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 really wish we would stop using the term "deporting" for situations like this. That is not what's happening here. "Rendition" and "exile" would be far more accurate.

And where, pray tell, would he deport US citizens to?

There's already precedent for sending them to El Salvador. The courts don't seem able to stop them, so they'll do whatever they want.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

El Salvador will only take in men though, right? If that's the case, what'll happen to the women and children?

They've sent people to Sudan as well. They'll find some country that'll take money to take them in.

Damn. Human trafficking on a grand scale out in the open. Good luck to all Americans. Fight the good fight.

What the fuck is he not going to say at this point. His mouth is a spewing fountain of fake-poor scented diarrhea. Populist my ass.

He's made so many incoherent open threats, he now sounds like someone who's drunk who's about to lose a fight.

You first, convicted felon.

So to my understanding Trump is proposing deportation as a means of punishment for violent crimes?

Obviously problematic, especially considering the lack of due process present in some other deportations.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

Remember all those videos of police screaming "Stop Resisting" at people who very clearly weren't resisting? Congratulations, you're now a violent criminal.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

He didn't specify violent. This is how they crush dissent

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago

SCOTUS already wrote him a blank check and demonstrated that defying the law has no consequences (for Trump). No one is going to save us.

It will comes.

Too late and not bad enough.

CEOs will be able to crowd source a replacement. Their financial position allows them the upper hand in a highly corrupt pay-to-play political system.

Society will thus go in the direction they choose, which will be to always have people like Trump around. People who are willing to use their reputation and efforts to steal from the poor and give to the wealthy.

Killing Trump is not just a good idea, but a necessary social control... and there still needs to be actions beyond that too.

No, a stroke. Rendering him unable to speak and without fine motor control so he can't tweet or play golf.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

and so he'd be able to see all people around taking advantage of the situation until he's useless and out of wealth

If there is a god, it will happen on live television.

Painful slow death, like untreated cancer eating through bones and flesh

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

No, he would use everyone of those agonizing moments to take “revenge” on the populace
