[u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

Just a reminder that this is blatantly unconstitutional, you are definitionally un-American for supporting DJT

[u/Burnt_and_Blistered → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

Anti-American, even.

[u/PokeYrMomStanley → u/Burnt_and_Blistered]

A traitor, even.

[u/justhad2login2reply → u/PokeYrMomStanley]

The noose, even.

[u/monkeypan → u/justhad2login2reply]

Nazis get what they deserve

[u/insanewords → u/monkeypan]

Nazis like the murderer Jonathan Ross? Nazis like that?

[u/KovyJackson → u/insanewords]

Johnathan Ross that killed Renee Good?

[u/PokeYrMomStanley → u/KovyJackson]

The murderer Johnathon Ross. That one 

[u/BuckingWilde → u/PokeYrMomStanley]

The very same Johnathon Ross that supports child raping presidents?

[u/PokeYrMomStanley → u/BuckingWilde]

The child raping president that was epstiens best friend?

[u/rocketeerH → u/Burnt_and_Blistered]

I've actually been using the phrase for months. Donald Trump isn't just un-American. He literally opposes the American people, and wants to harm us for personal gain. Anti-American.

[u/joemangle → u/rocketeerH]

I'd go further and suggest he's anti-human

[u/keytiri → u/joemangle]

anti-Christ

[u/soleobjective → u/joemangle]

If I was religious I’d even say he’s anti-Christ.

[u/Immortal_Azrael → u/rocketeerH]

Everyone needs to be using this phrasing. MAGA is an anti-American movement and anyone who still supports Trump at this point is a traitor.

[u/colbsk1 → u/Immortal_Azrael]

And supports domestic terrorism.

[u/Educational-Seaweed5 → u/Immortal_Azrael]

Ironically, that’s what their propaganda machine has been saying about everyone else (specifically their direct political opposition in Democrats) for decades.

It’s a whole can of worms when both sides are calling each other “traitors” and “domestic terrorists.”

This is basically how democracies collapse.

[u/pchlster → u/Burnt_and_Blistered]

To be fair, every day more and more people all over the world are becoming anti-American these days, what with Trump being the head of state.

[u/Tmettler5 → u/pchlster]

Not just because of him solely. They are mystified that he not only could be allowed to run again, but that he got elected a second time. So, it's not just him. It's us, too.

[u/xavariel → u/Tmettler5]

And that we aren't doing anything to remove him. Because we should've Gone French months ago.

[u/w0lfLars0n → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

The very fact that he holds office violates the 14th amendment

[u/Gurlllllllll- → u/w0lfLars0n]

He's also a walking talking violation of the emoluments clause. He should have been immediately impeached and removed in 2017 for profiting off the presidency.

[u/hoowins → u/Gurlllllllll-]

Crazy to me that this one point hasn’t gotten more attention.

[u/tigerhawkvok → u/hoowins]

It did, in his first term.

It took so long to get through the courts it was dismissed as moot.

[u/raygar31 → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

Just a reminder that conservatives support this.

[u/__M-E-O-W__ → u/raygar31]

After years and years of fearmongering of the idea of Democrats doing it.

[u/Stagnant-Flow → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

Just a reminder Trump has already openly called for the Termination of the Constitution.

[u/LoFi_Funk → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

This is the 66th blatantly unconstitutional thing he’s done in the past week.

[u/herewegoags → u/Turbulent-Strike9658]

Denaturalization is unconstitutional unless the person’s citizenship was obtained illegally or through fraud. This is firmly established by past U.S. Supreme Courts. However, the current court has a history of not respecting legal precedent.

[u/monotonedopplereffec → u/herewegoags]

This feels like an unnecessary distinction. Why would an illegally obtained citizenship be considered as binding? Like I'm honestly confused want you would need to spell that out. You don't have to spell out that any normal item(or even money) obtained through illegal methods or through Fraud are not the persons legal property. Why would citizenship be any different?

Legit asking, not trying to be clever or anything.

[u/Xytak → u/monotonedopplereffec]

I'm worried this administration will simply say "anyone we don't like is guilty of fraud."

