Basically, they’re trying to find a decades-ago paperwork error by her father to take away her citizenship. If they’re allowed to do that, they can strip a huge fraction of Americans of their citizenship, and go ahead with Miller’s plan to deport 2/3 of the US population.

    Wait… Does this mean we can investigate Melania’s EB-1A “Einstein Visa”?

    Maybe not, she may have completed at least 3 of the 10 necessary criteria… I’m still suspicious though.

    There’s only one immigrant who should be stripped of their citizenship and deported and that’s Elon Musk.

      You’re one of those. What lets you sleep at night is the lie that this next horrible thing can’t happen because if it does, then something would finally be done about it. And then it happens, and nothing is done, but still you tell yourself that the next horrible thing won’t happen because if it did something would finally be done about it

      Much worse things have happened, and nobody got violent. Americans will only get violent when their direct benefits are endangered, not for the sake of others.

    They already have. They’ve been revoking Visas like crazy and of course the whole H1B thing. Kinda puts to bed the ridiculous notion that they just don’t want people here “illegally”. They just don’t want foreigners here at all. So they take legal immigrants and make them illegal.

    Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leadership helped pave the way for this islamophobic, racists, anti-feminist attack on Ilhan Omar. Nancy Pelosi claimed Ilhan Omar anti-semetic, when Omar criticized AIPAC and their outsized role in US elections. That was a multi-week news cycle liberals will almost certainly have memory holed by this time. Democratic leadership floated an effort to censure and paved the way for this attack, and to normalize these kinds of attacks of women in power, of brown people in power, of immigrants in power.

    Liberals pave the ground for the role out of fascism. Clock it.

    Also, Ilhan is my queen.

    And for the reactionaries already downvoting reality to maintain their fantasy about being on the side of good:

      Naaah. The downvotes are because of your inability to NOT find a way to somehow spread divisionist bullshit during an upcoming election.

      You did this shit in 2024 as well. And everyone outside of your little talkie…. Everyone is tired of it.

          It was those silencing dissent that handed 2024 to Trump, not those making legitimate critiques during an election and being told to shut up by people who weren’t bothered by their own tacit support for genocides: That is a fundamentally losing approach to elections. And everything we have regarding the 2024 post mortem shows this to be the case.

          Demanding voters shut up and fall in line during an election? Its an extraordinarily anti-Democratic, and a fundamentally anti-american sentiment. Americans, as a people, will practically always resent being told what to do. They are willful like a toddler is willful, often times to their own detriment. Do what you are doing here, and you push voters away from your preferred party.

          It’s also a fundamentally anti Democratic sentiment, and this is something Democrats need to do far more work to address, because time and time again, they show themselves to be a highly anti-Democratic party. The Hillary campaign and DWS as dnc chair in 2016, where DNC attorney Bruce Spiva argued to the supreme Court that the party had the right to: “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way”. Then their sabatoging of Bernie in 2020, their coronation of Biden and then Harris in 2024, I mean shit, the more recent Mayors race in NYC, and just about every primary where a now leading candidate was being being attacked by the corporate power structurs within the DNC. Democrats as leadership and as a party do not respect the democratic process. Leadership is willing to weight the scales, and voter accept and expect this.

          Democrats have a severe problem with both the act and the idea of democracy. And by agreeing with my opponent in this debate, you are showing a preference for an authorarian, anti Democratic, and in my opinion, fundamentally anti American form of politics.

        I’m sorry your team is also islamophobic. Maybe you try and change them.

        *edit

        As an aside, I think your comment is worthy of an instance wide ban. People engaging in this kind of bad faith disparagement, when they’re the ones supporting the racism of the Democratic party; they have no place in our community. Racism shouldn’t have a home here simply because liberals are comfortable with a particular flavor.

          It should not be a bannable offense to point out that racist democratic opposition years ago to Ilhan Omar’s candidacy has little to do with Trump’s DOJ and their persecution of her due to baseless conspiracy theories. Fascists don’t need to be enabled to be racist, they are already racist, and calling for someone to be banned for not automatically agreeing with you is a dick move.

            Ahh yes. The “fascism is a mushroom that dropped from the sky overnight” approach to politics.

            Fascists absolutely do need to be enabled to be successful and it’s absolutely what history tells us about fascist movements. Fascism fundamentally depends on liberalism to clear it’s runway. It doesn’t pop out of the ether.

            What trump is doing now isn’t possible without the baseline islamaphobic racism as expressed within the Democratic party, an islamophobia which has been persistent for decades.

            And you’ll need to look up their deleted comment to understand the call for a ban. They were calling me a bot and advocating for violence (that I should be bombed). That’s in addition to the baseline racism because of how Democrats have normalized it, is for whatever reason, just considered acceptable.

            That’s whose side you are taking.

            Well its like insider trading. Rules are defined not by how they are written, but by how they are applied. This forum has silenced left wing, anti-fascist, anti-colonial voices, consistently and structurally, because moderation either ignores or sponsors those who would accuse others of being bots since its inception. There is nothing holding back administration or moderation from being better other than themselves. They choose to let behaviors slide when it supports their world view.

            This space in particular has worked to center the kind of baseline implicit racism which has defined American liberalism in the post 9-11 era, as much as anywhere else. And thats why GuyFawkesV is comfortable making their accusations in the manner that they did. Because there are little to no consequences as such in doing so.

                Here’s the thing, and you’ll notice it here and across the elections and primaries this year: you fucking lost.

                If what you are saying is true, which we can’t entirely trust because you’ve obviously had to move alts: You lost the election for us by insisting the voters move to a pro genocide candidate, instead of demanding the candidate move to being anti genocide. and that very demand lost Democrats the election.

                And we told you it would do that. And then it did. Then you tried to blame us for your moral failing.

                And now, with the pro genocide Wing of the Democrats being at their lowest polling in history, specific because of what you advocated for, we’ve got a glimmer of hope in anti genocde, anti fascist, and pro socialist part of the party. That hope comes from our ability to correctly critique the actions of the Democratic party as a whole.

                You, the one who wants to silence legitimate criticism: 2024 is in your head. and no matter how you try and spin it, this what history, and the general understanding among the population shows. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how elections and politics work, and it’s a misunderstanding that bends towards authoritarianism.

        My data center is actually operating in Transnistria, but Ukraine hasn’t bombed me yet for some reason. The data center supports me alone though, so I guess you could call it my physical body here on Earth.
