I doubt it, but wouldn't be even a little bit mad to be proven wrong.
They're breaking the one rule right now: messing with rich people's money.
Nah man, 2027-2029. They're going to get so obese. This is just the appy.
Deport him where? "Back" to India? He's American. The word "deport" suddenly turned this call for justice that I would normally support into something reminiscent of WWII Japanese American internment camp propaganda.
Or modern Republican propaganda...
Trump has promised to end birthright citizenship, and floated revoking citizenship of those who already have it if their parents weren't citizens. Neither of Ramaswamy's parents were citizens when he was born; his father still isn't. So if Trump achieves his goal, Vivek could then technically lose his US citizenship.
In a sit-down interview Tuesday, Ramaswamy noted that his father is not a U.S. citizen and never took the test. “He did not. And that’s a choice that he has made for familial reasons,” Ramaswamy said.
“But my mother did,” he continued, explaining that she took the test and completed the process** after he was born**. “And I think that every immigrant who comes to this country in order to become a full voting citizen has to do the same.”
I mean... Who didn't see this coming?
Deport him? He may be a shithead grifter, but he's as American as I am, and it's racist bullshit to assume otherwise.
Come on, racists, don't make me stand up for this douche!
Just Nelson laugh at them
Haw haw
I believe when it's a citizen it's called exile, not deportation, and I'm pretty sure it's against international law.
That is a semantical difference if true.
Generally, natural born citizens can’t be deported unless they do a treason or intentionally fuck off to another country.
Not really. Deportation is saying "we were letting you in here under x conditions and those have changed and you're no longer welcome." Exile is a traditional punishment of "you were one of us but we no longer can tolerate your presence, get out or else." And yeah I'm pretty sure the united states doesn't have the legal capacity to sentence someone to exile, and we definitely don't have the legal capacity to deport natural born citizens (though we do sometimes do it, it's just illegal when we do).
Also is Ramaswamy even a citizen of India? And if so, are the people calling for him to be deported there aware of that?
I guess I don't have much faith in any body of law right now. What is the ICC gonna punish the trump admin when they can't even throw a guy commuting genocide in prison? These international laws mean less and less by the day sadly.
The GOP is the party of crime.
America is the country of getting scammed
That's under the "pro" column for Trump cabinet positions.
Nah, see, republican billionaires are in the "protected by and from the law" category.
Wait how was he a candidate for president if he can be deported?
Trump did said they're thieves, looks like he was right in this case.
Pump and Dump is legal now sadly
Everything is legal, unless it's done by the poors.
Yes. Billionaire parasites have made all of America Westworld. These phones and social media are how they program us.
Nothing after the first paragraph of this synopsis makes any sense
Well, yeah, it's conservativism
Fun fact: "Roivant Sciences" was named after ROI - return on investment.
The incoming administration is a fan of the death penalty, and they're not going to listen to my objections, so can we handle this the Vietnamese way?
