Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Don’t take this as a defense of the current administration but this is a baseless thing to say and honestly nothing points at this being the case. They are just doing everything carelessly and without any regards for decency or due process in order to deliver on their promise to export all immigrants. This is the bone they throw to their base in order to maintain support while they grift their assess off pulling all kinds of corruption behind the scenes. It’s clear at this point that there is no ideological backing to Trump, it’s all about enriching himself.
But here’s why these happens: they are not looking at each case individually they are simply canceling visas en masse hoping that cases like this will self flag. Which was the case here. It’s not a good way to go about things but the conman ran on doing just this, this is what the voters chose and in a way it’s his duty to do so. I don’t agree with it but that’s democracy at work.
Second there’s no mechanism for a president to declare martial law. I mean he can declare it as much as you can declare you’re brankrupt, but that is not the same thing as going through the process of bankruptcy. The only ones that can actually declare martial law are the states. There are various laws that prevent the deployment of the military inside the US in such a way.
Of course you could retort with something along the lines of “do you think the laws still matter?”. In which case we can sit here and dream up all kinds of things they could do if they really wanted to do what you say. Like start rounding up immigrants and shooting them on the spot. Or maybe they could start bombing sanctuary cities. Why not drop a nuke in Chicago? It’s all game since the laws don’t matter and they explicitly want people to revolt. Hell why not put everyone that is registered as a democrat behind bars, that’ll do it in a day.
It is not even clear to me that a martial law would be successful in the US except in the cities. Too much space, too many armed people. So please stay grounded in reality.
Oh, please. Want to buy some waterfront property? It's on the moon, but eh.
They are absolutely trying to push people over the edge. And the human trafficking is so he can disappear political opponents. Fucker has already threatened to start doing exactly that.
You sure about that? Would you be willing to bet your life on it. Bcz I sure wouldnt. At this point, its hard to tell what's intentional, and what isn't.
