    This is just more noise and bullshit like demanding to see Obama’s birth cert.

    Possible? Absolutely.

    Likely? I dont think so. Stripping a person of citizenship because they are of the opposing party feels like a line in the sand. How do you defend that? At that point its over for America. Like pack it up and every person who is not a straight white christian should be looking to get the fuck out

      They are already abducting and “deporting” US citizens. Your line in the sand has been crossed. Just because they haven’t done it yet to one of your parasocial relationship chosen-ones doesn’t mean it isn’t already happening.

      Keep in mind we are dealing with the same administration that is throwing a tantrum over being told to feed starving children in their own country.

      Well, how do they defend the fact that theyre currently kidnapping US citizens? Id say deporting them but most of these US citizens (mind you they never got a trial) just vanish without a trace. Tbh it seems a lot more likely theyre being trafficked.

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try. It’s painfully obvious they want to start violence so they can justify martial law. Republicans are literal traitors to US ideals and it sickens me to see. All my life I’ve had to hear these dumb yokel fucks go on and on about how much they supposedly love this nation, but they couldn’t care less.

    Just come out and say it you fucking cowards: you are simply racist and have hatred towards Palestinians.

    I will dislike you more, but at least you are honest in this regard.

      I would actually dislike them less if they would just fucking own up to their own bigot shit. They love being Schrodinger’s racists, though

    Of course it’s possible. We cannot allow it within our society, and it’s certainly illegal to do so. The only thing that stops the people who uphold the law from ignoring the law is if people actually stand up to it, since clearly our separation of powers has failed us.

    It is possible, obviously. It might not be legal, but we all know that doesn’t stop the Trump admin.

      No they won’t, New York has it’s own political capital in the form of a massive city that centralizes international trade and politics, and a tight-knight community around that culture. This is why his election is such a huge deal.

      Whoever in the administration is still talking about this is just babbling nonsense for their base so they can look like they’re big strong tough guys who are fighting the eeeevil brown people communists.

      If they actually made a plan to deport the fucking mayor of NEW YORK it would get shot down by every court in the land. They know this, everyone with a brain knows this, so that should tell you who this narrative is being written for.

        New York is resilient if nothing else. It is a dirty, grimy, hazardous city and you have to learn to look out for each other if you want to survive. If they come after the Zo at this point they will disturb the entire wasp’s nest. The people supporting the fascists are the same ones who are too scared to set foot in NYC on a nicer day

        I say this as a proud New Yorker, but also because fuck fascists

          Big city mindset is something else altogether than that of the countryside or even small city: it’s an environment that teaches people to have a very low threshold to endure shit from others, even the “nicest” people, because when you live surrounded by thousands of people 24/7 and have to cross paths with literally tens of thousands every day just by walking on the street, enduring shit from others will quickly end up with you getting swamped by crap.

          Further, in my own experience (granted, mainly in European cities), the bigger the city the more the people there have a big city’s very own special kind of grit. You can see this is even how pedestrians deal with traffic - the bigger the city the less people are willing to just wait for the signs to change and the more likely they are to just tell somebody blocking the way of other pedestrians to “either fucking move or fucking get out of the way”.

          Of the people I’ve known over the years the only ones with an even lower threshold for taking shit than me were New Yorkers.

        It’s the kind of action that in the current environment risks triggering a break-up of the US and it’s pretty much a certainty that if that happens Trumpistan isn’t going have any of the rich parts in it.