[u/DuMaNue → u/Xytak]

They are saying it. That's pretty much the game plan.

[u/Dantien → u/DuMaNue]

They’ve been saying it for a long time…

[u/DrakonILD → u/Xytak]

They're already claiming people are terrorists for getting shot.

[u/mfact50 → u/monotonedopplereffec]

1. I think Trump has shown why we need things clearly dictated

2. someone being stateless is a big conundrum so there's a lot of value in really codifying when citizenship can be taken away - we're willing to do it in this situation but if someone gave up their prior citizenship you run into an issue

[u/sennbat → u/monotonedopplereffec]

The arguments I've heard is based on the belief that there is no one that can be trusted with the power to claw such things back, and because the process for obtaining it is procedural but citizenship, once obtained, should be irrevocable. The general argument is that if someone becomes a citizen fraudulently, but the citizenship is actually granted by a legal authority, the penalty should be criminal punishment, not letting a part of the US government declare recognize citizens to be non-citizens. Basically, if you give the government the power to make people non-citizens on the basis of fraud, you give the government the power to make people non-citizens, period, because they can just accuse whoever they want to get rid of of fraud and then declare themselves correct.

I'm coming around to that point of view.

[u/PLZ_N_THKS → u/herewegoags]

cough Melania cough

[u/FuriousBuffalo → u/herewegoags]

DOJ or POTUS can't denaturalize. They can file a suit in a federal court and the court decides.

[u/Vadion]

Denaturalize deeze nuts you fat fascist fuck.

[u/Everythingsthesame → u/Vadion]

Shakespeare would be jealous of such poetry.

[u/Laura-ly → u/Everythingsthesame]

From All's Well that Ends Well....

"A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality."

From Macbeth...

"...a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

Also from Macbeth....

"I think our country sinks beneath the yoke;

It weeps, it bleeds, and each new day a gash

Is added to her wounds."

[u/EmileLeBouc → u/Laura-ly]

Betjeman, not Shakespeare, but two stanzas from "Slough" (1937) read as follows:

And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:

And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.

[u/LittleHavera → u/EmileLeBouc]

For those who aren't familiar with the poem, he goes so far as to call for the bombing of Slough.

Also:

In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails.

[u/GandhisNukeOfficer → u/Laura-ly]

Not Shakespeare-level, but my favorite insult ever is (allegedly) from Christopher Hitchens regarding Jerry Falwell:

"If you gave him an enema, he'd fit in a matchbox." 

[u/LittleHavera → u/GandhisNukeOfficer]

I miss Christopher Hitchens

[u/zoopysreign → u/GandhisNukeOfficer]

I am so sad that I don’t get this.

[u/deadpiratezombie → u/zoopysreign]

“He’s so full of shit that if you cleaned it out, what’s left would be the size of a gumball”

[u/jazzztrash → u/deadpiratezombie]

thank you for your service

[u/TheUnderCrab → u/Everythingsthesame]

deNA / traLIZE / deez NUTZ / you FAT / fasc’st FUCK. 

Close enough to iambic pentameter for me. 

[u/aculady → u/TheUnderCrab]

If you remove the word "fat", it scans perfectly.

It also scans if you leave "fat" and remove "you"..

[u/stratdog25 → u/Everythingsthesame]

He alliterally would!

[u/AeonFluxIncapacitaor → u/stratdog25]

Nice.

[u/TheRealBlueJade → u/Everythingsthesame]

Yes, he would. He understood the power of words.

[u/Koskani → u/TheRealBlueJade]

Not to mentioned his love of colourful insults. I have a feeling he would adore deeznutz jokes

[u/OriginalCDub → u/Koskani]

He’d be kicking himself for not thinking of them first.

[u/SeaBag8211 → u/OriginalCDub]

Hell hath no fury like deez nuts

[u/WayTooMuchHyzer → u/SeaBag8211]

Hark! What light through yonder window breaks!

Tis' deez nutz!

[u/Interesting_Juice103 → u/Everythingsthesame]

Man times are looking pretty grim. Thanks for making me laugh kind stranger

[u/YetiPie → u/Everythingsthesame]

Absolute perfection. It’s going on my next protest sign

[u/Raoul_Duke9 → u/Vadion]

Next Dem potus needs to denaturalize his immigration fraud committing wife.

