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

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 132 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Well, we still haven't seen Trump's birth certificate, soo

Melania escaped from a Chinese lab conducting unethical research on human-plastic hybridization, that's why they won't produce the birth certificate

A great American city is on the precipice of being run by a communist who has publicly embraced a terroristic ideology,” Representative Andy Ogles from the Republican party said

What the fuck are these cretins on?

Is anyone left from Hitler a "communist" now?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 59 points 1 week ago (9 children)

What do you mean "now?" Americans have had this habit of calling anyone whose politics they disapprove of a "communist" or "socialist" for a very long time.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 37 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The best part is they can't even define communism or socialism.

Literally and without exaggeration, yes, that's what they truly believe.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago

I feel like this is unfair, because you are leaving out a pretty important part of the issue.

These people also think Hitler was a moderate.

They know that nobody with a red hat as EVER read or listened to an actual thing Mamdani has ever said. They could say he flew one of the planes on 9/11 and most of the base would believe it.

Given the turnout and hype around the election, a riot would ensue if the losers took away citizenship to deprive the winner of their winnings.

Giving them the excuse they crave to put NYC into a full on police state

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’m not sure there are enough people on their side to hold a city like New York.

[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would fight for New York and I live in California. The fascists are failing.

Yeah, I'm not saying it will go well. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't try. Trump is most notably a stubborn and stupid person

Fascists don't need an excuse to do what they want to do. They're toddlers. It's like saying a cat needs an excuse to push a fragile memento off a shelf.

No. It’s not. Constitutionally anyway. But… considering the Terrorist Party is above all law it seems….

ICE just needs to scan his face with the Racistron 2000 app and it overrides his birth certificate, haven't you heard?

[–] theoneandonlyeggboi@lemmings.world 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Keep in mind, they're doing this while protecting multiple child rapists within their own party.

I genuinely hope we have mass executions one day for the scumbags taking us for a ride.

dems on first day of getting back into power

we have seen for unity and healing across the isle... parsons all GOP and ICE for their crimes

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

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] GlitchyDigiBun@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

And starving prisoners presumed guilty before trial...

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.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

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

[–] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 32 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The GOP and Republicans are a terrorist organization

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 20 points 1 week ago

My limited understanding say this is actual true.

This definition is straight from the FBI website.

Republicans have no intention of abiding by the law, listening to voters, or actually governing. With them, it's all about the racism, cruelty, and lawlessness. Never let them have power again...

[–] arc99@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

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

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 27 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Don’t they need a functioning government for that?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

As shown by SCROTUS recently, no. They will just call it an emergency measure and shove it through.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

great news, enough dems caved and the senate passed a funding bill, without any of the demands the dems were making in the beginning.

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.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Equates to political assassination. No rules of law, get your brown coats on.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No. But also, they'll get away with it.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

Is it possible? Of course it's possible. America is no longer a country under the rule of law. The fact we haven't had mass executions, starting from the agent who made the 'grab' and continuing up the chain until the finale, ending with the president, for court orders being flagrantly violated for deporting people (and all the other ones as well, but I digress) that a court has said should not be deported, is clear evidence america is done as any sort of functioning democracy.

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 11 points 1 week ago

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.

If the Gestapo kidnaps this man shit is going to hit the fan
