Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Gotta start with some clear examples

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What about their son? Also the two failsons, Eric and Junior. Don't they want to get rid of birthright citizenship, too? Their mom was not American.

And does seem to be a prime candidate for denaturalization since she became a citizen on a EB-1 visa, the "Einstein visa".

Probably cheaper than a divorce for the orange fascist.

I wonder what country his family immigrated from, probably one of those "shithole" ones.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Considering he's Catholic and the name Homan has roots in Ireland, he's probably one of those dirty Irishman that need not apply.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Thanks for bringing one of my favorite Pete Seeger songs to mind

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 39 points 7 months ago (1 children)

o0o can we start with racist conservatives?

[–] Subdivide6857@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

Are you implying non-racist conservatives exist?

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 21 points 7 months ago (4 children)

What's the obsession with deporting people? I really don't get it

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

Distractions from what they are really doing with the money

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They want a white Christian ethnostate

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

They looked at the Saudis and got jealous of the Saudi way of life.

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml -3 points 7 months ago

Eh, I don't really think so. I think maybe SOME people want that

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago

Gives them someone to blame

[–] KY13KR385@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 7 months ago

... and Melania...

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's willing to put local reps in jail? What about states rights?

Or was that always a great big qon lie?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

States rights is only when they want to do slavery.

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Oooh! Pick me pick me!