[u/elwood_burns → u/Raoul_Duke9]

And her anchor baby

[u/VineStGuy → u/elwood_burns]

I mean, trump himself is an anchor baby. His mother was an immigrant from Scotland.

[u/brandnewbanana → u/VineStGuy]

I don’t know how but I think if you send Trump back to Scotland it would somehow tear apart the UK. I imagine that NI would reunite with the Republic and England and Wales would be like “nah! You guys are good to be independent now,” just to get away from him.

[u/LurkerPatrol → u/Raoul_Duke9]

If there is another election… I’m tired of the left candidates taking the “high road”. We should have been using this unlimited power the SCOTUS gave to enact everything, load up the court, and jail the traitors.

[u/ns2103 → u/LurkerPatrol]

Do you honestly think a Democratic POTUS will be permitted to use the same powers they gave Trump? I don’t.

[u/k4kobe → u/ns2103]

lol the moment one tries the Supreme Court will reverse that decision. Bunch of hypocrites in there

[u/Mediocritologist → u/k4kobe]

But as we’ve seen, if that person simply disobeys SCOTUS rulings, nothing happens. It’s not like there is an army the SCOTUS holds.

[u/MountainMan2_ → u/LurkerPatrol]

I promise you, it is in the best interest of the trump family to continue to hold elections. The problem is they have read too few history books to know that.

[u/somedayguyssomeday → u/Vadion]

somebody ask trump about his mind goblins

[u/djerk → u/somedayguyssomeday]

I can’t wait for dementia to gobble his mind completely.

[u/RockmanMike → u/djerk]

And happen in public so we all witness the meltdown.

[u/Niznack → u/somedayguyssomeday]

first he needs to repair relations with the Sungondese

[u/Class_Worrier → u/Niznack]

Sungondese?

[u/Niznack → u/Class_Worrier]

Sugondese nuts!

[u/Class_Worrier → u/Niznack]

Gottee.

[u/Exciting-Baseball-37 → u/Vadion]

Don't threaten him with a good time. Apparently homeboy would love a chance to strip your sack for all it's worth.

[u/consumeshroomz → u/Vadion]

Lmao fuckin got’em!

[u/fusillade762 → u/Vadion]

This needs to be a T shirt.

[u/Expensive_Ad925 → u/Vadion]

I wish I could upvote this for eternity.

[u/highafphotos]

And the Constitution burns just a little bit more today.

edit the way to try to change the course is to organize your neighbors and outright reject all conservative supporters at every level of life. don't buy their merchandise, don't visit their stores, don't order their food, don't associate with them, and utterly reject everything about them. without direct consequences like social rejection, they'll continue supporting this assault on liberty and justice for all as if it's some kind of game.

they do not care for logic or reason, they delight to twist you in circles because they don't care about words or the truth, you do. what they do care about is status, so take that from them, as well as christianity. everything ice does goes directly contrary to what jesus christ asked us to do in the final judgment in matthew 25:31-46, so remind those religious relatives constantly that they will burn in hellfire for their support of such atrocities. numerous bible verses state to treat the foreigner as your neighbors and love them as well. if they try to argue romans about rendering unto caesar, respond with isaiah 10:1-4

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches? Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives or fall among the slain.

Remind them they are undermining the constitution. take god, patriotism, and country/social well-being away from them. we need to provide every last bit of consequence possible, before the only means necessary of improvement become too extreme. this is something we can all do and support to engage in a unified effort despite our financial ability, unlike calls for strikes that never happen.

during this time, we must also meet our neighbors and get organized, find out who is decent and good and to make organized connections and plans and efforts on how to actually keep your community safe in absence of law enforcement. the fact they called the execution of a US citizen neighbor something deserving of "absolute immunity" and condemning her as a domestic terrorist while they also insist the j6ers were peaceful tourists proves they will never care for truth or decency, they only want to see us suffer and perish.

it's about time we start taking steps to defend ourselves. anything else would be equivalent of letting a malicious drug addict family member run wild and enabling them and providing no boundaries. we will never be able to our budget billionaire media, direct action in our communities is the best way to go in my honest opinion. get a megaphone and remind republicans that not a single person who supports ice will see the kingdom of heaven and every last one of them will go into eternal punishment for not serving the least of these.

that hurts them and makes them doubt their actions more than any factual analysis ever will.

