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!

Ok let me just follow along with this.

The trump adim is saying they can revoke citizenship by pointing to anything and claiming "moral character".

What's to stop them from say "circumcision of children is poor noral character" and jist revoke the citizenship of anyone

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Nothing. That's kind of the point.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

Who has less moral character than Trump?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Sure, take away legal options for people to live their lives. I'm sure that's going to be fine for everyone

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bout the most cringe worthy thing i have ever heard..

A bunch of card carrying Nazis claiming " Morale suparity "

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lost family over this shit. Like how can I look you in the eyes knowing you voted for literal Nazis? How can you put on your cross necklace and pretend you're a good Christian when you chose hate and malice?

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

Same way they've always done

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

At least it was mutable last year. This one ain't looking so hot though.

If only we had the standards for the presidency that we have for newly naturalized citizens.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

That's a grossly overbroad and self-serving reading. This Supreme Court will be completely fine with it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Is it a loophole for presidents too?

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

Nothing of consequence will happen until he starts deporting white people

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Nah he'll just be deporting the right white people. Fascism starts with tue circle really big. Right now the circle includes new age natural health people, Mormons, and Hispanic men. These will be systematically purged. There always has to be an enemy, and the enemy must always be at the boundary of the in group, so as the in group gets smaller new elements of the in group must be designated as enemies who must be purged out of the in group. We've never seen what happens when they run out of groups but I imagine it will just devolve into "Oh you think you're a REAL American because you're 6'2", blond haired, blue eyed, southern baptist, straight, and are descended from original colonists? Well fuck you you degenerate scum for having a cranial ridge that is too large!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I thought he already had.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Smells like what SD in Sweden has been harping on with their 'dålig vandel'. They'd love to have the kinds of power Teh Dånald has.

Social credit system in China sure pissed off a lot of Americans.

But watch us get it under a different name.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

They’ll just tie it to your credit score and call it the freedom score.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago

If moral character was a real issue, Trump would have lost his citizenship long ago. Together with most politicians in Washington DC.
