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
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 doubt it. We've already tolerated a near complete collapse of the rule of law and masked goon squads kidnapping people in the streets. Disappearing one more brown guy probably isn't going to move that needle much.
New Yorkers are a hard bunch. I would expect some enthusiastic protest if their guy got taken from them before he could even get in office.
Millions of people around the country turned out to protest that, and the protests are ongoing. Also, this isn’t “one more brown guy,” he’s one of the most visible politicians in the country right now.
Yeah, it also looks like it actually increased participation in LA, which the ICE, NG and Marines supposed to scare
I understand that things are happening. I've been to some of those protests and seen the people making a stand firsthand. It's certainly not nothing. I'm just saying that the response we've seen so far is what I would have predicted for his first term. We should be making a bunch of fascists a foot shorter by now.
Revoking citizenship is an extreme move. They don't even revoke citizenship of criminals.
This would be crossing a line they are unlikely to even understand.
It's illegal under international law. Because it creates a stateless person, which is a huge problem
He technically wouldn't be stateless since he's (according to the Wikipedia page) a dual citizen of US and Uganda.
Edit: To clarify, it would still be a violation of the US constitution to use trumped-up accusations to denaturalize someone, but its technically not against international laws.
If that happens, I'll personally burn down multiple police stations. Just on principle.
I'll join you happily. I'm just pretty confident that we will be easy to arrest since it will probably be us and a handful of other people.
If it hasn't happened yet then there's a reason. What's yours?
Not an american. So I have that going for me.
