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.
- 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.
- 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

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!

Seems like that leopard hasn't eaten enough of your face.
Or he just doesn't really love her and maybe he already has his sights set on some new lady.
I wouldn't even rule out that he or a close family member might have been the one to call ICE.
IDK, I think this is a great example of how insidious the republican propaganda truly is. Going by whats in the article, it seems like he really does love his wife. The issue seems to be that ~~he's fundamentally an idiot~~ he really believes in the myth of Trump as the maverick beltway outsider who's lack of government experience means he's the only one able to clear up the injustices and inefficencies of our current government.
Seriously, this is what they believe. MAGA voters aren't the crazed immigrant-hating bible-spewing few that grab attention and make such a convenient person for us to hate, they're average people who can generally identify the injustices of the system... but have been sold the idea that, somehow, trump is going to fix them. And not just fix them, fix them so the people who let them get this way will be punished for their willful nay intentional neglect and therefore geit their just comeuppance for all the cruelty they inflicted by being such ~~jews~~ greedy, lazy, people.
.... yeah, so this guy is a Grade-A imbecile, but hes been drinking a very cloying brand of kool-ade that presents the cruelty as anyone else's fault besides the republicans.
Hey dipshit, under Biden your wife wasn't deported. Trump did that.
Who does your conservative-rotted pea brain think broke it?
In his mind, it's probably Biden's fault.
They're often not even that partisan, they assume biden is just yet another symptom of the corruption thats been ongoing for decades. Centrists that croon on about how Both Sides Are The Same don't just mean that Dems are corrupt, it means republicans are too. Thats why they're so quick to turn on their own if they don't fall in line with trump - hes the only one that isn't an insider, so anyone that opposes him is clearly trying to defend or protect the old corrupt government, and therefor isn't really on their side.
In general conservatives can't see the injustice of the system until it affects them directly.
Well, no. You're absolutely right. Conservative media doesn't tell them about it, liberal media is (they're told) full of manipulated lies, how else are they going to learn about how unjust the system is, besides firsthand experience? They're effectively denied any other avenue to find out.
The question then becomes how many times does that scenario need to play out before they finally realize what's actually happening?
I firmly believe something needs to be done about the thousands upon thousands of churches preaching MAGAism and pretending it's Christianity. So much of what's wrong can be directly traced to that.
Fair enough, maybe I was too harsh.
Thanks for doing the research.
You'd think he'd do that before the expenses of a soon-to-be irrelevant wedding.
