immigration and 2 separate judges 6 years ago, and then confirmed by the president of el salvador when he asked for him to be sent there. Trump was presenting the facts that he was ruled to be MS13 by 2 separate Judges and immigration.

why are they ordering him back?

Trump wasn't the one that made the ruling that he was MS13. That was done by immigration and 2 separate judges 6 years ago, and then confirmed by the president of el salvador when he asked for him to be sent there.

And yet, that's not what happened.

Prove them wrong. Most who loudly proclaim themselves christians, if not all, are more comfortable claiming "Jesus is King" rather than living as He wants them to. They point their fingers at others, spout hatred, and kill in the name of their Lord, rather than help solve poverty, healing the sick, and breaking bread with their neighbours. The billionaire "christians" even try all they can to impose their rigid worldview upon the world, and are (or are indistinguishable from) fascists. The mere existence of them is an affront to the teachings of Jesus Christ; He would throw them out of their temple in disgust. Prove them wrong by ousting these people as the false prophets they are rather than let your children fall to their toxic masculinity, discrimination, and classism.

Yeshua the hardline Orthodox Jew from first century Galilee wouldn’t recognize the religion that sprang up only a few decades after his death, let alone what sprang up in Europe, and especially the various modern sects. He would be appalled that gentiles had created an entirely new religion out of the worship of his idol.
