Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.
He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.

He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.

Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.
I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I'll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.
It’s handy when the trash takes itself out, isn’t it.
It would've been, but I don't know why you're saying that now because it clearly didn't. We decided to fucking wallow in it instead.
It doesn’t work like that.
If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.
On top of them just sounding like a total psycho. It’s interesting watching liberals become what they hate so quickly lol
The Haitians were here legally and he campaigned on kicking them out. And if you think the supreme court is about to defend any monitory's rights you haven't been paying attention. He's gone on record saying it's okay if they screw up a few times deporting people
Sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that ICE can’t deport citizens.
Our newly Republican controlled Congress, however, can legislate denaturalization.

Laws only matter where there's a will and power to enforce them. This supreme court has made it clear the president can break laws if its an "official" order. I don't think it's likely but it's absolutely possible. Europe didn't see WW2 coming and plenty of Jews were German citizens. None of this is even unprecedented
If they voted then they aren’t illegally here?
Won't mater to Trump
How is that going to help anything? That just makes you an asshole.
They literally asked for it though?
Voted for it in droves.
Just giving them what they wanted.
Don't start none won't be none
Sadly that didn't affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.