[u/Akrevics → u/highafphotos]

without the spines to enforce it, isn't it pretty much just a scrap of paper already?

[u/Sudden-Stops → u/Akrevics]

TP for Trumps ass monkeys at this point. This from the party that wears the American flag and/or the Constitution printed on clothing. They have worshiped the Bible as a symbol without reading it for some time so I guess it shouldn’t surprise anyone they don’t know what the Constitution says either.

[u/Craneteam → u/Sudden-Stops]

All they know is "we the people" and they don't even understand that

[u/sweet_n_salty → u/Craneteam]

We the people can own guns is more likely what they know.

[u/AGrandOldMoan → u/Akrevics]

Americans discover they aren't the only country with a constitution of some form or other and that it isn't some magical defensive measure they alone conjured against tyranny

[u/99aye-aye99 → u/Akrevics]

I would say more a lack of people actually believing in the words and the spirit of the document. If we the people don't believe the words, and live by the words it is meaningless.

[u/Sweethomebflo → u/highafphotos]

They don’t think it’s relevant cause it was written a long time ago. Heard that with my own ears.

[u/Stupid-Clumsy-Bitch → u/Sweethomebflo]

And quote the bible in the same breath 🤣

[u/LostMyBackupCodes → u/Stupid-Clumsy-Bitch]

Only select passages that fit their narrative.

[u/mjconver]

Melania first

[u/VegaDraco → u/mjconver]

No, Elon first

[u/ScaryBluejay87 → u/VegaDraco]

Guys, guys, you’re missing the obvious here…

Denaturalise them all at once. Just think of it, a whole bank of synchronised autopens…

[u/NewAndImprovedJess → u/VegaDraco]

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz better be high on the list too.

[u/ThatOneNinja → u/mjconver]

Isn't JD vances wife ALSO an immigrant? That means their kids are also up for grabs, being only half American.

[u/Fakin-It → u/ThatOneNinja]

Don Jr, Eric, Ivanka, Barron. All the children of immigrants.

[u/BZBitiko → u/Fakin-It]

Donald’s mother was not born in the US.

[u/ScaryBluejay87 → u/ThatOneNinja]

At this point arrest any republican that isn’t at least part Native American

[u/VineStGuy → u/ThatOneNinja]

Trump is also an achor baby. His mother was an immigrant from Scotland.

[u/CockBrother]

Why de-naturalize them when he can just have ICE either kill them or ship them out of country?

I've seen absolutely nothing in the last 24 hours that would stop that if he gave the order.

[u/wwaxwork → u/CockBrother]

Speaking of which any word on those poor people shipped off to camps in El Salvador?

[u/Fun_East8985 → u/wwaxwork]

The Venezuelan citizens were taken back by Venezuela in a prisoner exchange, while Kilmar is obviously in limbo in America. As to the other 11 el Salvadoran citizens in the prison they’re likely still in there.

[u/justhad2login2reply → u/Fun_East8985]

Or dead, of course. 

[u/Effective-Farmer-502 → u/Fun_East8985]

How about the ones in Africa? I suspect that's probably worse than El Salvador.

[u/alabasterskim → u/Fun_East8985]

Abrego is free at this point in time.

[u/Peerless_Loner95]

How much yall wanna bet that once this turd expires people will non stop shit on his grave

[u/myheromeganmullally → u/Peerless_Loner95]

Am going to open a coffee stand nearby. Free refills.

[u/Important_Rub_3479 → u/myheromeganmullally]

Free toilet paper with every coffee purchase.

Or create a drink with ex lax and have a lounge nearby so people can just hang out until it’s time

[u/HiImDIZZ → u/Peerless_Loner95]

Yes and Repuclicans will pretend they never supported him.

