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

Move comes after rightwing Republican accuses New York City mayoral candidate of concealing support for ‘terrorism’

The Trump administration has raised the possibility of stripping Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic mayoral candidate for New York City, of his US citizenship as part of a crackdown against foreign-born citizens convicted of certain offences.

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, appeared to pave the way for an investigation into Mamdani’s status after Andy Ogles, a rightwing Republican representative for Tennessee, called for his citizenship to be revoked on the grounds that he may have concealed his support for “terrorism” during the naturalization process.

Mamdani, 33, who was born in Uganda to ethnic Indian parents, became a US citizen in 2018 and has attracted widespread media attention – and controversy – over his vocal support for Palestinian rights.

In no way, shape, or fucking form nor by any conceivable (or even inconceivable) stretch of even the fucking wildest of imaginations.

I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.

So I'm gonna go with "No."

Started reading this as "stacking up animation" and thought you are going for inner escapism with your anime collection when there'll be problems with interwebs, interpipes and intergunshots on the streets.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (4 children)

fyi there is no such thing as a no log vpn; be careful out there.

also look into reloading. it’s not only economical but nerdy fun too.

No, we're about as far from OK as a country can get. The world needs to unite against us and muster the largest liberation force ever seen. And I mean the entire world literally every nation that can send warriors, send them. Germans, you have been where we are. You know, all too well, where this road leads. You could not turn yourselves back from it, and so you needed the help of 4 allied world powers. Now, one of those world powers is trudging down that same road you walked almost a century ago. And, I don't think we will be able to turn ourselves back, just as you could not.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago

Well said. I think the rest of the world has a pretty vested interest in the US not going completely off the rails, even if we don't deserve the help after all the imperialist bullshit.

Not fucking at all.

No we're pretty fucking far from ok.

No, but all the conservative evangelical "but suffering brings us closer to God" waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.

For anyone in France, we might need some help

No, but if we could hang on for another year or so while I prepare to move that'd be great.

"Terrorism" as in "Taxing the rich"?

[–] UlyssesOnlyOnce@lemmy.coffee 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Its a good thing Democratic leadership has condemned this. They obviously don't like the man and see him as a threat, but Trump's actions are far worse. They did stand up for him right? Right?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 day ago

They stand up for him in the most feeble, token way, once they're sure it won't affect the outcome. Then they'll regretfully run Cuomo.

Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It's good for you. I heard it on Fox News.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

First: ~~Human~~ MAGAs.

Second: I’m more of a proponent for aqueous fluoroantimonic acid instead of bleach, but do recognize the effectiveness and cost savings provided by bleach.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

It's an important distinction. No need for them to take their pets down with them.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua's fluoride animatronic acid

[–] don@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thank you, fartographer ~stop it, autocorrect, I meant the f goddammit~, for your kind if maybe confusing compliment

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have a friend named don. I just met them. It's you. You're my friend now.

Deal with it.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 2 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

What exactly is Fartography? Like, what would the job description be?

Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there

[–] don@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fuckass conservatives have long since been brainwashed into fantasizing about being fascist, and the democratic leadership has done pretty much fuckall about it.

If deporting him turns out not to work, perhaps admitting to psychiatry because of Trump Derangement Syndrom would?

This is a sad possibility and if it happens we need to take action and be in the streets and outside the White House.

Nothing is off the table for the fascist Trump administration, absolutely nothing.