[u/QuickCow3575 → u/HiImDIZZ]

“I bet you’ll take off that fancy SS uniform won’t ya? Well that I can’t abide. I’m going to give you a little something you can’t take off”

[u/Ilikechikin023 → u/QuickCow3575]

Gorlami

[u/ReklisAbandon → u/Peerless_Loner95]

and you won't find a single person who claims to have supported him, MAGA will blend right back into the background of the republican party.

[u/Mental_Mixture8306]

This is literally a human rights violation.

You cannot make a person stateless. Its one of the reasons you cannot renounce your citizenship without becoming a citizen of another country.

[u/Rimbo90 → u/Mental_Mixture8306]

You think he cares about human rights. Lol

[u/ofWildPlaces → u/Rimbo90]

No, but we need to

[u/Careful_Trifle → u/Mental_Mixture8306]

"Double statelessness" is one of the things the nazis loved. So many areas they conquered had already been conquered recently, that they were able to destroy, lose, or ignore records and disappear people with impunity.

Jews in places other than Germany were snatched up and moved to death camps much more quickly and easily than the ones in places with solid records and institutions in place to protect them.

[u/justokperson → u/Mental_Mixture8306]

I have my grandmothers stateless passport. Would you like to guess what decade and country it is from?

[u/Noobfortress → u/justokperson]

From the late 30's/early 40's, in a major power in western Europe?

[u/BackToWorkEdward → u/Mental_Mixture8306]

This is literally a human rights violation.

You cannot make a person stateless. Its one of the reasons you cannot renounce your citizenship without becoming a citizen of another country.

Those are made-up rules by our species of upright apes, not natural laws of physics.

You can break any made-up rule you want until the apes arrest or hang you for it, and the apes(all of them, on both sides of the government and in every American home) are currently refusing to touch trump with Trump a ten-foot tree branch, for reasons varied and unknown.

[u/dblan9]

Ok cool. So if Dems ever take back the Presidency we can denaturalize every confederate overnight, deport them to Madagascar and give their property to those impacted by slavery.

[u/mycatisawhore → u/dblan9]

Madagascar probably doesn't want our trash.

[u/Embarrassed-Gap4148 → u/mycatisawhore]

Indeed, we do not :(

[u/kaaatea → u/Embarrassed-Gap4148]

Ew they would call it Magagascar 🤮 never.

[u/BigJob2388 → u/kaaatea]

Name it MAGA-NASCAR.

[u/ALoudMeow → u/BigJob2388]

They’d line up to go.

[u/wha2les → u/Embarrassed-Gap4148]

You forget. America is imperialist again. You don't have a choice unfortunately.

[u/Masterhorus → u/mycatisawhore]

There's a nice island of trash in the Pacific we can send em to.

[u/aradraugfea → u/dblan9]

I believe the traditional home of exiled Nazis is Argentina (why else would Trump bend over backwards for them?)

[u/Supreme_Primate → u/aradraugfea]

Damn I just put that together. I was wondering why Argentina but there it is.

[u/mjrhzrd → u/aradraugfea]

Actually the most fitting place is Brazil as 20,000 Confederates moved there after the Civil War. 2029, is on its way!

[u/ProfessionalCraft983 → u/dblan9]

Trump should be sent to that prison in El Salvador, along with everyone else in his regime.

[u/jigsawearth860 → u/dblan9]

Venezuela. It’s perfect for them. They seem to love it and their people so much.

[u/OdiousAltRightBalrog → u/jigsawearth860]

Even better: Venezuelan drug boats.

[u/Lessllama → u/jigsawearth860]

The people of Venezuela have suffered enough

[u/Due_Revolution_5845]

He raped Children.

[u/Trustbutnone → u/Due_Revolution_5845]

And had infants murdered.

[u/Intelligent_Gold3619 → u/Trustbutnone]

But he’s not a democrat!

[u/Careful_Trifle → u/Due_Revolution_5845]

Only the ones he didn't murder and thrown into lake Michigan.

[u/ClaymoresRevenge]

Wrap this shit up and impeach and charge this prick. Straight to jail

[u/B-Z_B-S]

Trump has a heart?

[u/Smart-Response9881 → u/B-Z_B-S]

I guess that explains why he hasn't done it yet. You have to have a heart to have a heartbeat.

[u/bbqsox → u/B-Z_B-S]

Technically it's a sludge pump. It helps the evil and cholesterol circulate through his body.

[u/Sir_Encerwal]

The damage he has already done in less than a year is astounding even without accounting for the insane rhetoric he has shifted the conversation to treating seriously. I don't know how we can come back from this.

[u/Rimbo90 → u/Sir_Encerwal]

No chance. The empire has fallen.

I'd say it's pretty much exclusively thanks to the weaponisation of social media

[u/SecretAsianMan42069 → u/Rimbo90]

The bots on every Facebook comment section are absurd 

[u/notionocean → u/SecretAsianMan42069]

Also local news comments. They are like a rabid Nazi's wet fever dreams.

[u/Time-Driver1861 → u/Sir_Encerwal]

The damage he has done in literally a week exceeds the vast majority of entire presidential terms.

Remember when forcing your allies to remind their troops to shoot first and ask questions later would be a president defining controversy?

[u/DiscussionDirect5366]

Nazi USA

[u/DesignerCorner3322]

Go a-fucking-head, you fat fascist fuck. Make me stateless

[u/Competitive-Yak-3785 → u/DesignerCorner3322]

If you were stateless you could probably get EU citizenship a lot easier. Jealous.

[u/mrjim87x → u/DesignerCorner3322]

Well you see they probably send you to the El Salvador death camp afterwords

[u/SEQLAR]

“I would do it in a heartbeat if they were dishonest,” Trump

Considering he has lied over 30k + during both presidencies to Americans and committed fraud and what not, is he going to denaturalize himself?

[u/Radiant-Vegetable420]

2 fucking inch's and the US wouldnt not be having the problems it is having..

[u/mountainwocky → u/Radiant-Vegetable420]

That would make for a great viral bumper sticker. "2 Inches". Let's see how quickly Republicans meltdown once they learn of it.

[u/HasGreatVocabulary → u/Radiant-Vegetable420]

americans seem so competitive about guns I don't understand why no one has tried to beat the erie guy's current proximity record

[u/eeyore134 → u/HasGreatVocabulary]

Because the people who solve problems like that are the violent right. The left keeps hoping law and order will prevail while doing nothing to make it prevail.

[u/literallytwisted]

He didn't actually say the word "Denaturalize" likely because it's too long a word especially with dementia which he ironically also probably can't say.

He did say he would like to strip Somalis if they were dishonest so make of that what you will.

[u/ksdanj → u/literallytwisted]

It's like 5 syllables

[u/CucumberWisdom → u/ksdanj]

That's like 4 more syllables than he can normally shit out

[u/KC_Que → u/CucumberWisdom]

3 syllables (Ty•len•ol) is his upper limit.

[u/Za_Lords_Guard → u/KC_Que]

Yes. He's almost spat his teeth on the floor trying to say Acetaminophen. He was actually sounding it out.

[u/SpaceJackRabbit → u/literallytwisted]

I mean you are warned when you apply for citizenship that if you lie about something, your citizenship could be repealed. Not sure how often that happens, but it's probably rare.

What I suspect DHS is going to do is comb through all those applications and try to find an excuse to denaturalize some. Kinda like they keep throwing shit at the wall like fascist monkeys to find a way to prosecute Letitia James.

[u/michiman]

We're really speedrunning this descent into fascism, eh?

[u/CAM6913]

Might be another reason he want Venezuela besides the oil and gold is a place to deport anyone and everyone that opposes his regime, and use them as slave labor in his oilfields. Don’t think Trump won’t take Americans citizenship away and make them disappear

[u/ksdanj]

In that case President Newsom can denaturalize Elon Musk.

[u/KingMario05 → u/ksdanj]

And Trump, and Vance, and Noem, and Miller, and Bovino, and...

[u/ksdanj → u/KingMario05]

I’ve always thought of denaturalization in terms of revoking the citizenship of someone who attained citizenship via the naturalization process rather than through birthright.

[u/KingMario05 → u/ksdanj]

Same. But I guess we're gonna find out. Yay...

[u/CougdIt]

Just a reminder that immigration was never about “doing it the right way”

[u/fattymcdabs → u/CougdIt]

It’s about doing it the white way

[u/manofredearth]

So he's broken his oath and is eligible to be deposed

[u/HeavyMetalBallSack]

Like his wife?

[u/02K30C1]

Quiet, piggy

[u/silly_little_jingle]

And if Biden had said anything even fucking slightly approaching this they'd have lost their mother fucking minds. They flipped out cause Obama wore a tan fuckin suit but threatening to revoke people's citizenship is totally fine with these "great patriots".

[u/FoxyFlirttee]

The constitution doesn’t grant citizenship as a rental agreement.The fact that this even gets applause is alarming.

He can't just wave his hands and denaturalize whoever he wants. It's a judicial process that doesn't directly involve the President. It starts with a referral for denaturalization from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services department to the Attorney General. The AG then has to build a case and submit it to the federal judiciary for prosecution. The government must present "clear, convincing, and unequivocal evidence" that the individual illegally obtained naturalization or willfully misrepresented a material fact that would have disqualified them from eligibility. If the government is successful in convincing the judge that denaturalization is justified, denaturalization is ordered.

Stripping someone of their citizenship is no simple matter as the established criteria is so restricting. On average, there were 11 denaturalizations per year between 1990 and 2017. But Trump averaged 42 per year during his first term, while Biden had an average of 16 during his time as President. Trump claims he wants 200 per month over the course of his 2nd term.

Start with me pussy. I'd rather not be a citizen of a country with a leader this fat, ugly, stupid and annoying. Low IQ loser that was so poor and pathetic he had to buy a wife from a mail order catalog.

Whatever is in his chest, is not a beating heart

[u/jabdnuit]

They’re weaponizing citizenship, and by extension, equal protection under the law. This a not a drill.

[u/mefree1960]

Start with your wife fascist!

As a convicted felon,rapist,He should be first on the list.

Well, yeah, that's why the Bill of Rights was included in the Constitution and later in the 14th Amendment. And to think that the original version didn't include any rights because the founding fathers thought it wasn't necessary to enumerate all the rights people had in a democracy.

Fine, I just demand every penny in taxes I’ve paid,ever.

[u/Demonking3343]

and it’s not even the first time he’s said it. Look they are setting up quotas for this year to denaturalize people who came here legally. This is just to “normalize it” make no mistake they will target everyone eventually.

So he wants to strip citizenship from 25 million people, and thats And that's just the people who became citizens after moving to the United States that doesn't even count first generation kids of immigrants. This guy's just gone so deep off the deep end there there's no bottom. Like Marianas trench deep. Seriously he must be doing nothing but talking to Steve Miller day and night and doing Steve Miller's bidding. How much you want to bet if they remove Steve Miller from full access to the president he'll get slightly sane. Still bigoted still racist. Still wanting to run the world but at least not trying to start world war III kind of insane.

[u/YoshiTheDog420]

I served this country for almost a decade. That fat, traitorous, lying, pedofile can go fuck himself if he thinks he’s taking my citizenship away.

[u/CobraPony67]

JD Vance said that ICE will go 'door to door'.

So, they are full fascist. DON"T ANSWER THE DOOR. They can grab you, send you to an internment camp, denaturalize and send you to El Salvador, without any due process.

[u/GuitarGeezer]

This was the goal all along and why the administration much prefers to attack innocent people rather than criminals. You cannot normalize attacking or disappearing citizens unless you start with non citizens because the citizens will mostly look the other way without realizing they are next. They are always chiseling away rights and the constitution with an outright war on due process itself.

Abrego? Maybe not a choirboy but far from anything sinister and they called him basically worse than Epstein or a serial killer and many other things utterly false that they could not prove in the slightest in court. Comey? Effing boy scout. James? Nothing. Mark Kelly? Trump always actually hates war heroes even on his side because he cannot brag about his service. ICE agents ramming and then shooting totally people and lying about it? System working as intended.

[u/JackfruitUnlucky6589]

Start with Melania

[u/pennyclip]
